In this parallel cartoon universe, the Commander-in-Chief opens the White House doors for an “all access” look at a typical day in the life of the President of the United States. OUR CARTOON PRESIDENT is produced by CBS Television Studios and executive produced by Colbert, Licht and Fried, who serves as showrunner. Tim Luecke serves as lead animator and co-executive producer. Matt Lappin is consulting producer. To learn more about OUR CARTOON PRESIDENT, follow @CartoonPres and join the conversation using #CartoonPresident.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of political satire? Will you watch Our Cartoon President?
I will never watch a show such as this. It will be rude,cruel and very ‘un-funny’. Stephen Colbert and others like him simply hate your President and refuse to find anything positive in his Presidency. Many viewers are giving up on self-important late night hosts, so called comics and award shows. So,how about some positive programming?
Going to give it a look! Love Colbert!
It is pathetic, what our society has become where you can belittle and make fun of someone just because their political beliefs don’t align with yours. I’ll take it for granted if Mrs. Clinton had won the title would have been a lot more respectful.
Don’t we have enough hate in the world? And we need Stephen Colbert producing this creating more heat mongering rhetoric? Standup be a human vote and stop hate mongering idiots like Stephen Colbert!
