Jason Bateman Has the Best Post-Eclipse Joke

Not only did Jason Bateman direct, produce and star in one of Netflix’s biggest hits, but he’s also got mad jokes. 

The Ozark actor phoned in to On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday, August 22, after the solar eclipse and joked that he lost is vision during the historical event. 

“Thank you, but I guarantee it did not live up to expectations,” he told OAWRS after hearing of our obsession with Ozark. “The only time anything has lived up to expectations for me was Hamilton and the eclipse but … I’m now a walking stick and a guide dog.”

Bateman joked: “It was a great last vision for me … I’ve got a great guy that’s going to hook you up with a dog and a stick.”

Bateman, thankfully, was just kidding and still has his vision.
