True Story With Ed And Randall Trailer: Ed Helms And Randall Park Host A Hybrid Scripted And Unscripted Comedy Series

Funny men Ed Helms and Randall Park are teaming up for a new Peacock series, "True Story with Ed and Randall." The Warner Bros. production is billed as a comedy series with both scripted and unscripted elements, and all six of the show's 60-minute episodes will premiere exclusively on NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock on the same day in January 2022.

Helms and Park serve as the hosts of this series, and in that capacity, they'll be sitting down with ordinary people to unlock their inner raconteurs and hear their remarkable true-life tales. Each story will also come to life in reenactments, and you can get a taste of the series with the first trailer below.

Helms and Park are also executive producing "True Story with Ed and Randall" with showrunner Tracey Baird, among others. The press release offers this description of the series:

"In each episode, Ed and Randall meet one or two storytellers and listen to their funny, amazing and true stories for the first time. The stories range from sneaking into the 1979 Super Bowl — to a rogue bachelor party invite — to a young girl and her family who moved to America and set her sights on becoming senior class president, every story celebrates the rich, comedic elements down to the last detail."

As you can see from the trailer, NFL Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw will help bring the Super Bowl story to life, while a revolving door of guest stars will help stage the reenactments of it and other stories. Guest stars for "True Story with Ed and Randall" include Terry Crews, Paul Scheer, Adam Pally, Rob Riggle, Maz Jobrani, Mindy Sterling, Shannon Woodward, Tichina Arnold, Tawny Newsome, Lauren Ash, Fortune Feimster, and Anders Holm.
