Jonathan Miller

Studio 360

In the 1960s, Jonathan Miller helped redefine funny as a member of the English comedy revue Beyond the Fringe. Now the comedian and opera director (oh and, by the way, neurologist and sculptor, too) is hosting a BBC series called A Brief History of Disbelief — it airs on PBS this month. Kurt talks with Jonathan about how not believing in God has shaped his storied career.
