Jason Segel has had a lot of interesting roles over the years. He got his start on screen in his late teens on the short-lived cult tv show
Freaks and Geeks. From there he starred in a bunch of other comedic roles including:
How I Met Your Mother,
Knocked Up, and
Bad Teacher. His writing debut was
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In 2011, he revived
The Muppets for a new generation. His latest show is kind of a departure from all that. AMC's
Dispatches from Elsewhere follows the lives of a group of regular people who discover a hidden world. It's mysterious and strange – kinda silly, too. We'll talk with Jason about how he works humor into the tone of a show like
Dispatches from Elsewhere. Plus, plenty of chat about
Freak and Geeks, and what makes the Dracula song in
Forgetting Sarah Marshall work.
