With razor-sharp insight and hundreds of interviews, Morrison reveals the warts-and-all portrait of Michaels: a visionary tastemaker, a shrewd businessman, a relentless perfectionist, and the enigmatic force behind SNL’s star-making machine. From Will Ferrell to Tina Fey, John Mulaney to Chris Rock, the legends who defined the show open up about the comedy god who made it all possible.
Joining Morrison is comedian, writer, and SNL alum Bob Odenkirk, who once called Michaels “some kind of very distant, strange comedy god.” Together, they’ll dive into the obsessive brilliance of a man whose influence reaches far beyond late-night TV — and discuss the star-studded 50th-anniversary special that reminded the world why Saturday Night Live still matters.
Expect stories, revelations, and plenty of laughs in this unmissable conversation about the genius who forever changed the face of comedy.

From classic roles in films like Titanic to her indelible work on television in shows like Mare of Eastown, her acting is versatile as it is magnetic. Lee is the most recent chapter in an iconic career. Based on a true story, and following a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer Lee Miller (Winslet), Lee is a fascinating portrait the woman who captured some of the 20th century’s most indelible images of war — including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler’s private bathtub — in a full-throttle pursuit of truth for which she paid a huge personal price. Following the screening, in a live taping of Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, hear Winslet on her fascinating career and the making of the film — capturing Lee Miller’s haunting story, how she prepares for her roles, stories from the set, and more.Your support helps us continue creating online content for our community.

Ernest Hemingway. F. Scott Fitzgerald. William Faulkner. Jack Kerouac. Ken Kesey. Behind these pillars of 20th century fiction stands Malcolm Cowley — a prototypical “man of letters” who had a seismic influence on what we read. Working behind the scenes for 40 years, from the birth of the Lost Generation through the counterculture of the 1960s, Cowley is not a household name — he is an unacknowledged legislator of the American literary canon. The Insider is a story of an art form, an industry, and a country experiencing wrenching change, and the people who made a home in the storm.
As editor of Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, David Foster Wallace, Hanya Yanagihara, and Bill Bryson, Gerald Howard has himself worked with some of the major writers of his generation — hear him and Parini discuss how Cowley laid the foundation for that work, a gift to booklovers and a major contribution to the cultural history of this country.

Benoit Blanc is back. Returning for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery opus, Wake Up Dead Man follows Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) as he investigates a seemingly impossible murder in a small church town where all is not well in the pews. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast — Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Thomas Haden Church, and more — Wake Up Dead Man is a devilishly fun mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Hear Johnson discuss the making of the film — directing this all-star cast, stories from the set, what’s next in the Knives Out universe, and more.

Ryan Holiday, one of the world’s bestselling living philosophers, believes that the answer lies in a virtue that feels almost endangered: wisdom. He’s not talking about a quick dose of inspiration or a clever hack; wisdom, he says, is hard and sometimes uncomfortable work. But it’s the virtue on which all the others — courage, discipline, justice — depend.
In Wisdom Takes Work, the final book in his Stoic Virtues series, Holiday draws on the lives of thinkers, leaders, and artists from Seneca to Lincoln to Joan Didion to show what it means to listen more than talk, question our own beliefs as rigorously as we question others’ and keep learning for a lifetime. In conversation with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, he’ll explore why these practices matter even more now, when attention spans are eroding, and the habits of sustained effort are slipping away.
Holiday’s appeal reaches far beyond philosophy buffs — his millions of readers and listeners include CEOs, athletes, military leaders, students, and anyone hungry for practical, timeless tools to think more clearly and live more fully. With stories that span centuries and insights you can apply today, he’ll make the case for slowing down, going deeper, and resisting the shortcuts that cheat us of real understanding.
Join us for an evening that promises not just ideas, but the kind of conversation that can change how you see the world, and how you move through it.

Good Fortune is a hilarious, heaven-sent comedy that follows a wealthy tech bro (Seth Rogen) and a struggling gig-worker (Ansari) after their lives are magically switched through the intercession of a “budget guardian angel” (played with deadpan brilliance by Keanu Reeves). It’s more than a directorial debut film for Ansari — it further cements him as one of funniest, most exciting comedic voices of his generation.
Following a special advance screening, hear Ansari discuss the film — and his remarkable career — in a live taping of Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast: how his friendship with Rogen fueled the movie, the comedy classics that inspired it, working with Keanu Reeves, Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh, stories from the set, and more.

All the Empty Rooms is a 33-minute documentary from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Joshua Seftel (Stranger at the Gate). The film follows CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp on a seven-year journey visiting families who have lost a child, photographing each child’s room as it was on their last day. These “sacred spaces frozen in time” form an intimate portrait of grief, love, and the enduring need for empathy.

