Rob Schneider: Here’s What’s Wrong With Our Culture Today
About this episode
“COVID was a really dark time for me and for a lot of people,” said Rob Schneider.
For the famous comedian and actor, the years of the pandemic were a time to take stock of what had become of America, speak up about it—and even write a book. “You Can Do it! Speak Your Mind, America” was published in September 2024.
“If we’re going to continue to have a free society, it’s going to require people to step up and be courageous,” Schneider said.
Schneider, who is also a screenwriter and director, rose to prominence as a cast member and writer of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. He earned three Primetime Emmy Award nominations for his writing on the show.
In this episode, he reflected on our current political and cultural moment.
What really happened when Rob bumped into Robert De Niro at the SNL reunion? What is the role of comedy in an age of outrage? And how do we turn around the tribalism he sees gripping America?
