The final episode of the year AND the season, and it’s a good one. This week we read Michael Lewis’s 2010 bestseller The Big Short, a book about gambling at the highest of stakes, the unlikely characters who won big, and the losers who let the American people settle their debt. Joining me to discuss The Big Short is Sal Gentile, who writes A Closer Look on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Sal and I discuss comedy, writing, and get political talking about the financial crisis of 2008 and its long, nightmarish aftermath. Presented by InGame.com.
