Starting this week, Guy Montgomery will be putting his fellow comedians’ spelling abilities to the test in front of a studio audience in his new show, Guy Montgomery’s Guy-Mont Spelling Bee. In the meantime, he spills the beans on what makes him laugh, life hacks and living the dream.
To keep fit and healthy, well, this is a question on the lips of every New Zealander. How does Guy Montgomery maintain his iconic hourglass figure? Well, four days a week, I head down to a CrossFit gym and explain to the fellas who are flipping one of those big tyres end-over-end that if they just put it on its side and let it roll, the whole thing will be so much easier. They don’t take too kindly to this and inevitably chase me for anywhere between seven to 10km.
To keep mentally and emotionally healthy, I talk about my feelings with my friends, and I see a therapist. I would recommend both or either of these completely radical concepts to any New Zealand man reading this.
The best advice I’ve ever been given about life is ask questions and listen to the answers. I do not know much about anything, but everyone else knows a lot about something. Some of the best conversations I’ve had are listening to someone who is very passionate about something. They become very excited while talking about it. Even the most boring thing in the world is exciting to someone, and that rocks.
If I wasn’t a comedian, I would be absolutely devastated. Why am I not a comedian anymore!? This is my favourite thing in the world.
