He co-hosts a pair of popular podcasts — Two Bears One Cave with pal and fellow comic Bert Kreischer, and Your Mom’s House with wife/comedian Christina Pazsitsky; penned a bestselling book of humorous essays; sells out stand-up shows across the country; and just released his fifth Netflix stand-up special, Tom Segura: Sledgehammer, which is one of the best of the year.

Because of the pandemic forcing that year to go to waste — and I still worked, doing rooftop shows, backyard shows — I ended up doing stand-up for another year, so this was a three-year turnaround. Obviously, it’s subjective, and people are open to feel any way they want about what you put out, but I feel that way as well.

He has two sisters named Jane and Maria [16] and is related to the neurobiologist and podcast host Andrew D. Since then, he has made a lasting footprint in the comedy world with seven stand-up comedy specials.I know he was born there, but I remember the first time I visited Canada, I was like, “How’s this gonna go here? Segura's fourth special for Netflix, Ball Hog, premiered on March 24, 2020, and a Spanish-language special was planned for the fall of 2020, before the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. And I always like to point out that these are alleged accusations, and that some very savvy detectives online have managed to point out the dots between these people who have gone missing and his tour dates.

In 2018, Segura and Pazsitzky landed a TV deal with CBS, who gave a pilot production commitment for their show The Little Things. I’ll tell you this: I don’t want to sell out who has told me, but there is one hundred percent confirmation that he is extremely well-aware of what’s going on, he knows who I am, and he fuckin’ hates my guts! And the 7-year-old saw me talk about him on [Stephen] Colbert, and he was really kind of fascinated, just staring. The Cruz one really popped online, but it didn’t feel evergreen — as much fun as it was to tell and the pop was so great.