It’s the sentence that defines who we are as Americans: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Ahead of America’s 250th anniversary, Isaacson takes readers on a fascinating deep dive into the creation of one of our nation’s most definitive pieces of language. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson and edited by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, this line lays the foundation for the American Dream and defines the common ground we share as a nation —it continues to shape our politics today. And the tangled story of how it was written has much to teach us about who we might have been, who we are, and who we could be as a nation.
In a conversation unpacking the genius of this sentence word by word, hear Isaacson discuss the radical concepts behind the American Revolution, the enduring promise of America, and how it might help restore our appreciation for our common values.

Picture books are a vibrant and sophisticated — yet underestimated — art form. Barnett and Garner will show us how these books work and what sets them apart from other ways of telling stories, challenging adults to reconsider their ideas about storytelling, reading and childhood.
This eye-opening, entertaining case for the picture book’s rightful place among our best literary art forms is a declaration: a deeper respect for picture books requires a deeper respect for children.
Join Barnett and Garner for this grown-up conversation about kids’ books.

Before becoming a media mogul, Tom Freston was a risk-taking, rule-defying globe-trotter, hitchhiking around the world, running a clothing export company out of India and Afghanistan. And in his new memoir, Unplugged, he takes us behind the scenes and shares his decidedly non-traditional path to the C-suite — from bartending his way across the US and the Caribbean to a trek across the Sahara Desert to launching a fashion company in India before joining the small group that launched MTV — climbing the ladder at Viacom to oversee Nickelodeon, VH1, CMT, and Comedy Central, where he met a talented young comedian named Jon Stewart.
In a funny, candid conversation, hear him and Stewart as they discuss his remarkable and non-traditional career — following his gut to craft a life around music and travel, emerging as a major cultural influencer in the world of television, stories from the set, and more.

Jeffrey Selingo has spent years pulling back the curtain on how the admissions process really works. Now, in Dream School: Finding the College That’s Right for You, he turns from the secrets of how colleges make their choices to an equally important question: how do you find the school that’s just right for you?
In an era of record-low admission rates and soaring prices, Selingo helps parents and students widen their lens beyond the narrow band of elite schools. Drawing on fresh data, a survey of more than 3,000 families, and insights on high-quality, affordable institutions, he shows what actually matters: strong career outcomes, meaningful learning opportunities, and a sense of belonging.
Don’t miss this clear-eyed and practical conversation about finding colleges that combine value, access, and excellence, helping families move past the myth of academic prestige and toward the right fit — a lifeline for every student and family.

Seamus Heaney was a definitive poet of our time. “By turns mythological and journalistic” (Helen Vendler, The New Yorker), Heaney blended the ancient and the contemporary, the bleak and the bright, the quotidian and the revelatory, with peerless skill — picking up the torch of modern Irish poetry from W.B. Yeats and carrying it into the 21st century. Published in a single volume for the first time, his collected poems are a testament to his unforgettable voice, and to the breadth and beauty of the Nobel laureate's long and brilliant career, from his first book, Death of a Naturalist (1966), to poems written for Human Chain (2010), his final collection.
In this reading and celebration spanning the entirety of his career, hear a group of Heaney’s friends and admirers, themselves some of the finest poets of our time — including surprise guests — as they pay tribute to his seismic influence on a generation of poets that follow in his wake, and the world-making beauty of his verse.

Rather than worrying about critics or star ratings, Cena said, he focuses entirely on whether the full audience had a great experience. Critics and rankings have value he says, especially for wrestlers trying to get equity or a foothold, but he explained even a “zero-star match” doesn’t matter to them if he left the crowd entertained.

Set against the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, Fraser plays Phillip Vandarpleug, an American actor adrift until he lands an extraordinary gig: working for a “rental family” agency that employs stand-in relatives to step into strangers’ lives.
The film follows Phillip as he plays roles — husband, father, friend — to clients wrestling with loneliness, obligation, and the theater of social expectation. As performances deepen into genuine relationships, the boundary between artifice and authenticity begins to dissolve.
After the screening, join us for a live onstage conversation between Brendan Fraser and Happy Sad Confused’s Josh Horowitz. They’ll peel back the curtain on everything from Fraser’s decision to learn Japanese for the role (“I’m an excellent mimic,” he admitted during the TIFF premiere), to the film’s inspirations, cultural themes, the moral paradoxes of surrogate intimacy, and director Hikari’s vision for negotiating cross-cultural storytelling.
Don’t miss the chance to see Rental Family before its national release, and to hear from Fraser himself on what it means to play family, to belong, and to perform the spaces between. This event will be a live taping of the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

But before the Grammys, the Oscar, and the global hits, there was the night. As Ronson launches his new memoir, Night People: How to Be a DJ in ’90s NYC, he comes to our stage for an intimate look back at the decade that made him: spinning records in downtown clubs, crate-digging for beats, stalking DJ Stretch Armstrong, and finding his tribe among the wild and wonderful characters of a city that came alive after dark. The book is a love letter to a vanished era that defined not only Ronson’s career, but his identity. Join us as he takes us deeper into this time — the stories that couldn’t fit on the page, the music, the risks and revelations of life behind the turntables — and reflects on how those nights set the stage for his path as one of music’s most influential producers.

