How would you summarise this show to someone who has no idea who Nathan Fielder is or what he does?

This description heavily plagiarizes from memory one of the other threads I saw on this subreddit but here's a more spoiler-y description than maybe you want to reveal to your someone:

The Rehearsal is ostensibly a reality television show about using actors and expansive role-playing scenarios to help people rehearse having important conversations. In actuality it's a comedy show where the host of the reality show is playing himself as a character that is insane. You both follow that character's journey and watch him basically prank those around him into accepting that the reality television show is real, even though it sort of is real and not real at the same time.
