Jana Schmieding: On Indigenous Joy, Reservation Dogs, and Her Enduring Love of John Candy
This week, Becky welcomes one of her funniest pals: actress, writer, comedian and podcaster Jana Schmieding (Rutherford Falls, Reservation Dogs) for a conversation about her path to Hollywood — from teaching middle school to pay for improv classes to starring opposite Ed Helms in a hit Peacock sitcom. Jana and Becky also dig into why comedy is so often undervalued (and so hard to pull off), the importance of Indigenous joy and its central role in Sage-Based Wisdom, the comedy podcast Jana co-hosts, and why John Candy’s movies remain endlessly inspiring and relevant today.
