A man walks into a bar to tell some jokes about his life falling apart during an open-mic set – and that man is Will Arnett. This week, the star of Is This Thing On? sits down with Rolling Stone Senior Editor and Critic David Fear to talk about playing a man in existential crisis who finds renewal through stand-up comedy – and how making the film ultimately led to his own personal growth. They also dig into the agony and ecstasy of doing real club gigs in character, the unexpected success of his hit podcast SmartLess, the Arrested Development lines fans still quote back at him, and so much more.
