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 examines the quintessentially Trumpian details of the presidency and his most important relationships, and no one is safe – from his close family and confidants to key political figures from both parties and members of the media.
OUR CARTOON PRESIDENT is produced by CBS Television Studios and executive produced by Colbert, Licht and showrunner R.J. Fried. Tim Luecke will serve as lead animator and co-executive producer. Matt Lappin will serve as consulting producer. To learn more about OUR CARTOON PRESIDENT, follow @CartoonPres on Twitter and Facebook and join the conversation using #CartoonPresident.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of political parodies? Will you watch Our Cartoon President?
Iwould not even attempt to watch this program,not a fan of “let’s get the President” humour (or attempts at) these days. I am Canadian and feel you have the best President you’ve had in many a year. Even late night ‘comedy’ shows have turned into “Let’s GET President Trump”. So I’ve given up watching that trash.
Colbert is only creating more hate and disruption for the USA with this crap.enough is enough making people hate others is not how USA population take care of problems….. VOTING does! Stop crying foul and vote instead of doing worse thing to follow USA citizens……..WAKE UP! And stop hate driven morons like Colbert!
