And then you have rationality and science—that is, a more cerebral approach to the world. How does Anders explore these views...

So why is it so hard to do well? And what does it allow the writer to do that no other voice does?...

Top Story Tonight!Podcast extra: The Non-Trump King Herod backup planThis is a second version of the King Herod scene with a different actor who intentionally did not do a Trump parody.
