Steve Buscemi! The best ever. Steve joins us to talk about the latest season of his hit TBS show Miracle Workers, now in its second season. The anthology series steps back into the Dark Ages for season 2 with Steve playing a peasant with a name we can’t say on NPR. Let’s just say he’s a guy named after his occupation and he makes his living shoveling the kind of stuff that usually rolls down hill. The show is created by Simon Rich and co stars Daniel Radcliffe with guests appearances by Peter Serafinowicz and Chris Parnell. Steve chats with us about what it’s like to play a “Sweatpants god,” dying on screen dozens of times, and how his father shaped his career in the civil services as well as acting. Plus, he’ll talk to us about trying his hand at stand-up as an eighteen year old kid from Long Island.
