Matt Mitchell | Comedian and Creator

From 2022's second season of Short Takes, host Blaine Duncan gets a chance to sit and talk with Alabama comedian and internet personality Matt Mitchell. If you don't know his name, there's still a high chance that you've seen some of Matt's work or videos -- he nails Alabama life with hilarity; someone you know has shared or showed you a Matt Mitchell joke. In this week's episode, Matt talks about his former days of parodying the Daily Mountain Eagle, his wisdom on when a joke is funny enough, the idea of ghosts, and what's done up real good for him.
