Our Editor's Take

Looking for a new listen that melds the best of an interview podcast with a hilarious comedic edge? Look no further than SmartLess, a podcast hosted by Hollywood fan favorites Jason Bateman (of Ozark and Horrible Bosses), his Arrested Development castmate Will Arnett (also known for his voice acting work on animated hit BoJack Horseman), and Will and Grace's Sean Hayes (who's also made quite the splash on Broadway). The concept is simple: 3 of the biggest voices in comedy team up to interview a celebrity guest each week. The twist? Only one of the hosts actually knows who the guest will be, leaving their co-hosts to quickly gather their thoughts in an effort to guide engaging, insightful conversations.

Totally authentic and nothing short of hilarious, the SmartLess podcast has featured a wild range of mystery guests including Academy Award-winner (and national treasure) Tom Hanks, Gen Z pop sensations Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell, basketball legend Lebron James, and the US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy. With each new episode of SmartLess, you'll meet some of Hollywood's biggest stars, including actors Halle Berry, George Clooney, Ryan Reynolds, and Jennifer Aniston, director J.J. Abrams, and some of comedy's legendary personalities, like Tina Fey, Conan O'Brien, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, and Chelsea Handler.

With an inventive format and a genuine sense of camaraderie between the hosts and their guests, this podcast is perfect for fans of fast, funny, clever conversations between sincerely entertaining individuals. If you ever wonder what it's like to meet a celebrity (like the legendary Paul McCartney) and be forced to immediately recall every question you've ever wanted to ask them, this star-studded interview podcast will make for an extremely satisfying listen.
