Comedian Jim Gaffigan's New Special, Actor Jude Law and Director Justin Kurzel's New Thriller, Shen Yun's Alleged Abusive Practices, and NPR's Books We Love

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 3, 2024

Comedian Jim Gaffigan joins us to discuss his new comedy special, "The Skinny," and to talk about playing Governor Tim Walz on "Saturday Night Live."

In a new film "The Order," Jude Law plays an FBI agent who tracks down a domestic terrorist gang planning an armed uprising against the U.S. government. Law joins us alongside the film's director Justin Kurzel to discuss. "The Order" opens in theaters this Friday.

Last week, a former dancer from the Shen Yun Performing Arts group filed a lawsuit accusing the group of trafficking in illegal child labor. It's the latest development in a series of investigations, undertaken by the New York Times, into abusive practices by the dance troupe. Times journalists Nicole Hong and Michael Rothfeld, who have been covering the story all year, join us to discuss.

NPR's host of "Book of the Day" Andrew Limbong joins to talk about the 2024 edition of "Books We Love" as well as how the app can be the perfect gift finder for the readers on your list. Plus we take listener calls to recommend their favorites.
