The World According to Jeff Goldblum
Why not let Jeff tell you about his documentary series himself? He said: "The premise of the show is, because it’s the world according to Jeff Goldblum, it’s me with all the information and experience that my life has entailed up til this point now plopping me I go the world of and exploration of one thing or another. It’s not as if I do some extra homework/research/bone up on it so that I tend to know something about it and then tell you about it. No, it’s not like that." In the show, Jeremy looks at different things that interest in, and speaks to experts on the subject to learn more.
