My guest this week is Jason Segel.
In his new show Shrink– co-created with Teddy Lasso‘s Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein – Segel plays Jimmy, a grieving therapist on the verge of a breakdown.
One day, Jimmy breaks down and decides to tell his patients what he really thinks of them. His fellow therapists Paul and Gabby, played by Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams, are skeptical of his new methods, but Jimmy may be on to something. The show also stars Christa Miller as Jimmy’s neighbor Liz, Luke Tennie as his client Sean, and Michael Urie as Brian’s best friend.
Here we talk about Segel’s pursuit of happiness and peace of mind, and why success at a young age prompted him to look elsewhere for meaning in life. We also get an early awkward confrontation with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as Harrison approached Ford Shrink with the humility and cooperation reminiscent of his early career as a carpenter, and why The Muppets always comes out on top with the proudest work achievements by Segel.
