In this episode: Why was having his “big break” sitcom bomb a blessing in disguise for Chris Gethard, creator of the beloved Chris Gethard Show  “the most bizarre and often saddest talk show in New York City”? What do comedians and con artists have in common? When your authenticity and approachability make you famous, how do you maintain them? 

On this week’s episode of Think Again – A Big Think Podcast, Chris and host Jason Gots go deep into these topics and more. 

Surprise discussion clips in this episode: Maria Konnikova and Baratunde Thurston
