In "I Feel Pretty," a film written and directed by Marc Silverstein & Abby Kohn, an ordinary woman (Amy Schumer) who struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy on a daily basis wakes from a fall believing she is suddenly the most beautiful and capable woman on the planet.

After a deadly virus swept the planet in 2020, only one man was left on earth: Tandy Miller. Tandy searched the country in his RV for other survivors, only to return to his hometown of Tucson, realizing that he was almost certainly the last living being on the face of the earth. Slowly, a handful of other survivors found their way to Phil, including his now-wife, Carol Pilbasian, a gratingly optimistic, grammar-loving woman with a goal of repopulating the earth. After Carol, came Melissa Chartres (January Jones), who suffers no fools. Jones drops in to talk about the FOX series, "The Last Man on Earth."

Tim Gunn has teamed up with Command Brand to help instill confidence in people to express themselves at home, translating their personal style from the runway to their hallways – without damaging the walls.

Tim Gunn took the BUILD stage to speak on his partnership with the organization.

"The Brooklyn Gladiator" is the sci-fi lovechild of Orwell, Huxley and stoner conspiracy theories, knitted together by the mad and ingenious mind of Dan Fogler ("Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them," "Moon Lake," "Balls Of Fury"). "Brooklyn Gladiator" is a vivid, violent and frightening glimpse into a fictional future that feels all too familiar, a future we may find ourselves sleepwalking into if we’re not careful. Dan Fogler joined BUILD to discuss his graphic novel "Brooklyn Gladiator" and can be seen next in the highly-anticipated sequel "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald."

Inspired by her own personal journey of making National Geographic’s critically acclaimed, groundbreaking documentary "Gender Revolution," Katie Couric’s new series, "America Inside Out with Katie Couric," follows her as she travels the country to sit down with the people shaping the most pivotal, evolving, contentious and often confusing topics in American culture today. From interviewing founding members at the violent and terror-filled “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville to spending time with young, female Muslim entrepreneurs in Brooklyn, Couric enlists cultural icons and regular folks to help her look past the noise, politics and individual discomfort to understand the complicated truth about the complexities of religion, race, technology and cultural norms, while highlighting the humanity beneath the surface.

Louie Anderson has channeled his beloved mom in his stand-up routine for decades, but she died before seeing him reach his greatest heights, culminating in his breakout TV role as Christine Baskets, the mesmerizing character inspired by his mom, Ora Zella Anderson. His new book, "Hey Mom," is Anderson's way of catching her up on his triumphs, disappointments and continuing challenges. There is heartache, but also great hope. There are also—given Anderson’s inimitable voice—laugh-out-loud stories and observations on life’s absurdities, the kind only he could make.
