Just Roll With It Brings Out the Guest Stars; Quibi Announces Comedy Talk Series

Raising the comedy stakes, the second season of the hybrid family sitcom/improvisation series Just Roll With It is set to premiere Sunday, March 15 (8:45 p.m. EDT/PDT), on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW. Comedian J.C. Currais becomes a series regular cast member, in the fan-favorite role of Gator, and John Ratzenberger (Disney/Pixar's Toy Story, Cheers) guest stars in a recurring role as Blair's grandfather. The season also includes "wild" animals, real-life wedding vows with legal matrimony as part of a storyline and feats of epic proportions. The studio audience votes for wacky scenarios that the cast must improvise their way through during the show taping. Additional season two guest stars include Charles Shaughnessy (The Magicians, The Nanny), Johnny Pemberton (Superstore), Jason Earles (Disney's Hannah Montana), Debra Wilson (MADtv), Jillian Shea Spaeder (Disney's Walk the Prank) and Kingston Foster (Disney's ZOMBIES).
Just Roll With It follows the newly blended Bennett-Blatt family as they navigate everyday family life and the ups and downs of adolescence. The series stars Tobie Windham and Suzi Barrett as fun-loving newlyweds and parents, Byron and Rachel; talented young actors Ramon Reed and Kaylin Hayman as preteen step-siblings, Owen and Blair; and J.C. Currais as The Gator.
In the season two premiere, the Bennett-Blatt family is finally rescued from the sea only to discover Rachel's mischievous and somewhat unpredictable dad (Ratzenberger) - who relishes in being a doting but unruly Grandpa - has been kicked out of his retirement community and needs to move in with the family.
Quibi announced it has greenlit comedy series Q Talks, hosted by comedian, James Veitch. Veitch's TED Talk is one of the most watched talks in history. Individual episodes of Q Talks will feature Regina Hall, Lisa Kudrow, Neicy Nash, Jimmy O. Yang and Kristen Schaal. Q Talks is an original comedy format where celebrity speakers give expert talks - on topics they've never heard before, from a script they've never seen before, presented to them via a rigged teleprompter. To make it to the end of their talk, they'll have to say - and do - anything the prompter tells them. Quibi launches April 6, 2020.
