The media company’s first animated comedy, created by and starring Adam Carolla, follows the titular character as he navigates life as a Junior High teacher and father with the help of multiple fantasy mentors like the ghost of his gym teacher, Coach Murphy (Jay Mohr) and childhood frozen dinner icon Burly Man (Patrick Warburton).
The DailyWire+ has just dropped a new trailer for its first animated comedy, Mr. Birchum, created by and starring Adam Carolla, that follows the titular character as he navigates life as a Junior High teacher and father with the help of multiple fantasy mentors, such as the ghost of his gym teacher, Coach Murphy (Jay Mohr) and childhood frozen dinner icon Burly Man (Patrick Warburton).
The show stars Carolla, Megyn Kelly, Brett Cooper, Kyle Dunnigan, Tyler Fischer, Sage Steele, Alonzo Bodden, Roseanne Barr, Jay, Rob Riggle, Danny Trejo, and Warburton.
In the series, which is packed with the comedic subtleties we've come to love from Carolla, Mr. Birchum is befuddled by his gaming streamer son, Eddie (Dunnigan), annoyed at his selfie-taking, snowflake students and is constantly at war with the school district’s appointed “J.E.D.I.” (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion officer) Mr. Karponzi (Fischer). But his best buddy, auto-shop teacher Don Gage (Bodden), his wife Wendi (Kelly), and step-daughter Jeanie (Cooper) have his back, along with his mentors. He’ll even get an assist from sick-and-tired, wishes she were retired, Principal Bortles (Barr) when competing with Navy buddies against his Army nemesis Gunderson (Riggle), and reformed gang member Switchblade (Trejo) lends a tattooed hand building a house for charity.
Check out the "School's Back" trailer:
