Will Arnett on Flaked and fighting your own inner demons

Arnett joins Shad to talk about Flaked — a show he created and stars in - and finding the funny in serious subject matter.

Toronto-born actor Will Arnett is best known for his manic performances in shows like Arrested Development of 30 Rock.

But his new show, Flaked, is offering up a darker kind of comedy. His character Chip is the go-to guy for life advice in Venice, Calif. He's been sober a decade, rides his bike everywhere, and makes a living as an artisan furniture maker.

Of course, it's only good TV when there's a twist. Everything isn't as it seems with Chip, and Flaked follows him as he finds it increasingly difficult to keep up with his own lies.
