Hello, Snap Universe. It is I, Ed Helms, your ever-dutiful captain, steering this ship straight into the iceberg of history's biggest screw-ups.

And this week, we're going live, baby. Well, sort of. I mean, you're not going to be listening to something that's happening live, but it is a recording of a thing that was live.

You know what I mean.

All right.

So during my book tour for Snafu, the definitive guide to history's greatest screw-ups, I had the absolute pleasure of stopping by the legendary 92nd Street Y in New York City,

where I got to sit down with a dear old friend who also happens to be an Emmy-winning comedian,

producer, writer, and professional destroyer of pomposity.

I am talking about none other than the great Samantha B. Sam and I go all the way back to our daily show days, which feels like roughly 400 years ago in political time. So it was really a joy to just hang out and reminisce about the salad days and also dig into some juicy

stuff, you know, like the decades of epic screw-ups I write about in the book, how the book

actually came together, and even some reflections on how the screw-ups in the book might

inform how we navigate the present moment. And doing all of this live on stage in front of a

fired up New York crowd, it just gave the whole night a kind of electric buzz. And it was just an

absolute treat. So stick around for my conversation with Sam B. And hey, if you're in the

market for a gift that's equal parts

history lesson, comedy show, and stocking stuffer, look no further than my book.

Snafu, the definitive guide to history's greatest screw-ups. It's available at snafu-dashbook.com

or wherever fine books are sold. The audiobook, narrated by yours truly,

is also out now. Think of that as kind of cozy little earmuffs for your brain, only instead of

warmth, they're packed with shocking blunders and questionable decision-making. Okay, that's it.

Now, please enjoy my chat with the brilliant Samantha B.
