Ed Helms has managed to find the amusing parts of impending nuclear Armageddon.
The actor, writer and comedian hosts “Snafu,” a nonfiction comedy series in which he’ll dissect some of history’s most notorious screwups. In the inaugural season of the iHeartPodcast series — set to premiere Oct. 5 on major audio platforms — Helms tells the story of Able Archer 83, the NATO military exercise that may have almost triggered a real nuclear war in November 1983.
