**Los Angeles, CA** – Baltimore natives Stavros Halkias and John Waters, a rising comedy star and the iconic “Pope of Trash,” respectively, finally met on Wednesday night’s episode of Netflix’s new live talk show, “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney.” The encounter, a highlight of the show, showcased the pair’s shared Baltimore roots and provided a glimpse into the city’s unique character.
The two Baltimoreans shared stories about their hometown, with Waters fondly recalling Greektown’s infamous “Port in the Storm” bar, even mentioning he once took Blondie’s Debbie Harry there. Halkias, meanwhile, revealed a personal connection to HBO’s *The Wire*, explaining that filming for season two took place in his mother’s restaurant.
Their conversation also touched on unexpected topics, including squatters, a theme of the episode. Waters’ amusing anecdote about dating a squatter who could only “squat” but not sleep indoors due to his anarchist beliefs, led to a humorous observation about the aesthetic appeal of Antifa attire.
The unexpected meeting, filled with local anecdotes and witty banter, highlighted the distinctive charm of Baltimore and provided a memorable segment for viewers. The episode, described as having a “strange-for-strange’s-sake” feel, also featured fellow Maryland comedian Wanda Sykes.
