Known for his slow, “grandfatherly” delivery and his penchant for wearing sweaters, Pera created the Adult Swim Infomercial Joe Pera Talks You to Sleep. This was followed by an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and another stand-alone Adult Swim special titled Joe Pera Helps You Find the Perfect Christmas Tree. Thanks to the success of those programs (all produced by Chestnut Walnut, founded by him and Conner O’Malley), Pera developed a television series for Adult Swim, which premiered on May 20, 2018, titled Joe Pera Talks with You. He appeared on the talk show Conan on March 28, 2017, and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on December 4, 2019. In 2021, Joe Pera released a book named A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing but Using the Bathroom as an Escape which was illustrated by Joe Bennett. via artist’s wiki
