Marc Maron (born September 27, 1963) is an American stand-up comedian and podcast host. He has been host of The Marc Maron Show, and co-host of both Morning Sedition, and Breakroom Live, all politically-oriented shows, produced under the auspices of Air America Media. He was also the host of Comedy Central's Short Attention Span Theater for a year, replacing Jon Stewart. Maron has been a frequent guest on the Late Show with David Letterman and made 44 appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, more than any other stand-up performer. He was also a regular guest on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and hosted the short-lived American version of the British game show Never Mind the Buzzcocks on VH1.
One one side, forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Arthur wears two masks -- the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he's part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into a criminal mastermind. On the other side, there was young, naive Jack Napier, another failed comedian who owed a debt to Murray Franklin. Franklin, aside from being a talk show host, ran an “illegal” business known as the Red Hood gang which Napier was enlisted in. The tasks would soon prove too much as Napier would begin a downward spiral, soon joining Fleck as the duo became Gotham’s most feared psychopath in the Joker.
