Eugene Mirman knows what you’re thinking. Last we heard from the “Bob’s Burgers” star a little more than a month ago, he had just been in a terrible car crash that had engulfed his car with flames. It looked pretty gnarly. But yet, here he is on the phone, promoting his new comedy special “Here Comes the Whimsy” — premiering May 5 on YouTube. How is he back on the promo circuit so soon?

“I know, I obviously went through an insane accident,” he told Variety. “For the first few days, people didn’t know it was me! But I am doing really good. I was injured, but not nearly as much as probably the images that were out there in the world potentially made it seem. So I’m doing not bad. I was just at the Lego store for ‘May the Fourth’ with my son, looking at Star Wars Legos. So I’m back in life.”
