Mr. Birchum: Daily Wire Orders Adult Animated Comedy Series!

Years ago, Adam Carolla was shopping an animated comedy to FOX inspired by his “Birchum” character which can be seen regularly on Comedy Centrals’ Crank Yankers and now it looks like it has finally found a home. Moreover, we were the first to report that Daily Wire was looking into getting the adult animation space, and here we are!

As first reported by Deadline, Daily Wire has ordered a new adult animated comedy series called Mr. Birchum from Adam Carolla in which he will also star as the title character. Joining him are  Megyn Kelly (playing Wendi), Tyler Fischer (Karponzi), Alonzo Bodden (Gage), Brett Cooper (Jeanie), Candace Owens (Deena), Kyle Dunnigan (Eddie), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Rob Riggle (Gunderson), and Roseanne Barr (Principal Bortles).

Mr. Birchum attempts to navigate a world he doesn’t understand or approve of. He’s 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 some fantasy mentors – the ghost of his gym teacher, Coach Murphy (Mohr) and childhood frozen dinner icon Burly Man (Warburton). 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.

Our Take

Say what you want about DailyWire, this cast is STACKED and now we have one of the more anticipated animated comedies in recent memory coming soon.
