During the podcast, C.K. became audibly emotional when talking about the birth of his first daughter. ''[[Slate Magazine]]'' called the interview the greatest podcast episode of all time in a 2014 list.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/ten_years_in_your_ears/2014/12/best_podcast_episodes_ever_the_25_best_from_serial_to_the_ricky_gervais.html\|title=The 25 Best Podcast Episodes Ever\|first1=David\|last1=Haglund\|first2=Rebecca\|last2=Onion\|date=14 December 2014\|publisher=\|accessdate=14 September 2016\|via=Slate}}</ref><ref>http://castroller.com/podcasts/WtfWithMarc/1866457-Episode%20111%20-%20Louis%20CK%20part%201</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.laughspin.com/marc-maron-shooting-scenes-for-louie/\|title=Marc Maron shooting scenes for ‘Louie’ so we transcribed the famous friendship chat from WTF\|publisher=\|accessdate=14 September 2016}}</ref> In 2013, Maron's assistant asked if he would be interested in interviewing "Kevin McDonald" to which Maron, a fan of [[The Kids In The Hall]] comedy troupe, agreed. On the day of the interview, Maron was greeted by a publicist who said that her client would be arriving to promote the movie he'd directed, Maron was surprised that McDonald had a publicist and was unaware that he'd directed a movie, but thought little of it as he rarely does much research or preparation before interviews, and especially not for guests with whose work he's already familiar. When the interviewee arrived, Maron learned that it was not Kids In The Hall comedian [[Kevin McDonald]], but instead Scottish film director [[Kevin MacDonald (director)\|Kevin Macdonald]], of whom Maron had never heard. Since MacDonald had arrived early, Maron excused himself, then furiously Googled MacDonald and learned that he'd directed ''[[The Last King of Scotland]]'', which he'd seen, and ''[[Being Mick]]'', of which he'd heard. Maron used this knowledge as a starting point for the conversation and the interview went well, but came out much shorter than a typical episode (which Maron speculated MacDonald didn't notice as he didn't seem to be particularly familiar with the podcast and, if anything, may have thought it went on for a little longer than he'd anticipated) so, upon bumping into him while they were both performing in Los Angeles, Maron invited [[Kevin McDonald]] to interview shortly after, so it could be a second segment of the podcast episode. McDonald agreed, saying that he had never met the director but they were both represented by [[William Morris Agency]] and had been mixed up before (including once by the [[Internal Revenue Service]]). The episode was released with the title "[[Kevin MacDonald (director)\|Kevin Macdonald]]/[[Kevin McDonald]]" on March 10, 2014.<ref>{{cite web\|url=~~http~~https://variety.com/2013/digital/features/marc-maron-wtf-and-the-wrong-kevin-macdonald-1200919733/\|title=Marc Maron’s Morning Scramble Was a True ‘WTF’ Moment\|first=Carole\|last=Horst\|date=12 December 2013\|publisher=}}</ref> [[Carlos Mencia]] came on and discussed allegations of his plagiarizing other comics. After the interview, Maron said that "something didn't feel right". He did further research, and interviewed comics Willie Barcena and Steve Trevino, who offered accounts of Mencia stealing material. Maron then contacted Mencia, who immediately returned for a follow-up interview. Mencia admitted that during the initial interview, he "had an agenda", and then went on to discuss the allegations and his reputation in a much less guarded, more forthright manner.<ref>http://castroller.com/podcasts/WtfWithMarc/1652955-Episode%2075%20-%20Carlos%20Mencia</ref><ref>{{cite news\| url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lee-stranahan/marc-maron-enters-mind-of_b_595136.html \| work=[[The Huffington Post]] \| first=Lee \| last=Stranahan \| title=Marc Maron Enters Mind of Carlos Mencia, Then Has Trouble Leaving \| date=2010-05-31}}</ref> * Maron confronted [[Dane Cook]] about accusations of plagiarizing Louis C.K. and about his tension with [[Steve Byrne]].<ref>http://castroller.com/podcasts/WtfWithMarc/1707436-Episode%2085%20-%20Dane%20Cook%20/%20The%20Nicotine%20Diaries</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.laughspin.com/2010/07/01/dane-cook-chats-with-marc-maron-a-study-on-first-impressions-and-the-real-self/\|title=Dane Cook chats with Marc Maron: A study on first impressions and the 'real' self\|publisher=\|accessdate=14 September 2016}}</ref> Line 56: * On an episode released in April 2010, [[Robin Williams]] discussed contemplating [[suicide]].<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tLi1Mc7g30&t=52m12s\|title=YouTube\|publisher=\|accessdate=14 September 2016}}</ref> Maron later reposted the episode following the news of Williams' death, complete with new host segments talking about how much the episode shaped the show and his own personal life.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/remembering_robin_williams\|title=Remembering Robin Williams\|publisher=\|accessdate=14 September 2016}}</ref> * [[President of the United States]] [[Barack Obama]] recorded an interview in June 2015 (recorded Friday 19 June 2015, in the garage). The interview received much media attention due to the President's use of the word "[[nigger]]" while discussing racism in America.<ref>[http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/06/19/marc_maron_interview_what_it_was_like_to_grill_president_obama_and_how_it.html An Interview With Marc Maron About What It Was Like to Grill Obama (and How It Happened in the First Place)], Laura Bennett, Slate, 19 June 2015, accessed 21 June 2015</ref><ref>[http://www.vaguedirection.com/four-takeaways-from-barack-obama-on-the-wtf-podcast-with-marc-maron/ 4 Takeaways from Barack Obama's WTF Podcast with Marc Maron], Vague Direction, 23 June 2015</ref> * Maron interviewed ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' creator [[Lorne Michaels]] in October 2015. The interview was significant because throughout the history of the podcast, Maron would frequently discuss Michaels and his own rejection from being hired for ''SNL'' in the mid-1990s. The two-hour interview was posted in November 2015.<ref>{{cite news\|url=~~http~~https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/10-things-we-learned-from-lorne-michaels-wtf-interview-20151109\|work=[[Rolling Stone]]\|title=10 Things We Learned from Lorne Michaels' WTF Interview\|date=November 9, 2015\|author=Matthew Love\|accessdate=October 11, 2017}}</ref> * [[Saturday Night Live]] cast member [[Pete Davidson]] appeared on the program in September 2017 and revealed his diagnosis and treatment for [[Borderline personality disorder\|Borderline Personality Disorder]].<ref>{{Cite news\|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/snl-star-pete-davidson-reveals-borderline-personality-disorder-diagnosis-1043261\|title='SNL' Star Pete Davidson Reveals Borderline Personality Disorder Diagnosis\|work=The Hollywood Reporter\|access-date=2017-09-27\|language=en}}</ref>
