Hi everybody, it's Nicole Wallace. I'm excited to tell you about my new podcast, The Best People with Nicole Wallace. What is the best people? Well, it's an invitation inside my shortlist of the smartest, funniest, wisest, most creative people I've been blessed to encounter, either personally or professionally, as a journalist, as a mom, sometimes just as a fan.

The best people inspire me. They make me laugh. They tell the truth. They give the best advice.

Now I'm sharing the power of those conversations with all of you. The best people are some of the most accomplished and

accessible people out there. From Jason Bateman to Kara Swisher, Rachel Maddo to Sarah Jessica

Parker, Doc Rivers, and Jeff Daniels. This podcast is a chance for you to hear them and see them

the way I do. And what you hear might surprise you. So follow the

best people with Nicole Wallace. The first two episodes are available right now and new episodes

drop on Mondays. Stay here to listen to a special preview of the first episode with Jason Bateman,

where we talk about how he got into podcasting with his show Smartless,

his latest projects, and his take on the current political mayhem. You can also subscribe

to MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts for early access, ad-free listening, and bonus content.

You know, it's crazy.

And, but, but there's a writer's room somewhere.

Somewhere.

Yeah, and in that writer's room somewhere. Somewhere.

Yeah.

And in that writer's room, they are figuring out these seasonal arcs that are just, they're just gobsmacking.

And somehow they build to these great, you know, cliffhangers too that, you know, are kind of like, well, that's like jumping the shark. But like for instance, you know, remember for a moment there, it was, it was very plausible that he was going to win the election but start serving in prison.

Like that was, that wasn't that would, you would write that maybe.
