Actor Andrew McCarthy on Rediscovering the Importance of Male Friendship

Season 2026 Episode 8140 | 17m 43s

Actor Andrew McCarthy's new book, "Who Needs Friends," explores male loneliness in America. As a member of the infamous "Brat Pack" of young actors from the 1980s, McCarthy starred in such films as "Pretty in Pink" and "St. Elmo's Fire." Now he's taken a 10,000-mile road trip across 22 states to reconnect with old friends. McCarthy tells us what he learned about human connection the way.
