We need to get you back in the cultural zeitgeist. In episode 1 of The Charlie Puth Show, Charlie Puth BM '13 is in a meeting with his agents, who pitch the idea of him doing a reality show.

When did it become not enough to be just a musician? he asks. I think it was when Rihanna sold her first billion with the makeup . . . or when Ryan Reynolds became our cell phone provider, they respond. He considers it, but wonders what they would even film.

I know we can't just show me in the studio making music all day, he says. I am so glad you realize how boring that would be, goes the agent, adding a gagging sound.

@charlieputh Prepare for the Puth, the whole Puth, and nothing but the Puth. Stream #TheCharliePuthShow free on @therokuchannel on October 4!

original sound - Charlie Puth -- The trailer shows off the first episode's celebrity guest stars: Puth working out with Will Ferrell, getting reality TV advice over Zoom from the Real Housewives, and creating a jingle for a 65-inch Roku TV with John Legend '20H.

Puth's foray into scripted comedy is quite charming; who doesn't love a celebrity poking fun at themselves?

In 2020, the alum returned to Berklee for a Visiting Artist Series, offering this advice to students: I make my greatest work by not overthinking. He also called his song Girlfriend his single for Berklee, citing the track's musical complexity.

See You Again, the artist's song with Wiz Khalifa, once held the title of most watched video on YouTube. It is now sixth, with Baby Shark Dance topping the chart.

And who can blame Puth for only being zeitgeist-adjacent these days? The crooner got married in September to Brooke Sansone.

The Charlie Puth Show's six 22-minute episodes are now available to stream for free on The Roku Channel.
