Two Mystery Guests at the Bowl, SmartLess Brings Bateman, Hayes and Arnett to Hollywood
Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett bring their podcast SmartLess to the Hollywood Bowl stage on Saturday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m.
A podcast built on three friends talking will get the Hollywood Bowl’s full amphitheater on Saturday. The Bowl lists SmartLess Live with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett on October 17 at 7:30 p.m., with gates at 5:30 p.m.
Two Interviews, No Names Yet
According to the Bowl’s listing, the hosts will improvise their usual conversation in front of the crowd and conduct two interviews with special mystery guests. SiriusXM described the night as a special live taping when it announced the show in April. Neither page names the guests, so they may stay a surprise until the hosts bring them out.
A Second Try
This is the show’s second booking at the Bowl. An earlier SmartLess Live date on November 15, 2025, is marked on the venue’s site as canceled by the event organizer. The Bowl’s listing notes that the podcast launched in July 2020 and recently earned a Golden Globe nomination for best podcast.
The Bowl This Month
October is crowded under the shell, with Cynthia Erivo’s solo night on Thursday, My Chemical Romance’s run in black starting October 21 and Aerosmith arriving at month’s end.
