It’s hosted by Fred Armisen in the role of Xander Szavost, some kind of Bezos/Musk billionaire who almost shares a name with a character from Eyes Wide Shut, and whose accent curiously veers in and out of sounding like John Cale on the Velvet Underground’s “The Gift.” Szavost is in search of the perfect comedy sketch, and each episode will consist of him listening to and then evaluating a different sketch. And these sketches won’t drag on-those episodes will only run for three to five minutes each, making this one of the shortest podcasts I’ve ever heard. The Sketch Factor removes some of that risk by focusing on scripted comedy sketches, with one per episode. That can be hilarious, obviously, but it’s also a bit of a tightrope walk. It seems like most comedy podcasts rely on a combination of improv and off-the-cuff conversations.
