Hi there, it's Nicole Wallace from MSNBC, the host of Deadline White House. I'm excited to tell you about my new podcast adventure, The Best People with Nicole Wallace. Now, what is The Best People? Well, it's an invitation inside my shortlist of some of the smartest, funniest, wisest, and most creative people I've encountered. Personally, professionally, as a journalist, as a mom, as an American, and sometimes just as a superfan, the best people help me understand what's actually happening in this crazy world. They inspire me, they make me laugh, they tell the truth,

they give the best advice. Now I'm sharing the power of those conversations with all of you. So who are the best people? Well, the best people are some of the most accomplished, influential people out there. From Kara Swisher. Are they the best people? Well, you are. OK, all right.

Jason Bateman. Me and Will and Sean, we do give each other a lot of ****, but there is a deep amount of respect for one another. Rachel Maddow. A friend sent me a meme the other day. It was like a Paddington meme and it was the, the caption was born to dilly dally, forced to fight fascists. Sarah Jessica Parker.

They'll often say, Hey Carrie, you know, they'll call me Carrie and that's all right too. Doc Rivers. But the resiliency that you have to have in life and in sports is what eventually will get you to the top. And Jeff Daniels. What was the most out of body role for you? Dumb and dumber. I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know how to be that dumb.

This podcast is a chance to hear them and see them the way I do. And what you hear just might surprise you. So gather up some of the very best people in your own life and listen to the best people in mind. The Best People with Nicole Wallace. A new original podcast from MSNBC.
