Ed Helms with Samantha Bee

Ever hear a story so ridiculous you think, there’s no way that actually happened — only to Google it and realize, Oh wow, we’re all lucky to be alive? That’s basically the premise of SNAFU, the new book from actor, comedian, and history enthusiast Ed Helms. In this episode of 92NY Talks, join Ed Helms and Samantha Bee for an evening of laugh-out-loud storytelling, history you won’t believe actually happened, and the kind of cautionary tales that remind us why reading the instructions is always a good idea. The conversation was recorded on Apr 28, 2025 at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
