- Join us one week before the premiere of the final season of "The Good Place" for a conversation with the show's creator Michael Schur and actor William Jackson Harper, who plays ethics and moral philosophy professor Chidi Anagonye.
The pair discuss what it means to be a good person with real-life Colby College philosophy professor Lydia Moland.
Come with your own moral dilemma to propose; leave with expert advice on how to be good!

thank you for sharing this, it's amazing watching this after the series finale and seeing what it is called!
So glad to learn that this event was taped and made available! I had heard Mike Schur mention it on one of the Good Place podcasts but he did not say it was available to view. Amazed there have been so few views and comments.
Wow! Do you know which podcast episode it was? And, thanks for watching!
I believe one of the finale ones
This is such a great discussion, much food for thought. Also yeah, looked it up and it was Stanislavski who originally directed The Cherry Orchard.
great conversation and of course TGP is a great show, thank you for sharing!
TGP is by far the best entertainment I’ve ever had since meeting Socrates. Especially in The Apology, where he essentially anticipates the show! So, basically, Socrates pitched The Good Place in 399 *BCE*
Around 27:00 Will talks about enjoying playing a character who’s character really changes, and how that’s the goal/hope as an actor, to get to go on that journey. Interestingly, Ted Danson got famous playing a guy who never really changed…and yet I would argue he found ways to truly imbue that Boston barkeep with nuance and depth and alterations that ultimately forged an indelible path for Sam Malone. I wonder which is a more difficult task/bigger accomplishment: to make a written arc believable, or to express long-term change within your performance alone?
I wish the recording included the clips that were shown and discussed.
the answer to the last question is obvious. Be excellent to each other, & party on dudes!
"WILD STALLIONS!!!"
The penultimate question - what is the artist’s ethical responsibility, if any - is the essence of *BABETTE’S FEAST* - a film that showcases the essence of artistic creativity and how it can affect those around us. It’s one of my all-time favorite films and I’ve read that it’s also a favorite of Pope Francis. He is, I think we can all agree, a top-tier theist, and I’m a lifelong atheist (I’ve been a-theist ever since I was a blastocyst; there was no “I” before Sydney’s sperm fertilized Lyla’s egg). *THE GOOD PLACE* also succeeds, because its creator, writers, actors, and all the others involved (I’m particularly fond of the music) were successful in fulfilling that same function: the artistic embrace described in John Donne’s *MEDITATION XVII:*
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
