‘Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News’ Season 2 Preview
Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News is a political satire series that aired a successful first season on CBS All Access in 2020. Now the streaming service is being rebranded and expanded into Paramount+ and the second season of Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News will air there.
The animated series consists of four main segments: “Big News,” “Inside the Hill,” “Virtue Signal,” and “Hot Take.” They previously debuted on the streaming service one per day on Tuesday through Friday, plus a “Week in Review” segment that also debuted on Fridays. Season two adds two new segments: “The Establishment with Tory Hughes” and “Smart Talk Tonight.”
“We are ecstatic to be collaborating again with the talented creative team behind Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News,” said Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming, Paramount+, in a statement. “They overcame every obstacle 2020 threw at them and day after day delivered an extremely smart, inventive, and funny program that offered our audience a bit of reprieve from the ‘regular’ news cycle. We’re cautiously optimistic about what’s in store for 2021, but no matter what, we’re eager to know what the series’ mostly informative segments and characters will have to say about it.”
“We are so excited for season two of Tooning Out the News, which will feature even more incisive questions, unrelenting egomania, Freudian projection, shameless brand integration, tasteful nudity, unapologetic slander, and flat out lying,” added Colbert.
The voice cast includes Kennedy Baldwin, Jack Bensinger, Jeremy Bent, Steph Cook, Neil D’Astolfo, RJ Fried, Otter Lee, Jeremy Levick, Nathan Min, Maureen Monahan, Alise Morales, Simone Norman, Naima Pearce, Zach Smilovitz, Meg Stalter, Rajat Suresh, Ike Ufomadu, Corin Wells, Moujan Zolfaghari, and Keisha Zollar.
