Summary

As we approach the new year, I want to replay a Best of Mea Culpa episode. On January 7th, 2021—the day after the insurrection—I sat down with the incredible actor Ben Stiller. At the time, Biden was about to take office, but with a new Trump term on the horizon, many of the topics we discussed remain strikingly relevant. We delved into conspiracy theories, the regulation of misinformation on social media, Trump’s divisiveness, and my personal insights from working with him. Of course, having a comedic legend on the podcast, we also touched on lighter topics like Stiller portraying me on SNL, his love for The Beatles, and the art of ad-libbing in films.
