Tom Bergeron Guest Stars on American Auto on March 1; Russian Doll Returns This Spring on Netflix

Tom Bergeron and Ana Gasteyer - American Auto

One of the best hosts on television is coming to a sitcom to host a charity dinner. It was previously reported that Tom Bergeron is set to guest star on NBC's American Auto, but now we know when he will appear! He will guest star on the penultimate episode of the freshman comedy airing Tuesday, March 1 at 8:00pm ET/PT in the episode titled "Charity Dinner." Bergeron will play himself and emcee a charity dinner in Detroit for Payne Motors. It's the 9th episode of American Auto, which has its season finale a week later on March 8. Bergeron also has Tic-Tac-Dough, a game show pilot shot for NBCUniversal, that could be a player for them in 2022-23, whether in primetime or syndication. The pilot hasn't been ordered to series just yet, but in the meantime, catch the very likeable Tom Bergeron on NBC's American Auto on March 1 at 8|7c.

From the creator of Superstore comes a workplace comedy that takes the wheels off the automobile industry. Set in Detroit, the corporate executives of Payne Motors are at a crossroads: adapt to the changing times or be sent to the junkyard. Shaking things up is the new CEO, whose leadership, experience and savvy is only slightly offset by her complete lack of knowledge about cars. Luckily, her team has some of the best minds in the business - when they aren't fighting or trying to outwit each other. From the corporate office to the factory floor, the crew of Payne Motors is driving home the laughs. Starring Ana Gasteyer, Jon Barinholtz, Harriet Dyer, Humphrey Ker, Michael Benjamin Washington, Tye White and X Mayo.


Natasha Lyonne - Russian Doll

Netflix comedy Russian Doll is returing for season 2...this spring! No exact premiere date has been announced just yet. Set four years after Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) escaped mortality's time loop together, season two of Russian Doll will continue to explore existential thematics through an often humorous and sci-fi lens. Discovering a fate even worse than endless death, this season finds Nadia and Alan delving deeper into their pasts through an unexpected time portal located in one of Manhattan's most notorious locations. At first they experience this as an ever-expanding, era-spanning, intergenerational adventure but they soon discover this extraordinary event might be more than they bargained for and, together, must search for a way out.

The Emmy-winning show returns with Lyonne serving as showrunner and executive producer, and is also executive produced by Alex Buono, Amy Poehler (Paper Kite Productions), Leslye Headland, Lilly Burns (Jax Media), Tony Hernandez (Jax Media), Dave Becky (3 Arts), Kate Arend (Paper Kite Productions), Regina Corrado and Allison Silverman.
