Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always for clicking and listening along. Very excited to bring you my conversation this week with actor Jason Segal. He has been in some of the funniest movies of the last 20 years. He got his big

break with Freaks and Geeks, a short-lived but now cult classic series created by Judd Apatow.

It had Jason Siegel. It had Seth Rogan, James Franco, Busy Phillips, all these young actors

who went on to do great things,

many of them alongside Judd Apatow along the way. For Jason Siegel, that means movies like

Knocked Up, This is 40, and then creating and writing his own film, forgetting Sarah Marshall,

which was a big hit, and of course, famously had full frontal nudity. Stay tuned for a great story from

Jason and our conversation about his mother seeing that scene for the very first time. He's now

starring and has been for this is the second season in the Apple TV Plus series shrinking his co-star

Harrison Ford.

It's a show he created with the guys who did Ted Lasso, including Brett Goldstein,

who was one of the stars, of course, of Ted Lasso.

The series is about therapists, and Jason plays a therapist who is in the middle of a crisis of his own,

and he'll explain all that to you.

Love hearing, too, about the moment when he found out that Harrison Ford was actually going to do the series.

They thought that was a pipe dream when they pitched it to him.

He said, yes, and it's gone on to become one of the best series in all of television.

He was nominated, Jason was, for an Emmy Award last year for his performance

in season one, now out with season two. You know I'm also from The Muppets, and of course,

playing Marshall on the long-running hit CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother, has had a fascinating

life, a fascinating career, and we talk through it all right now.

So just sit back, relax, and enjoy a great conversation with Jason Siegel on the Sunday Sitdown
