This is a long podcast, so you're going to have to talk a lot.

Oh, boy.

Hi, everyone, from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

This is On with Kara Swisher, and I'm Kara Swisher.

My guest today is En Helms. He's an actor and

comedian best known for his work as a correspondent on The Daily Show in the early and mid-aughts,

and especially for playing Andy Bernard in the office and Stu in the Hangover Trilogy. You know who

Ed Helms is. But he's also the author of a new book called Snafu,

a definitive guide to history's greatest screw-ups. It's smart, funny, and full of little-known

stories about human arrogance, government overreach, and in some cases, plain old stupidity.

I'm excited to talk to him. I always think he's such a cerebral and interesting comedian

and plays a variety of characters

incredibly well, all of them with a heart, which is what I am always attracted to when I'm talking

to comedians. And of course, I love talking to comedians. At a time when the Trump administration

is trying to sanitize our history, it's good to talk to someone who isn't afraid to get real about

the mistakes that are a big part of who we are as

Americans and as humans. Our expert question comes from Dr. Lindsay Trevinsky, the executive

director of the George Washington Presidential Library. So stick around.

Avoiding your unfinished home projects because you're not sure where to start thumbtack knows homes so you don't have to don't know the difference between matte paint

finish and satin or what that clunking sound from your dryer is with thumbtack you don't have to be

a home pro.

You just have to hire one.
