54. David Liebe Hart

Portrait by Nathan Berko-Gibson

Today’s featured guest is none other than actor, comedian, puppeteer, singer/songwriter, alien expert and all-around entertainer DAVID LIEBE HART. David is probably best known for his work on the TV show “Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job,” where he contributed original songs, puppetry and character acting. But he has been in show business for most of his life, with roles on the Golden Girls, Wings, his own show “The Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson Program,” and more recently, “I Love David” on Adult Swim. He’s also a prolific recording artist, with dozens of albums to his credit including collaborations with outsider legends like Jad Fair and Kool Keith. I spoke with David from his home in Los Angeles about his new album “The Wonderful World About Pigs, Horses, Clowns and Especially Dolly Parton,” his true Hollywood stories, grievances, and right off the bat, extra terrestrials.
