His directorial effort, 2001's Zoolander was well-received, showing he could be a bankable star both behind the camera as well as in front of it.

He went on to claim that the script by Richard Collins and Paul Jarrico and a song in the movie written by Yip Harburg, were pro-Communist. The show lasted 12 episodes, but is considered by many to be one of the finest (if briefest) sketch comedy vehicles on television. In 1947 Taylor testified before the House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) as a "friendly witness", claiming that he had appeared in the film Song of Russia against his better judgement. He went on to host and perform in a self-titled comedy sketch show on MTV and then The Ben Stiller Show on the Fox Network in 1992. One of his first major films was Camille (1936), in which he played opposite Greta Garbo. In later life, he made many television appearances, notably in the 1959 series, The Detectives starring Robert Taylor. Stiller wrote and appeared on Saturday Night Live as a featured performer in 1990. In his early career, he was known as "the man with the perfect profile".
