John Early joins to dissect his career pivot from comedy to acting, teasing DC League of Super-Pets as the "first out gay superhero" (despite minimal lines) while dismissing Riverdale’s Caroline as irrelevant and joking about Hollywood’s lesbian indifference. He recalls Neighbors 2’s Franco kiss and Efron co-stars, ties Broad City to a coming "girls’ renaissance," and debunks his Wikipedia’s fake "Analyze Piss" entry—all while critiquing millennial media tropes. The episode blends sharp humor with industry insider takes on representation and legacy. [Automatically generated summary]

DC League of Super Pets 00:02:58
We are no, don't do it.
What do you think you're doing?
Whenever you're ready.
We are thrilled to welcome to the show actor.
Actor, right?
Comedian?
Yeah.
But you were more of a comedian than you started to act?
No, no.
The comedian came out of shame over just the pure actor.
So you do stuff.
I'm coming to terms with the actor and me.
Yes.
Well, you've acted in a lot of stuff.
Ladies and gentlemen, he has been in DC League of Super Pets.
He played Gary Allen the Flash.
That's pretty good.
By the way, I want to be clear.
Look, we need to find out if it is maybe possible that I was the first gay superhero.
Wait.
Out.
Out.
Because I am technically the Flash in a DC property called DC League of Super Pets.
I have like three lines.
I recorded it in a closet during COVID.
Wow, that's wow.
I thought it was out of the way.
Out of metaphor.
Out of the closet.
But what I'm saying is, I think it's possible that I was the first out gay superhero.
Actually.
And I've received no plaque.
Well, I'm sorry, but Virginia Gardner has played Caroline.
Girls don't know.
No, she's not.
You know what?
It's a superhero that's gay and not her.
No, no, no.
Okay.
Yeah, right.
I'm talking where the actor is gay.
And I think it would only be meaningful with a man actually have to be, because, you know, superheroes.
Yeah.
And also, no one cares about lesbians.
Yeah.
He has been in the.
Oh, that guy was canceled.
Who?
James Franco.
But what do you mean?
Oh, disaster artist.
I'm just reading from your Wikipedia here.
And has also been in Haters Back Off as Maureen the Mattress Queen.
He has not won Marx.
He has been sings.
Miranda sings.
Oh, wow.
That was her show on Netflix.
Wow, there's so many things that I've just never known.
The fungies?
What the fuck is the fungies, dude?
Is it an extant property?
He's been in the fungies.
It's an anime cartoon.
So you do a lot of cartoon work.
I do, yeah.
He has been American Dad.
That's pretty good.
Seth.
You love that.
It's the Mick Farlane.
Rick and Morty.
Because you were helping him.
No?
Yeah, yeah.
Rick and Morton.
That's how they brought you on.
He was voice episode analyze piss.
And that's pretty good.
That's what it says.
This is your fucking Wikipedia, dude.
Wow.
He was in voice, episode, analyze, piss.
You don't manage this?
You don't take care of this?
No, I know.
That's against the rules.
But I think some people clearly must manage it.
Someone's on top of this thing.
I mean, I would love to know who cares enough about me to enter facts about me on Wikipedia.
Someone's On Top 00:01:32
Seriously.
If you manage John's Wikipedia, will you hit the tip line?
There we go.
It was a little hesitant, but you're working up to it.
I'll let you do a really good one later.
I have a question for you.
What was being in Neighbors 2 Sorority Rising like?
You know, God, that was such a different time.
I was so young.
Yeah.
And I don't know.
I was in Atlanta at a W hotel.
I love that.
It was four days.
I kissed Dave Franco in the movie or just separately.
I just come right out with the first tip.
No, I kissed him in the movie.
We were engaged in the movie.
You know, I worked with, yeah, I was like, I spent four days with like Zach Efron, who was like totally sweet.
They had real actors.
And he had, yeah.
Brace.
Besides you.
I'm real.
Besides you, besides you.
But 2016 is a little early for that, right?
For what?
For you to be like a real actor.
No, I guess.
I don't know.
I feel like there was more heat than.
Oh, Broad City.
Yes.
That was a big show.
I feel like Broad City is about to, we're like a year and a half away from the Renaissance.
We're in the girls' renaissance.
That's what I'm saying.
Once they finish and flush out the girls' renaissance, then we're going to get back into, you know, a nice little Broad City millennial or something.
Very sweet.
You know, I've participated in a lot of the kind of projection of millennial bashing.
