Joel Kim Booster didn’t expect to get his start in showbiz through stand-up, but he made a name for himself by laying it all out there on stage with his “hot idiot persona.” Joel takes Sam back to his suburban roots with a story about how he first found his queer community working at Cold Stone Creamery. Plus, he shares how he met Bowen Yang and the inspiration behind his film Fire Island.
