The fact that Jason Bateman and Will Arnett are a comedic duo is no new news, add Sean Hayes to the mix, and you get an incredibly authentic and hilarious podcast called Smartless. Unlike many other unexpected things, Smartless turned out to be one of the greatest podcasts of all time.

And it’s not just our word but Apple named it one of the Best Shows of 2020. According to Bateman, who gets his chance to play the host of the show once in three weeks, he thought it was a very dumb idea for the three of them to have a podcast. But to his surprise, not only did the podcast do well but even bagged itself two documentary-style specials on Discovery+.
