Nick Offerman Jinxes Margot’s Got Money Troubles
5/6/202653 min
Nick Offerman is in the house and he’s breaking down everything from his buzzworthy new Apple TV series Margo’s Got Money Troubles to stepping into the ring and training like a pro wrestler! He talks about transforming into Jinx, working in the ring with Chris Jericho, and what it REALLY takes to survive wrestling training (hint: it’s brutal). Nick shares behind-the-scenes stories from set with Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning, and Michelle Pfeiffer, reveals how he prepared for the role physically and mentally, and why this show feels different from anything he’s done before. He also dives into his Emmy-winning performance in HBO’s The Last of Us, the emotional impact of that episode, and how it changed his career. Plus, Nick talks about his life as a master woodworker, how not getting cast led to building a business, and what it’s like being “Mr. Megan Mullally.” Margo’s Got Money Troubles is streaming now on Apple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/show/margos-got-money-troubles/umc.cmc.6wgw0u6vuwydp6obbzzccup3w Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

Before you became a breakout star?
Nick Offerman· Guest0:47
Before I got my big break, I was very happy to be Mr. Megan Mullally.
Chris Jericho· Host0:52
Well, I love the fact too that you actually are, like, a, a, a carpenter with your own woodworking business.
Nick Offerman· Guest0:58
Well, it all has to do with not getting cast. [laughs] I went to theater school, and I just wanted to be an actor, and, um, they f- informed me, "You are years from being ready." And I said, "Well, I can build stuff." [laughs] And they said, "Great." [laughs] "We'll, we'll pay you to build the set, and you can keep p- working on acting." And it took... I was at about my mid-20s when I started finally getting cast.

Nick Offerman· Guest1:27
It is. At, at, at the time, it seemed like forever.
