Sarah Silverman Hosting David Letterman Produced TBS Series; More Stars Joining And Just Like That...
TBS invites you to grab your four-legged BFFs and take a walk down memory lane to revisit one of late-night's most iconic segments on The Late Show with David Letterman, Stupid Pet Tricks, which has been greenlit as a ten-episode, half-hour series for the network. Host Sarah Silverman (I Love You America, The Sarah Silverman Podcast), a fierce lover of funny animals and their equally funny humans, brings this classic segment into a fresh, comedy variety show filled with big laughs, extraordinary animals, and of course the most Stupid Pet Tricks out there. Production will begin in Los Angeles later this year. Inspired by David Letterman's beloved segment Stupid Pet Tricks, the new comedy series will retain all the original charm, silly fun, and appreciation for the often-absurd bond between humans and their animal friends, with comedy legend and host Sarah Silverman infusing it with a quirky vibe.
Each episode features a parade of pets performing the most ridiculous, impressive, and extraordinary tricks on a studio stage before a live audience, interweaving comedic bits along with games and surprise celebrity guest drop-ins, as pet parents join their furry (or scaley!) friends in the quest to be crowned with the coveted title –Stupidest Trick of the Week.
Joining the cast of the Max Original series And Just Like That... are Cathy Ang, as "Lily Goldenblatt," Niall Cunningham, as "Brady Hobbes," Alexa Swinton, as "Rose Goldenblatt," and Cree Ciccino, as Brady's girlfriend, "Luisa Torres." This new chapter of the groundbreaking HBO series Sex and the City follows "Carrie" (Sarah Jessica Parker), "Miranda" (Cynthia Nixon) and "Charlotte" (Kristin Davis) as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s. The ten-episode, half-hour series is currently shooting in New York. The previously announced cast includes Sara RamÃrez, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Karen Pittman, Chris Noth, Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Willie Garson and Evan Handler.
