The Rehearsal, a comedy series developed by Nathan Fielder, debuted on HBO in July 2022. In the unique show, Fielder helps people practice traumatic life experiences.

This is mainly done by recreating them using expensive settings and paid actors. By thoroughly reviewing conversations and scenarios, the goal is to get clients ready for a range of possible outcomes.

The series, which focuses on our need to control uncontrollable circumstances, blends humor with a distinctive perspective of human behavior. After receiving positive reviews, it was given a second season renewal, with an April 2025 premiere date. The program is well known for its originality and unexpected comedic twists.

Robbin Stone and Angela both took part in a parenting simulation during The Rehearsal. He discussed his past, which included a serious car accident. Robbin is open about becoming a Christian. He claimed that the show misrepresented him and did not reflect his actual personality when it aired.


More about Robbin from The Rehearsal

In the second episode of Nathan Fielder's bizarre reality-style HBO series, The Rehearsal, Robbin Stone made an impressive showing. Robbin was asked to help a woman named Angela explore what it could be like to raise a child. The show focuses on people rehearsing important life events using detailed simulations.

Robbin is a Portland, Oregon-based mover. On the program, he stood out for being honest, vivacious, and truly spiritual. His highly unique narrative of crashing his Scion tC at 100 mph made him stand out.

This was one of the most talked-about aspects of his performance, and in addition, he discussed his past struggles with substance misuse.

His confidence in God was reinforced when he talked about how his escape from multiple incidents was an indication of divine intervention.

Robbin later voiced his displeasure with his portrayal, even though he became a talking topic among the show's audience. He said that the final edit omitted a large portion of his speech, including his views on religion.

He said that the account of what happened did not fairly represent who he was. The unexpected noise and stress caused by the robot baby, which he expected to behave more like a real infant, also made him feel misled about the parenting simulation, and he left the study early.

In many aspects, Robbin's brief appearance on The Rehearsal sparked questions about how reality TV influences public perception—and if a person can ever be accurately depicted in a single episode.
