For the foreseeable future, virality is often more valuable than actual jokes in the comedy world.

Marco Summers knows this. The Kansas City podcaster and comedian best known as Funny Marco has worked hard to earn more than five million followers on Instagram alone where eyeballs mindlessly gaze upon pranks and dry interviews.
