Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

My thanks is always for clicking and listening along.

I got a good one for you again this week.

empire, also the man behind the Ted film franchise where his voice was that of the Falmouth

We sat down to talk about his varied career.

He says he likes to do things that scare him.

That's why sometimes it's animation, sometimes it's comedy, sometimes it's his sci-fi show,

the Orville, something he'd been thinking about for a long time, which enters its third

season this fall as Family Guy enters its 18th season.

What we got together to talk about this time was the loudest voice.

It's the new Showtime mini series about the rise and fall of Fox News and particularly

of Roger Ailes, the infamous founder of Fox News.

He was the pit bull.
