"What Else Is On?" The Real Meaning Behind The Truman Show’s Final Line Explained

As one viewer nonchalantly asks, “What else is on?” the final line of The Truman Show highlights a key message in the movie. The 1998 drama stars Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, a man who’s born and raised in the fictional harbor town of Seahaven, entirely oblivious to the fact that his life is being broadcast as a television show around the world 24/7. When strange things, like a light falling from the sky, or an irate former cast member hijacking the “set” force him to question the nature of his reality, he begins a desperate quest for answers and by the end of The Truman Show, freedom.
