How Nathan Fielder Pulled Off His Best Stunt Yet in The Rehearsal Season 2 Finale

BBG News

In the second season of The Rehearsal, as well as throughout his entire professional journey, Nathan Fielder has consistently demonstrated that he’s full of surprises with a hidden arsenal of tricks. Consequently, it isn’t shocking that the finale of his acclaimed HBO show on Sunday night showcases what could be his longest and most intricate comedy scam to date. However, despite this, it remains hard to fathom how he successfully executed this particular stunt.

In the initial five episodes of Season 2, the show developed an argument around Fielder’s theory that numerous plane crashes were due to co-pilots finding it hard to voice concerns to their captains when they suspected something was wrong. The finale then took us back two years ago, revealing that Fielder had diligently worked towards his commercial pilot license so he could actually fly a real Boeing 737 with passengers. Yet, before he could do this, he needed to master the art of flying – a skillset that proved challenging for him.

Initially, as I embarked on this venture, I believed the most effective method to grasp pilots’ insights would be by transforming into one myself, he clarified, while footage of his flying lessons played. However, it wasn’t long before it was evident that this wasn’t my forte, particularly when it came to skillfully landing the aircraft.

Despite being informed that most students typically master landings and can fly independently after roughly 10-30 hours of flying, Fielder hadn’t yet convinced his instructors he was capable after logging over 120 hours in the air. During a training session above an airport, when he witnessed another student pilot and their instructor crash fatally, Fielder decided to take a month off for home practice as an undaunted pilot. After this break, something shifted, and he was granted permission to fly solo. However, obstacles continued to hinder his progress in achieving his goal.

As a movie enthusiast, I found myself captivated by the audacious tale of Fielder, a man who aspired to soar through the skies in the cockpit of a commercial airliner. However, with just 270-280 hours of flying experience under his belt after two years – far short of the daunting 1,500 hours required for consideration – he faced an insurmountable challenge.

In a daring bid to circumvent the system’s rigid constraints, Fielder devised a cunning plan. He set his sights on completing a FAA-approved 737 training course and securing his very own secondary-market passenger plane, generously funded by HBO. But that was only the beginning.

To evade regulations governing paid passengers, he needed to rally nearly 150 actors to play the role of passengers on his flight. The stage was set for a high-stakes adventure, where reality blurred with fiction and the line between dream and possibility became tantalizingly thin.

As a dedicated cinema-goer, I’d rephrase it like this: On that fateful day, despite being the greenest 737 pilot licensed in North America, Fielder readied himself for takeoff. To ensure a smooth flight, he enlisted Aaron, a pilot he met during his “Wings of Voice” competition, as my co-pilot. Our mission was straightforward: depart from San Bernardino airport, head east to the Nevada border, then loop back to our starting point.

He’s trying to show that it’s challenging for any pilot to express their thoughts in a cockpit setting, and he believes there are potentially hazardous situations on every airline flight due to this problem. However, he emphasized that during this specific flight, safety is paramount, so if he notices his co-pilot thinking something but not speaking up about it, he will address it immediately to ensure open communication. And nothing will be left unsaid between them.

In summary, during the flight, there were no significant events happening inside the cockpit. However, upon disembarking to enthusiastic applause and cheers from his fellow actor-passengers, Fielder realized that since the goings-on in the cockpit are not visible to others, as long as you ensure a safe landing for everyone, it’s enough to be hailed as their hero.

In every performance, Fielder is renowned for fully immersing himself in the act, which often pushes the boundaries of reality to extreme levels. However, this time, the risks were unprecedentedly high. Yet, he didn’t slow down; instead, we discovered towards the end that aside from his main work, Fielder has taken up a side job moving unused 737 airplanes globally for a relocation company.

It seems that despite being a comedian, Fielder does possess the ability to be regarded seriously, perhaps due to his dedication to practice. As he mentioned earlier in the show, “I’ve always felt that if you practice diligently enough, there won’t be anything left to chance.
