TRUE STORY: NBC Orders Hybrid Series Hosted by Ed Helms and Randall Park
February 21, 2020 by Marisa Roffman
NBC has ordered a new hour-long series TRUE STORY to series, the network announced.
The six-episode series, based on the Australian show TRUE STORY WITH HAMISH & ANDY, will be hosted in the U.S. by Ed Helms and Randall Park. In the show, average people sit down with the comedians and tell their crazy true stories—as they then get re-enacted by celebrity performers. Each episode will feature two true stories.
“I can’t wait to bring TRUE STORY to American audiences with my buddy Randall Park,” Helms said in a statement. “It’s an incredibly warm, hilarious and kind-spirited show that celebrates the lost art of laughing at ourselves … with a little help from epic reenactments.”
“I’m so excited to be a part of a show that combines three of my favorite things: great stories from real people, my pal Ed Helms and couches,” Park added.
“TRUE STORY is the perfect combination of heart, humor and ingenuity that has become synonymous with the NBC Alternative brand,” said Meredith Ahr, President, Alternative and Reality Group, NBC Entertainment. “We believe that truth can be stranger (and funnier!) than fiction, and Ed and Randall are the ultimate duo to help real people bring their incredible stories to life.”
“TRUE STORY is an entirely new kind of funny television,” said Mike Darnell, President, Warner Bros. Unscripted & Alternative Television. “Ed and Randall are innovators on the comedy circuit making them the perfect combination to headline this show for NBC.”
