Andrew Rannells Ponders Adulthood in ‘Uncle of the Year’

from The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott

Andrew Rannells, best known for his roles in ‘Girls’ and ‘The Book of Mormon,’ asks a very important question in his new book: when will we ever feel like an adult? In ‘Uncle of the Year,’ Rannells writes about acting, aging, mental health, bad jobs, and much more. Are we all just pretending to be adults? And why are so many of us skipping out on things like marriage and children? Rannells chatted with Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott about this and so much more (including his return to Broadway with Josh Gad in ‘Gutenberg! The Musical!’).  Pick up Andrew Rannells ‘Uncle of the Year’: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/707443/uncle-of-the-year-by-andrew-rannells/ Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
