Summary

Josh Duhamel makes his Talk Is Jericho debut with stories from his incredible Hollywood career! He’s got details about his brand-new movie, London Calling, what it was like filming in South Africa, and why he thinks it feels like a throwback to the action-comedies of the 80s and 90s. Josh also remembers working with Michael Bay on the Transformers franchise, what Steven Spielberg did behind the scenes to help him land the role, and why the set always smelled like cow poop! He talks about his soap opera days on All My Children (with fellow first-timer Elizabeth Banks), why he thinks Susan Lucci had him written out her storyline, and how that experience was the ultimate acting bootcamp. He shares what pushed him into directing (Buddy Games and the new Preschool), the lessons he’s learned from different directors over the years, and why he still loves going home to North Dakota. Plus, Josh pitches his brilliant idea for a new NHL team! LONDON CALLING will be only in theaters on September 19, 2025. Thanks for supporting our sponsors!
