Nathan Fielder defended the central claim of the second season of his show "The Rehearsal" after the FAA dismissed his link between plane crashes and pilot communication.

Fielder, who is the star, writer, director, and executive producer of the series, spent two years training to become a licensed commercial pilot type-rated to fly a 737. During the Season 2 finale, Fielder flew an actual 737 filled with 150 actors. (IndieWire has an explainer about just how Fielder was able to pull that off.)
