Podcast #8: We're as Confused as You Are (with Joshua Malina and Walter Eckert)

September 10, 2026

Guests: Joshua Malina (Captain Siebert), Walter Eckert (Art Director)

Joshua Malina joins hosts Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day on the Stuart Fails to Save the Universe Official Podcast to discuss his return as Captain Siebert, after his recurring role on The Big Bang Theory as President Siebert. Malina explains how an online post and a “shameless” message to Bill Prady helped land him the guest spot, and reflects on the different creative experiences of his early and later TBBT appearances and the freedom he found on Stuart. Outside of the Big Bang Theory universe, he also shares the remarkable story of how he once saved Aaron Sorkin’s life. Later, art director Walter Eckert discusses how the crew creates a new universe each week, from reimagining Stuart’s familiar comic book store to building wildly different environments for every episode.
