About this episode

Rob Schneider joins Dr. Phil to explore the psychology of comedy and the importance of speaking up in a polarized culture.

Comedian and SNL alum Rob Schneider joins Dr. Phil for a deep dive into the psychology of comedy, why the brain needs incongruity, why “offense” spreads socially, and why people self-censor even when they know better. They discuss Schneider’s book “You Can Do It! Speak Your Mind, America”, the cognitive mechanics of humor, and how to speak up with clarity and dignity in a polarized culture. Plus: what comedians can teach all of us about resilience, fearlessness, and reading the room, without living under the room.
