Josh Fadem & Dicker Troy (Johnny Pemberton as a truck driver/DJ/wiseman with a modulated voice) is one of the funniest things going on in LA right now (you can catch them at the end of the month in LA at The Satellite). 

So, if you’re in SF, Portland, Vancouver or Seattle in February, do not miss a show that’s equal parts whimsy, chaos, tomfoolery, alternate dimensions, slapstick, and jokes.

In our opinion, one of the best and craziest iterations of the late night talk show format is The Jesse Miller Talk Show. 

Imagine some wild dreamer from Cincinnati who seems to be aspiring to be Kenny Powers, but also has a boundless amount of pop culture knowledge and ability to make wordplay hosting a talk show and you’ll get some idea of the fun chaos that is going on with Jesse Miller (Andre Hyland).  

In addition to his crew of his one man shredding house band Darryl and his girl Tanya, guests for this round include Johnny Pemberton and Kate Berlant.

Please get your tickets for The Jesse Miller Talk Show this Friday, Dec. 9th at 10PM at The Hollywood Improv here.

Watch “Son of Zorn” Cast and Creators Explain the Show (and Go Off the Rails Doing So) Before Tonight’s Special Preview

Tonight, the live-action-animation hybrid Son of Zorn will follow a NFL doubleheader on Fox around 8PM and give you a taste of what the clashing of mythical and magical Zephyrian universe and the suburbs of Orange County is like.

Before that, you should really watch the creators and cast of Son of Zorn in a panel discussion of the series for this season. It not only gives a better sense of how the show works, but the panel really got fun, silly, and loose.

Again, the special preview of Son of Zorn is scheduled for 8PM on Fox, with exception to overtime during the NFL doubleheader.

Fox Unveils Trailers for “Son of Zorn”, “Making History”, and “The Mick”

It looks like Phil Lord and Chris Miller are really rubbing off on Fox in the best way possible.

Two of the new comedies that were announced at Fox’s Upfronts presentation have Lord and Miller’s hands involved and those just happen to be two very enticing high concept comedies.

One, Son of Zorn, puts an animated He-Man type, voiced by Jason Sudeikis, into the 9-5 grind in the real world with Johnny Pemberton as a son, Cheryl Hines as an ex-wife, Tim Meadows as the ex-wife’s fiance, and Artemis Pebdani as his boss. Here’s the trailer.

The other involves Adam Pally as someone who has a time machine and has abused it. Thus, he enlists an accomplished history professor played by Yassir Lester to fix something he might have screwed up in the American Revolution. Here’s the trailer for Making History.

Both make Fox’s live action comedy line-up have a certain high concept sheen already laid out by Last Man on Earth and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

To round out the new series, Fox has a show that is basically a Sweet Dee from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia standalone series. See for yourself in the trailer for The Mick starring Sweet Dee herself, Kaitlin Olson.

All in all, Fox has a lot of promise with this trio.

Here’s How Fox’s Live Action-Animated Hybrid “Son of Zorn” Will Look

As Phil Lord and Chris Miller are EP’ing on Son of Zorn, the mesh of live action and animation that the upcoming series is promising more than intrigued us. 

The premise of a fantasy hero character having to scale down his epic life to a “9-5 grind” sounds fascinating, especially with hybrid aspect of the show.

Above, you can start to see how that’s going to work as Jason Sudeikis will voice Zorn and Johnny Pemberton is shown as a normal human being. 

So far, this all works for us.

Fox Orders Live Action Animated Hybrid “Son of Zorn” from Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Reed Agnew, and Eli Jorne to Series

Given Fox’s track record with animated series and Lord and Miller along with Wilfred’s Reed Agnew and Eli Jorne, Son of Zorn has a whole lot going for it.

Jason Sudeikis will be the voice of Zorn in a comedy that follows a legendary warrior reconnecting with his family played by Cheryl Hines and Johnny Pemberton, but also having to settle down to the normal 9 to 5 like so many of the rest of us.

Hopefully, this will deliver on how promising it sounds.

Jason Sudeikis, Cheryl Hines, Tim Meadows, and More Join Johnny Pemberton for “Son of Zorn”

(via Deadline)

The live action/animated hybrid series from Chris Miller and Phil Lord has quite the cast.

It was already exciting hearing about Miller and Lord developing their next high concept comedy at Fox involving an animated “fantasy warrior” dad dealing with home life, especially his son played by Pemberton.

Now, it’s even more exciting to hear that Jason Sudeikis, Cheryl Hines, Tim Meadows, and Artemis Pedbani have all attached themselves to the project, Son of Zorn. 

At this point, we can only hope this gets picked up to series just so we can see what Miller and Lord have cooked up that we’re guessing is somewhere between Clone High and Last Man on Earth.
