The world needs a Bateman, Arnett, and Hayes sitcom. Smartless is legitimately super funny. No joke, no BS. The 3 of those guys together are comedy gold.

[@nicolewalsh6656]

I just discovered it a few weeks ago and have listened to almost every episode lol so good

[@pattyc.303]

That would be HEAVENLY!! I'm addicted to that podcast.

[@janetharned4343]

Actually, it took, Everyone, in this series to make this great, incredible show, not just the main characters!

I absolutely LOVE Jason Bateman!! He is absolutely hilarious and I love his dark sense of humour. I listen to Smartless religiously over and over again and I Love how he fans out sometimes on the guests just like the rest of us.

He is my celebrity crush 🤍🤍🤍

[@dorotalendzion1074]

I will miss Ozark so much❤️It is one of the best shows on Netflix! Sharp, well written, coherent, fantastic actors! I can't wait to see how they gonna end it.

[@aliviafunchion8529]

It just feels like a conversation. Not an interview. Love this 💜

[@kxcook]

Definitely check out Smartless. We binged it while on a 10 hour drive (20 hours total) and laughed so much. I love, love Jason Bateman.

[@immortalasirpa8199]

Jason Bateman is one of those people who get hotter as they get older. Keep that long hair baby.

[@sherylsmallwood-valdivia5375]

He is so fine. When the first season of Ozark came out, I was like "...who is this?!".

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

He gives all the credit to his wife Amanda for his glow up.

[@Sunny.27]

Since Jason Bateman is done with Ozark, now is the good time to remind him to make Horrible Bosses 3. The world needs to see Jason Bateman, Jason Sudekis and Charlie Day together again.

[@JayT-1000]

I agree. Except they have to add Arnett and Hayes to the cast this time around. That would be gold!

[@jonathanlockett5358]

Arrested Development

[@Locadel2003]

But the second movie was actually not very successful and not very funny at all. The first one was hilarious and great but the second not so much

[@dorotalendzion1074]

I feel the same. He never ages.

[@encourageandrepeat8375]

That's funny! I just spent the whole interview trying to get my head around how much he's aged and trying to match him up to the younger man of yesteryear. I think it's the hair.

Jason Bateman is aging backwards like Paul Rudd 💕🤗

[@sterling8298]

The Ozark's TV show is so damn good I couldn't get enough of it. Jason Bateman is amazing in that show. I think he was at the top of his acting career. I should think Julia Garner was amazing a net show too. As we're all the other actors in that show. That show will probably go down in history as my all time favorite show that ever existed. Right behind Seinfeld The TV show.

[@dorotalendzion1074]

Hi Chelsea Rivers! Go away, you little trolling creature.

[@anro7137]

5:41 - felt that too for a split second Jimmy. Like wait, what, huh, oh yeah…. Lol!

[@marinapico1111]

Excited for the new season. I was also wondering what Jason thought of your impression of him. Then voila you made it happen. 🥰

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I need to rewatch Game Night. Loved him in that movie. I've been listening to SmartLess whenever they put it on KZbin. Those three have great chemistry! I didn't realize that he's a lefty-righty combo. My daughter is like that too. She writes righty, eats lefty, throws a ball lefty. My son is just lefty and spouse and I are both just righty.

[@valeriewalker1592]

Totally love Bateman love anything he is in from Ozarks to Game Night he can do no wrong.

[@angeliquevanwinkle6234]

I'm the same, write with my left hand and throw with my right. School sports was so messed up because they couldn't teach me look left-handed ! 😊

[@melf8609]

Same!

[@thomasinastevens1234]

Me too!

[@thisjustin5043]

I’m the same way, too! 😄 I write left handed but every other thing is a crapshoot whether it’s gonna be left or right handed. Baseball is righty, basketball is righty, pool is truly ambidextrous, archery is lefty, etc etc etc. I never know which way it’ll go until I’m trying the sport for the first time and see what feels right.

@TheTonightShow …. I think Bateman, Arnett and Hayes have spent time wisely the last two years and honed (as if such thing was possible!) their comedy chops during Covid with their weekly “Smartless” Podcast. Bateman’s definitely fresh & ON his game tonight. Love ya baby.

[@taniaphillips3124]

The episodes Jason Bateman directed are the absolute best. I usually have all the words, but I don't have enough words to describe the depth of my admiration for his directorial skill.

[@TheDogHollerer]

I am a huge Smartless fan. I can't get over how quick the brains of all.great comedians are. Also, unless it's an act, I think Jason Bateman may just as well be the nicest / kindest actor in the history of Hollywood. Hope he's as nice in person as he comes off on his Show and talk shows.

[@lionking0110]

Aww man! Stephen got covid? :( Get well soon Stephen.

[@licialee283]

I’m the same way I wrote left handed, eat left handed, throw and kick with my right side and in dance I did a lot of things better on my right side too. It’s so weird to switch off often but it’s fun trying to figure out what’s my stronger side when I try something new.

I’m a leftie and love spotting lefties and known for years Jason Bateman is a leftie! I made a list on IMDB. I did notice he does some things right handed. I’m the only one in my family. My bf is a leftie but he does sport right handed. I have my own set of left handed golf clubs as I play sport left handed and played a bit of golf when I was younger and it’s spordaic now as an adult, but I still enjoy to play when I can. I love leftie talk. Wearing watch though, is usually telltale sign BUT not necassarily, as some wear watch on there writing hand.
