Michael Schur in Conversation with Jon Stewart: How to Be Perfect. Recorded Jan 26, 2022 at 92nd Street Y.

Emmy Award-winning creator of The Good Place and co-creator of Parks and Recreation Michael Schur talks with Daily Show legend Jon Stewart on their lives in comedy — and Schur’s new book, How to Be Perfect, a hilarious and brilliant look at how ethics and moral philosophy can make us better people.

Schur and Stewart are no strangers to the big questions: what does it mean to be ethical? Why should we strive to do the right thing in a screwed up world that often rewards doing the wrong thing? Are the Knicks and the Celtics “good” basketball teams? Hear Schur and Stewart cover it all in this funny and timely discussion about comedy, searching for the good life, and everything in between.

  • Jon has to be one of the best interviewers I have seen. His comments and insights add to the discuss, rather than distracting or derailing the discussion.

    How have we been so fortunate to live at the same time as Jon Stewart and Michael Shur? Maybe we don't deserve them, but I am so glad they are here.
  • Please John Stewart, run for President one day. We need smart, thoughtful, charismatic people with good morals to run this country and inspire others like you to make the choice to attempt achieving leadership roles as well. You Sir could be the savior of the country and I truly believe that 🙌 ❤

    I feel like I have done Michael an insult by not knowing he had made my favorite shows. I apologize, and express my deepest love for your work.
