Steve Rannazzisi on The League, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Stand-Up vs Acting & NY Sports Fandom

Comedian and actor Steve Rannazzisi joins the podcast ahead of his stand-up shows at Comix Roadhouse at Mohegan Sun (Jan 22–24) for a wide-ranging conversation on comedy, acting, and sports.

Steve breaks down what came first in his career—stand-up or acting, which one’s harder, and how he landed the role of Kevin on The League during its legendary 7-season run. We dive into the casting process, the real-life chemistry of the cast, and whether fans still stop him to yell “Shiva Blast!” or call him Kevin.

He also talks about unforgettable cameos ranging from NFL stars to Meghan Markle, clears up the infamous “disturbance in the kitchen,” on Curb Your Enthusiasm and shares what it’s really like working with Larry David.

To wrap it up, Steve puts on his fan hat and ranks New York sports teams from his own fandom perspective.
