Pop is getting into the late night talk show business. Well, the fake late night show business that is. Recently, the network announced their new scripted comedy, Nightcap, will premiere this summer.
This summer, Pop is also premiering their Big Brother companion series, Big Brother: After Dark.
From Ali Wentworth, Nightcap offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the fictional late night talk show, The Nightcap with Jimmy. The series stars Wentworth and others in the minutes leading up to the talk show’s live premiere.
According to AdWeek, the comedy will feature appearances from Michael J. Fox, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Paul Rudd.
From Pop:
NIGHTCAP: Produced by award-winning studio Lionsgate, NIGHTCAP is a clever, over-the-top culture-commentary comedy that dives into the hilarity that ensues behind-the-scenes of a fictitious late-night talk show, “The Nightcap with Jimmy.” The 10-episode original scripted comedy series stars Ali Wentworth (“In Living Color,” “Head Case,” “It’s Complicated,” “Office Space”) and features a mix of improvisational actors and real-life celebrities. Each half-hour episode covers the hectic minutes prior to a live airing of a late-night talk show, which are fraught with insanity, urgency, absurdity, laughter and lip-sync rehearsals. Produced by Ali Wentworth, Tom Brunelle and Brad Wollack, Zero Point Zero and Troy Miller/Dakota Films for Lionsgate, NIGHTCAP is set to premiere in Summer 2016.”
What do you think? Would you watch Nightcap? Do you watch any shows on Pop?
I am not sure if I would enjoy the show, but I find the preview ad offensive. I don’t think it should be shown when kids could be around. I enjoy ER, but it’s hard to hear over and over.
I really want to watch but never heard of POP channel and can’t get it on my Mediacom plan. DARN! Wish it could be on one of the big networks.
After watching the previews I find this program to be a disgusting secular worldly program by secular pigs who th No it’s funny to blaspheme and take the Lords name in vain , to use the “f” word and talk vulgar talk about test idles by that pig Alec Baldwin. I hope it gets taken off the air
Can’t find POP channel
I can’t wait for Nightcap!
love Ali Wentworth. Show sucks