With unparalleled access to sources inside both the Trump and Biden administrations, they pull back the curtain on the Department of Justice — an institution meant to be above politics, yet shaken to its core by fear, dysfunction, and partisan warfare.
Leonnig and Davis take us inside the DOJ during and after Trump’s presidency: how it was weaponized against political enemies, how long-serving employees were driven out, and how the department faltered in responding to the January 6 insurrection. They’ll also examine the cautious approach of Attorney General Merrick Garland, whose reluctance to act decisively allowed critical investigations to languish — missteps with lasting consequences for the rule of law.
This is a rare chance to hear two of the country’s most respected investigative journalists discuss what they uncovered, what it means for American democracy today, and why the stakes in 2025 could not be higher.

Tony Award winner J. Harrison Ghee (Some Like It Hot, Kinky Boots), powerhouse performer Mandy Gonzalez (Hamilton, In the Heights), multiple Tony Award winner Celia Keenan-Bolger (To Kill A Mockingbird, and currently seen in The Gilded Age), and beloved Tony-nominated stage and screen star Jim Parsons (Our Town, The Big Bang Theory) come together for an intimate matinee of stories, songs, memories, and revelations.
Moderated by New 42 President & CEO Russell Granet, this one-of-a-kind conversation peels back the curtain on the moments that ignited their love of theater, the mentors and communities that shaped their artistry, and the ways they’re inspiring the next generation.
Recipient of a 2025 Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, New 42 is the cultural nonprofit that’s brought extraordinary performing arts to millions of New Yorkers for 35 years. Founded in 1990 to revitalize 42nd Street’s historic theaters, it makes the performing arts accessible to all — through the New Victory Theater’s world-expanding performances for young audiences, New 42 Studios’ incubation of Broadway hits from Hamilton to The Book of Mormon to The Producers, and mentorship programs that build creative careers.
Now, in this celebratory matinee, you’ll experience Broadway not in character, but in person — unfiltered, unscripted, and unforgettable. This is Broadway storytelling at its most personal. Don’t miss it.

What do schoolteachers, drug dealers, real estate agents, and sumo wrestlers have in common? Is there a correlation between gun violence and swimming pools? How did an economist and a journalist upend conventional wisdom about just about everyone and everything? Twenty years after Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt published Freakonomics — their runaway bestseller about reading human behavior through the lens of economics — it remains an endlessly fresh, fun, insightful, and sometimes freaky lens on contemporary life.
Why does tipping still exist? Do sports play into global politics? How does a country’s birth rate affect its culture? Find out as Dubner and Mishkin take on the endlessly fascinating questions that Freakonomics continues to raise about who we are, what we do, and where we’re going next.

Clyburn made history as the first Black congressman from South Carolina since 1897 and went on to serve as Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus and House Majority Whip. His endorsement of Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 South Carolina primary is widely credited with reshaping the Democratic race, and in 2024, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his decades of leadership and his steadfast defense of democracy and truth.
In The First Eight, Clyburn brings to life the stories of South Carolina’s first eight Black congressmen — visionary leaders who rose in the aftermath of the Civil War before the onset of Jim Crow. Their legacy, he writes, connects directly to the present.
Due to air transportation disruptions, we regret that Sharon McMahon will no longer be able to join this conversation. We are pleased to announce that Congressman Tim Kennedy will join Congressman Clyburn in her place.

In other words: the muse has gone pop.
This conversation brings together four acclaimed biographers: Laurence Leamer (Warhol’s Muses), Marisa Meltzer (It Girl), and Sunita Kumar Nair (Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion), along with critic Rachel Tashjian, to interrogate how the figure of the muse keeps reinventing itself. Are muses creators in their own right, or projections of someone else’s genius? Is the “It Girl” a cultural lightning rod, a lifestyle brand, or a mirror held up to society’s obsessions?
From Warhol’s downtown scene, to Goop’s glossy empire, to Birkin’s radical style and Bessette’s beguiling minimalism, Leamer, Meltzer, Kumar Nair, and Tashjian trace the muse’s evolution from myth to meme — asking what it means to be an inspiration in an age when celebrity is itself the canvas.
