  • Good guest; bad host

    Given that I have only listened to one episode with ari aster of midsommar which made me really excited to listen to the episode. But to put it simply the host can’t shut up.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Megan Gallagher, Nigel Marchant and Minkie Spiro
Q: Why did you choose to adapt this book for television, and what were the big creative decisions in translating it to screen?
The team explains that the book provided a powerful ending and propulsive momentum that could be expanded into eight hours of television. They discuss making the adaptation more visual, expanding characters not in the book, and carefully pacing revelations to maintain suspense while giving the female relationships and other subplots room to breathe.
Jeff Bergman and Carla Delaney Bergman
Q: What was your most challenging impersonation and why?
The most challenging is often a deeply iconic voice like Barbara Walters where you must capture the unique tonal quality and speech patterns without becoming a caricature, requiring careful study of cadence and mouth movements.
Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest
Q: What was the note from Kevin Feige or Marvel that really stood out?
A note about cutting music to drive an emotional beat dry, which helped the scene land more powerfully without a score, shaping the episode's emotional texture.
Ronny Chieng
Q: How does your season typically go in terms of break and balancing other projects?
The show runs hard with an off-season around August, but there's a culture of juggling multiple projects like stand-up and other TV work; the team's rhythm and many responsibilities make it feasible to stay active across gigs while the Daily Show continues to produce.
James Gray, Anthony Katagas and Rodrigo Teixeira
Q: Have you assembled your next project yet, the three of you?
They acknowledge ongoing discussions with ideas in development but emphasize that they are still early, with plans to share more concrete information as it develops.
