Newsreaders

From the creative team behind the acclaimed, irreverent, Emmy®-winning comedy Childrens Hospital, NEWSREADERS is an all-new comedy series that satirizes the network television newsmagazine genre. Based upon the “Newsreaders” episodes, which aired previously on Childrens Hospital, Newsreaders is an absurd take on the television news magazine format, a show that goes behind the stories nobody else thinks are stories — because they’re not. Featuring host Louis La Fonda (series star MATHER ZICKEL), the series will explore the vital issues that actually don’t affect us every day, from hard-hitting investigations to harder-hitting, heartwarming profiles to deliver unparalleled award-eligible reporting every week. In the series premiere, an eye-opening investigation by Louis La Fonda reveals the shocking secret to the rebirth of the American Auto Industry and “back seat driver” takes on a whole new meaning. Guest stars include BRIAN POSEHN, MISSI PYLE and DAN RATHER as himself.
