Tooning Out the News, Paramount+’s critically acclaimed original animated daily news satire series, kicks off a new segment, “Smart Talk Tonight,” debuting June 11. Join animated (and we don’t mean lively!) host Kenneth Parsons and a team of his highly respected soon-to-be-disgraced colleagues as they sit across from real newsmakers in a real studio for intimate one-on-one interviews. “Smart Talk Tonight” premieres with special guest, famed novelist Salman Rushdie.
If only non-animated news was this animated! Tom Brokaw... beware! Take a look at the preview trailer:
