The Jersey Devil and Why We Love Weird N.J., with Chris Gethard!
New Jersey is obsessed with haunted, creepy and scary stuff all year long — but even more so during Halloween! So what better time to talk about the state’s most famous cryptid, the Jersey Devil! Jeremy is joined by comedian and New Jersey legend Chris Gethard to break down why New Jersey loves the Jersey Devil so much (2:35), the creature’s disputed origins (8:59) and what he symbolizes about the Garden State (16:59). Chris explains why the state is intrigued by the devil in general (18:23), the importance of Weird N.J., the magazine that shaped childhoods across the state (31:59) and then schools Jeremy on more of New Jersey’s legendary cryptids (36:51). Finally, Jeremy puts Chris through the Garden State Gauntlet, Halloween edition (41:27)!
