From juggling on street corners at age 10 to warming up audiences for Full House, Fuller House, and Lopez vs. Lopez, Ron has spent decades perfecting the art of making people laugh. Keith and Ron bond immediately over their mutual connection to comedy legends Norm MacDonald and Bob Saget, swapping wild stories that only people in their world would understand. Ron opens up about growing up as the youngest of eight kids, finding comedy as an escape, battling the side effects of being 90% deaf in one ear, and what it truly means to never master the craft.

Packed with laughs, industry insight, and genuine human connection, this one is a must-listen for comedy fans and aspiring entertainers alike. &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp; Guest Bio Ron Pearson is a veteran stand-up comedian, actor, juggler, and one of Hollywood\u2019s most in-demand audience warm-up performers.
