CBS Schedules Fall Preview Special; HBO to Air Comedy Special Based on Podcast
CBS Fall Preview, hosted by stars Candice Bergen (Murphy Brown), Cedric the Entertainer and Max Greenfield (The Neighborhood), Brandon Micheal Hall (God Friended Me), Jay Hernandez (Magnum P.I.), Missy Peregrym and Zeeko Zaki (FBI) and Damon Wayans Jr. and Amber Stevens West (Happy Together), is a primetime special highlighting the Network's six new fall series, including the revival of the groundbreaking comedy series Murphy Brown. It will be broadcast Monday, Sept. 10 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and CBS All Access, CBS' digital subscription video on demand and live-streaming service.
In addition, the special will be available on demand across multiple platforms through mid-October, providing viewers with convenient anytime access to information about the Network's new fall lineup. The platforms featuring the special include https://www.cbs.com/shows/cbs-fall-preview-2018 and participating CBS stations' sites, as well as on demand via the Network's various cable, satellite, vMVPD and telco partners. Throughout the special, the stars will introduce their series with a mix of "first look" behind-the-scenes moments, cast interviews and select scenes from the shows' premiere episodes.
HBO will bring the hit British comedy podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno to the network for a comedy special in 2019. Hosted by Jamie Morton, James Cooper and Alice Levine, the podcast has been downloaded more than 100 million times since its launch in 2015.
My Dad Wrote a Porno features Jamie Morton reading a chapter from the "Belinda Blinked" series of "erotic" novels, written by his real-life father under the nom de plume Rocky Flintstone, with his friends James Cooper and Alice Levine providing uproarious commentary. Hailed as a "global word-of-mouth sensation" by the Hollywood Reporter, the podcast has been described as "addictive and instantly engaging" by Indiewire and "gratuitously mucky and achingly funny" by the Financial Times.
