Broken, Blacklisted, and Saved by Comedy | Tyler Fischer | EP 550

Actor and comedian Tyler Fischer joins Dr. Jordan B. Peterson to unpack a wild, raw, and brutally honest life story—from drinking at age ten to getting banned from Gutfeld and blacklisted by Hollywood. They dive deep into family trauma, addiction, therapy, racism in casting, and finding success amidst broken systems. Tyler and Jordan reflect on Kill Tony, the uncanny impersonation Joe Rogan forbade, and what it really means to go all in on a dream.

This episode was filmed on May 14th, 2025.
