'The Rehearsal' reveals challenges of piloting Boeing 737

Nathan Fielder has received his pilot’s licence after two years of pilot training for The Rehearsal.

In the final episode, the Hollywood comedian candidly discussed his takeoff and landing’s experience of Boeing 737.

"When I first began this project, I had decided there was no better way to understand pilots than to become one myself," he said, as per Entertainment Weekly. "But it became clear very quickly that I was not a natural at this. Especially when it came to landing the plane."

In the comedy documentary, Fielder explores the lengths one person will go to reduce the uncertainties in everyday life by rehearsing life’s events.

"I was apparently such an abnormal case that they started passing me around to different instructors in an effort to diagnose what was going on with me," he continued. "No one sees all the nuances of communication in there, how subtle it is, the disconnects."

Referring to his flying journey, The Curse actor explained, “For some reason, they trusted me, I was one of two pilots in the cockpit, and sometimes, when they'd be on a bathroom break, it was just me in there, flying over the Atlantic Ocean for hours until the welcoming sands of Namibia come into view.”

“They only let the smartest and best people fly a plane of this size. And it feels good to know that. No one is allowed in a cockpit if there's something wrong with them. So if you're here, you must be fine,” the 42-year-old actor added before signing off.

Nathan Fielder starrer The Rehearsal season 2 last episode is set to be released on May 26, 2025.
