Will Arnett on SmartLess Podcast Kicking Off Comedian


Rosie O’Donnell Says Jay Leno Is a “Mean A–hole” Amid ‘Biggest Loser’ Documentary

One thing Will Arnett doesn’t find funny? A bad attitude.

The Arrested Development alum detailed his experience dealing with a “very famous comedian” on his SmartLess podcast—which he cohosts with Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes—revealing that the guest appearance didn’t last long.

“We cut him off after 10 minutes and said, ‘Thanks so much,’” Will said on the Jan. 26 episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show, “and then ditched him.”

While the 55-year-old did not disclose the mystery celeb’s identity, he certainly didn’t mince words, describing the anonymous offender as a “f–king rank a–hole,” adding that host Romesh Ranganathan would be “blown away” by the reveal.

Similarly, Will admitted that another guest on his podcast—which launched in 2020—also caused problems behind the scenes.

“We had a guest—a comedian—she asked us to not air her episode,” he recalled. “We were like, ‘F–k, it cost us money, and the guys, we all had to do it.’ She was worried because she thought that she was up-and-coming.”
