My TED talk is out now! I got to share some of my all time favorite jokes and bits. It’s about teaching in an elementary school, trying to help adults learn improv, and how I got banned from LinkedIn. Please watch it and share it and hire me to perform at your school/company/conference.

Please do not leave mean comments or sue me if you work at LinkedIn!!

Speech recognition has come a long way. Until it meets a toddler.

Children don’t always use complete words - or anything resembling them. Yet somehow, parents know exactly what they mean. They can translate the gibberish, understand the context and often anticipate the request before a word is even spoken.

In the first film from The Parent Launch - an initiative that borrows the language of smart-assistant marketing to reframe everyday parenting as the intelligence it already is - award-winning comedian, television writer and podcast host @chrisiduffy introduces the most advanced speech-recognition system of all: DAD.

𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘛𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Watch the film and meet The OG Assistant (and Way More).

If it made you smile - or feel seen - share it with a parent who deserves the same recognition❤️.
