Show notes

Jeff Garlin is using his own life to shape the character he plays in the new Netflix mystery movie "Handsome." Garlin is starring as an LA detective who is great at his job, but horrible at life. "I dont find making films or television or doing standup stressful," Garlin told Peter Travers. "I find life can be stressful." Garlin said he hopes movie watchers will enjoy the film because "it's the best thing I've ever done." "Handsome," is just one of many projects keeping the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star busy these days. He's just wrapped a new season of 'Curb' after a five year break. The new shows are coming this fall. He's starring in the hit primetime series, "The Goldbergs," just renewed for a 5th season. And he's hosting a podcast in addition to his standup shows. Garlin talks to Peter Travers about his drive to keep busy and offers a sneak peak at what 'Curb' fans can look forward to later this year. Like what we're doing?
