About the episode

In this episode of Born Funny, we sit down with the hilarious Monty Franklin, and things get wild fast. From sharing stories about growing up in a "funny" family that never listened to him at the Christmas table to his disbelief over the infamous Great Emu War of 1932, Monty’s got us laughing from start to finish. He recounts an awkward, life-changing moment involving Rob Schneider that kicked off his Hollywood comedy career—while Monty was, shall we say, in a compromising position. And you won't believe the story of how John Cleese and Jim Jefferies got involved in his upcoming movie. Monty also dives into Australian culture, explaining why "c*nt" is a term of endearment and how Hollywood stars like the Hemsworth’s have set unrealistic beauty standards for Aussies. This conversation is full of incredible impressions, and crazy tales that will leave you in stitches.
