Rob Schneider: What A-List Stars Tell Me When Nobody’s Listening

Hollywood legend Rob Schneider (SNL, Deuce Bigalow, Grown Ups) joins Andrew Gold in the desert.

in this deep dive, Rob reveals why he’s choosing to stay in "Siberia" rather than conform to the new authoritarianism of the film world.

From secret phone calls with A-list stars who are too afraid to speak out, to his famous (and surprisingly touching) confrontation with Robert De Niro, Rob pulls back the curtain on the "blacklisting" happening behind the scenes. We explore the "politics of envy," why critics have always had it out for him, and the emotional toll of being "canceled" by his own family.

This isn't just about movies—it's a conversation about the collapse of Western institutions, the rise of "suicidal empathy," and why Rob believes that "silly is king" in a world that has lost its sense of humor.

Whether you’re a fan of classic SNL comedy or you’re here for the "heretical" truth-telling, this interview is a must-watch.
