This year’s Just For Laughs live comedy festival is going 100% digital, acting more like a Comic-Con for comedy and less like a live comedy show and we’ve got a pretty awesome panel announced for October 9th. Of note, this is two days after the Vice Presidential debate happening October 7th and it features the Tooning Out The News cast and crew for really one of the only times thus far we’ve had a chance to see the people who help bring this daily animated news series to life.

TOONING OUT THE NEWS features a cast of animated characters, led by anchor James Smartwood, lampooning top news stories and interviewing real-world guests, newsmakers and analysts. New five-to seven-minute segments are available Tuesday through Friday, culminating in a weekly full episode. The series is executive produced by Stephen Colbert and Chris Licht of CBS’ THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT and RJ Fried and Tim Luecke from SHOWTIME’s OUR CARTOON PRESIDENT.

Slated to be part of the panel happening October 9th @ 6 pm ET is RJ Fried, Ike Ufomadu, Jack Bensinger, Maureen Monahan, Naima Pearce, Olivia Nuzzi, and Zach Smilovitz. The panel is being presented by CBS All Access and will see Olivia as the panel moderator. Get ticket information here.
Tooning Out The News has new episodes happening the rest of the week on CBS All Access, get more information on this week’s schedule here.
