Comedian Nathan Fielder, fresh off “The⁢ Rehearsal’s”‌ season finale, has revealed‍ a ⁤surprising fact: he spent two years training to⁢ become a licensed pilot. Fielder ⁢appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in full pilot attire to discuss his ‌HBO show and his newfound aviation skills.

During the ⁢interview, Fielder addressed pilot-communication issues explored ‍in “The Rehearsal” and jokingly suggested he wanted to ​fly a Boeing 737 to validate​ his theories. He then ​compared ⁣his hypothetical aviation ‍accomplishments to those of Captain ‌Sully‌ Sullenberger, who famously landed a plane on the ⁤Hudson River.‍ The discussion touched ⁣on the nuances of aviation⁢ history and the ⁣definition of a “miracle” flight.

Fielder quipped that‌ his‌ potential landing ‌would be more notable than the “Miracle on the Hudson” because he would ⁣have landed on land. Kimmel challenged Fielder, referencing Sullenberger, who inspired an episode of “The Rehearsal.”

Fielder defended ‍his right to ‍comment on sullenberger’s achievements, given that he reenacted years of​ the captain’s life for his show. this included, according to Fielder, being “breastfed-waterboarded”⁣ by an actor playing Sullenberger’s mother.

What’s next

it remains to be‌ seen weather Fielder will pursue his pilot ambitions further, but​ his recent revelation has certainly added another layer to his​ already multifaceted persona.⁣ The intersection of comedy, aviation, and social commentary promises further discussion.
