Taylor Tomlinson to Co-Host Fox’s Aftershow Parody “What Just Happened??!” with Fred Savage and Best Coast as a House Band

To take the aftershow craze down a few notches, Fox is ordering a series that is a parody of said aftershows (i.e. Talking Dead, Thronecast) by doing an aftershow of a fictional sci-fi show that’ll be hosted by Fred Savage and comedian Taylor Tomlinson.

They’ll even get a house band in the form of chill rock band Best Coast, which is a surprising upgrade from a real aftershow.

We like the boldness of this project and are so curious to see how it’ll fare as well as how Savage and Tomlinson will play off of each other. No matter how it goes, round of applause to Fox for taking a chance on something so meta.

Renewals don’t come so easily at Netflix these days, so Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco’s Friends From College did pretty well for itself.

The series had plenty of different nuanced and complex relationships woven between “friend from college” that one has to wonder where exactly they’ll go with a second season. Maybe if this’ll end up being a more grounded Wet Hot American Summer where the cast actually plays roles that are more age appropriate and return a few years older.

We’ll just have to wait and see.
