The second season of Newsreaders premieres at midnight tonight (October 23) on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.
Alan Tudyk (Firefly) is the new host of the show, Reagan Biscayne, and there are other popular actors and comedians within, including Ray Wise as the lecherous Skip Reming. Here’s how they describe the show:
Newsreaders is Adult Swim’s absurd take on the television news magazine. From the creative team behind Childrens Hospital, season two of Newsreaders will continue to bring viewers inspiring and thought provoking stories that are neither of those things. The new season of Newsreaders will feature Alison Becker, Beth Dover, Dannah Phirman, Randall Park, and Ray Wise, with new host Alan Tudyk.
Season two of Newsreaders is filled with exciting guest stars including Scott Adsit, Malin Akerman, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jenna Fischer, Rob Huebel, Tom Lennon, Randall Park, Danny Pudi, Rob Riggle, Martin Starr, and James Urbaniak, with David Hasselhoff kicking things off in the premiere episode.
The series was created by Emmy®-award winning executive producers Rob Corddry (Hot Tub Time Machine, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart), Jonathan Stern (Childrens Hospital, Burning Love) and David Wain (Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer), with Emmy®-winning producer Jim Margolis (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) serving as showrunner.
