Will Arnett Ditches Rude Comedian Guest

Will Arnett has shared a particularly unpleasant guest experience from his SmartLess podcast. During a recent appearance on The Romesh Ranganathan Show, Arnett detailed how he and co-hosts Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes terminated an interview with a comedian after only 10 minutes. Arnett did not reveal the comedian's identity but described them in strong terms as a "f--king rank a--hole."

This was not the only challenging guest interaction Arnett recalled from the podcast, which launched in 2020. He also mentioned a separate incident where a comedian requested that her episode be withheld from release. Arnett expressed frustration over this, noting the cost incurred in producing the episode and the guest's concern about her burgeoning career impacting her willingness to be aired.
