Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jon Stewart plays the network exec who fires Randolph—years before he became America's actual trusted news voice.
The film bombed spectacularly in 2002 but found its audience later as a prescient takedown of children's entertainment commodification and influencer culture.
