Never Not Funny (season 2)
The second season of the Never Not Funny podcast featured 40 episodes and was first broadcast June 1, 2007. The core lineup was Jimmy Pardo and Matt Belknap with weekly guests from the Los Angeles and Chicago comedy scenes. All 40 episodes were initially free and can now be purchased individually or as a whole season at pardcast.com[1].
Changes in the Second Season
Mike Schmidt, who left the show after episode 59 of season 1, was not replaced with another full-time co-host, however beginning with episode 201 Pat Francis became the most regular guest, generally appearing every fourth episode[2]. From this point on a different guest would feature on every episode.
Jimmy Cam
During the second season, Matt and Jimmy experimented with video elements to showcase Pardo's physical comedy and facial expressions. This resulted in "The Jimmy Cam" which was a short segment of the podcast posted as a youtube video[3]. This set the precedent for season 3's video segments and full video episodes from season 4 onward.
