Ike Barinholtz: Hollywood Stories, Trivia Wins, & California Adventures
Episode 129
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Josh Meyers welcomes one of his oldest friends: actor, comedian, and writer Ike Barinholtz.The two look back on their early days performing together and how one unforgettable trip to Los Angeles convinced Barinholtz that California was home. “The L.A. I see every day, it's that Get Shorty, late nineties-ish L.A. I still see it through that lens, and I just fell in love with it,” he shares. Barinholtz reflects on his Emmy-nominated role in The Studio, followed by a hilarious only-in-Hollywood story straight from the show itself. He also talks about his love of trivia—from winning Celebrity Jeopardy! to teaming up with his dad to earn $1 million on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. “It was a Scrabble question… We had two lifelines left, and one of them was ‘Ask the Host’ and Jimmy Kimmel, as it turns out, is a Scrabble freak,” Barinholtz says. A longtime Angelino, Barinholtz also shares some of his favorite things to do locally, including sunset visits to the Annenberg Beach House, hikes beneath the Hollywood Sign, and family outings to the Original Farmers’ Market. He also highlights beloved getaways like Santa Barbara, Mammoth Lakes, Solvang, and San Francisco. The episode wraps with a lively rapid-fire round.
