Comedy: IN THE KNOW
A new stop-motion animation series created by Mike Judge (Beavis and Zach Woods andWoods voices Lauren Caspian, a middling, self-absorbed American public radio host who interviews real-world celebrities – including Mike Tyson, Hugh Laurie, Ken Burns, Norah Jones and star Jonathan Van Ness – and interacts erratically with his team. “We love public radio. It’s so engaging and comforting,” say Woods and Gardner, “but public radio also reflects aspects of ourselves that we’re embarrassed by.” How well insider jokes about NPR culture travel with a TV audience remains to be seen, but the trailer looks fun.
