H. Jon Benjamin on Why We Need to Fail

Midday on WNYC | May 7, 2018

Actor H. Jon Benjamin, the lead voice on “Archer” and “Bob’s Burgers,” discusses his new book Failure is an Option: An Attempted Memoir. He shares the ups and downs of his career in comedy show business. More acceptance of failure, as Jon sees it, will go a long way to making this world a different place… kinder, gentler place, where gardens are overgrown and most people stay home with their pets. A vision of failure, but also a vision of freedom.

This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
