Season-only
Rob and Rich find themselves buying multiple photo ops with lead actors Jaden and Justin (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki) in an attempt to pitch them a TV show idea. The boys reject their idea, but Rob and Rich’s dejection is short-lived when inspiration strikes – they’ll create a show based on their convention experiences! But their train of progress comes to a screeching halt when they cross paths with actual famous actors who have beaten them to the punch by already creating the exact same show.

About this show

Rob & Rich became regulars on the convention circuit after guest starring on a cult TV series. Now, follow them behind the autograph where you’ll discover that the strangest people at conventions are the actors paid to be there. Based on their real life experience hosting Supernatural Conventions, Rich and Rob play caricatures of themselves cavorting through the con world: Rich, a thrice divorced former actor who’s love of the game is fueled by the faux fame he experiences at conventions, and Rob, a divorcee-to-be who is back on the circuit to cover the costs of his failed marriage and stalled career.

Damn funny. Richard Speight Jr. and Rob Benedict have created a smart, laugh out loud comedy, peppered with ridiculous scenarios that are so outlandish, you just know they're built on truth. Witty and fast paced with brilliantly satirical performances, whether you attend conventions or not, Kings of Con is a comedy not to be missed.
