Happy People Are Annoying: Josh Peck in Conversation with Brian Koppelman

Mar 16, 2022


Join actor and comedian Josh Peck with filmmaker Brian Koppelman on growing up, the trappings of young stardom, and Peck’s candid new memoir Happy People are Annoying. Telling the story of the years following his rise to fame as a star of Nickelodeon’s hit show Drake and Josh in 2004, Peck’s memoir is a bracing look at life in the spotlight — and the crisis of confidence that Peck suffered when he couldn’t always be the happy kid that he portrayed on TV. Hear him discuss the magic of self-acceptance, how he overcame his troubles and found real happiness in his real life, stories from behind the scenes on Turner and Hooch and How I Met Your Father, and much more.
