Amazon Launches NFL Comedy Recap Show Hosted by Taran Killam – Deadline – newsdubai
A new 30-minute NFL comedy show airs every Wednesday on Prime Video featuring actor, comedian, writer and Saturday Night Live alum Taran Killam hosted.
NFL Pile On presented by Carnival Cruise Line debuts on Wednesday 14 September at 7 PM ET, the day before Prime Video’s season opener Thursday night football game when the Los Angeles Chargers visit the Kansas City Chiefs.
Every week, NFL Pile On will showcase funny and unexpected moments from around the league, from players with microphones during pregame warmups to one-liners after a press conference – everything from studio shows, social media and fashion faux pas. With full access to NFL Films’ content library, NFL Pile On will ensure that no epic fumble or comedic moment throughout the season-long NFL campaign goes unnoticed.
“NFL Arrows On will give viewers an entertaining, fresh take on all of the week’s NFL action,” said Marie Donoghue, vice president of Global Sports Video, Amazon. “Led by Taran Killam, we want to bring fans closer to the fun in and around the game, so they can enjoy even more access to their favorite teams and players.”
Boasting a range of experience in film and TV favourites, including Night School, How I Met Your Mother, SNL, and MADtv, as well as an appearance as King George III in the Broadway production of Hamilton, host Taran Killam is joined by comedian Sarah Tiana and guests from the worlds of pop culture, sports, comedy and social media.
“I’m so excited and grateful to help launch a show about two things I love: football and comedy,” Killam said. “The fact that we’re backed by the NFL and Prime Video means we can deliver exclusive content with full access to both Prime members and NFL fans … and also that I get everything The boys spoilers I can handle.”
The show is produced in coordination with NFL Films and led by showrunner Chris Pizzi.
