The Mark Joseph Show

What happens when you audition for the biggest sitcom on television and accidentally make Jerry Seinfeld laugh so hard he falls off the couch? Actor Joel McCrary joins Mark Joseph for a hilarious and revealing conversation in the Making Seinfeld series about landing his memorable role as the unhelpful mechanic in Seinfeld's classic "The Dealership" episode. McCrary shares the unlikely story of his audition, his experiences working alongside Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Patrick Warburton, and how a simple improvised look while eating a Twix bar became one of the episode's funniest moments. He also recalls Jason Alexander's enthusiastic reaction and how a single appearance on Seinfeld opened doors throughout Hollywood.

Beyond Seinfeld, McCrary reflects on his roles in The Princess Diaries films, Disney's Kickin' It, and other projects, as well as his journey from Mississippi to Hollywood. He and Mark discuss the surprising financial realities of acting, shrinking residual checks in the streaming era, why so many performers are leaving Los Angeles, and the career opportunities he wishes he'd seized. McCrary also shares memories of attending Ronald Reagan's former church and offers advice for aspiring actors navigating a rapidly changing entertainment industry.

Before Jimmy Stewart became the beloved star of It's a Wonderful Life, he was a decorated World War II bomber pilot who risked his life in some of the most dangerous missions of the war. But what happened when he returned to Hollywood? 

On this episode of The Mark Joseph Show, filmmaker Aaron Burns joins Mark to discuss his new film, Jimmy, and reveal the remarkable true story of Stewart's wartime heroism, his struggles with trauma, his deeply held Christian faith, and how his experiences helped shape one of the most cherished movies of all time. Burns also shares how Stewart's daughter, Kelly, helped bring her father's story to the screen, including insights from his personal journal and wartime flight records.

Mark and Aaron also explore the influence of legendary director Frank Capra, Stewart's friendship with Henry Fonda despite their political differences, and the challenges of recreating 1940s Hollywood and World War II for a modern audience. They discuss the casting of KJ Apa as Stewart, the growing divide between film critics and audiences, the importance of hopeful storytelling, and the opportunities and dangers of artificial intelligence in filmmaking.

Aaron Burns’ film, JIMMY, is out in theaters now! Visit https://www.jimmythemovie.com/ for more details.

What was Ronald Reagan really like behind the scenes? And how much of his success was due to Nancy Reagan? On this episode in the Making Reagan series, recorded during the production of the Reagan Movie, Mark sat down with ex-Reagan Library director John Heubusch for a fascinating conversation about the man behind the presidency, the remarkable partnership between Ronald and Nancy Reagan, and the legacy they left behind. Having worked closely with Nancy Reagan and witnessed key moments of the Reagan era firsthand, Heubusch shared personal stories about the former First Lady, Reagan's optimism and ambition, his private struggles, and the qualities that made him one of America's most influential presidents.

Heubusch also took viewers behind the scenes of the Reagan Presidential Library, exploring its extraordinary archives, the historical research that helped inform the making of the Reagan Movie, and the challenges of bringing the president's complicated humanity to the big screen. Heubusch reflected on Reagan's role in ending the Cold War, what the former president might think of today's divided political climate, and his own extraordinary battle with cancer after being given just a 2–3% chance of survival.

Few political strategists have had a front-row seat to American history quite like Dick Morris. After helping Bill Clinton navigate his political comeback and reelection, Morris went on to become an adviser to Donald Trump. In this new conversation on The Mark Joseph Show, Morris shares fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from the Clinton White House, including how he helped write one of Clinton's most famous political declarations. He also explains the striking differences between Clinton and Trump, his falling out with Hillary Clinton, and why he believes Trump has fundamentally transformed the Republican Party.

Looking ahead to 2028, Morris weighs the prospects of JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gavin Newsom, while offering his assessment of the Democratic Party's future. He also reflects on Ronald Reagan's legacy, America's increasingly polarized politics, the influence of Charlie Kirk, and why he remains extraordinarily optimistic about America's future.

Why is antisemitism gaining ground in some Christian circles? What is the Muslim Brotherhood's connection to Hamas? And why has support for Israel become such a divisive issue among American Christians?

On this episode of The Mark Joseph Show, Mark sits down with historian, author, and Middle East scholar Judith Rood for a conversation about Israel, Zionism, the October 7 attacks, and the historical and theological roots of antisemitism. Drawing on decades of research into Palestinian history, the Ottoman Empire, and the Muslim Brotherhood, Rood offers her perspective on the forces shaping today's Middle East. She also shares her personal faith journey, discusses the controversy surrounding Christian Zionism and replacement theology, and explains why she believes Christians must reconsider their relationship with the Jewish people. The conversation also explores Benjamin Netanyahu's policies, the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations, and the themes of Rood's Beauty for Ashes books.

What was it really like working on Seinfeld? In this new episode in the Making Seinfeld series, actress, author, and screenwriting professor Susan Isaacs joins Mark Joseph for a lively, revealing conversation about her memorable appearance in the classic Seinfeld episode "The Hot Tub." Susan takes us behind the scenes of one of television's most beloved sitcoms, sharing her firsthand impressions of Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards. She recalls Larry David's hands-on approach to comedy, the atmosphere on set, and how watching Jerry and Larry work together gave her a newfound appreciation for their genius.

Susan's story goes far beyond Seinfeld as well. She discusses her early Hollywood career, working alongside Michael J. Fox and Bill Murray, her journey from acting to teaching screenwriting at Chapman University, and her candid spiritual memoir, Angry Conversations with God.

Is rock and roll really dead? And can human creativity survive the rise of artificial intelligence? In this new episode, Mark sits down with Liza Lentini, the new Editor-in-Chief of SPIN Magazine, for a wide-ranging conversation about the past, present, and future of music. Lentini shares her journey from award-winning playwright to leading one of America's most influential music publications, explains why she believes rock music is thriving despite predictions of its demise, and reveals why SPIN refuses to feature AI-generated music, writing, or imagery.

Mark and Liza also take a nostalgic trip through the Gen X music scene, recalling the days of discovering new bands through radio, record stores, and legendary rock clubs. From The Clash, New Order, and The Cure to Deftones, Sublime, and the enduring appeal of '80s music, they explore what made that era special and what today's artists can learn from it. Along the way, they discuss the disappearance of musical tastemakers, the challenges facing independent artists, the impact of technology on human connection, and Liza's hopes for a new renaissance in the arts.

What happened to the generation that grew up without smartphones or helicopter parents? On this episode of The Mark Joseph Show, Mark sits down with author and commentator Lisa De Pasquale to discuss her book, The Gen X Handbook for Middle Age, and what makes Generation X so different. From latchkey kids and 1980s nostalgia to changing family values, pop culture, politics, and the challenges of growing older, Mark and Lisa take a funny, candid look at the generation that learned to fend for itself.

Lisa also shares her remarkable personal journey of losing 170 pounds, finding love later in life, rediscovering her faith, and reinventing her career after years in Washington, D.C. Along the way, she and Mark explore how childhood experiences shape us as adults, why Gen X remains skeptical of authority, and what younger generations may have lost in today's digital world.
