CMT says:
Starring Billy Ray Cyrus and Joey Lauren Adams, “Still The King” premieres Sunday, June 12 at 9pm ET/PT.
“Still The King” features Cyrus as Vernon Brown, AKA “Burnin’ Vernon,” a scandal-ridden washed up one-hit wonder who is kicked out of country music, only to emerge 20 years later as the second best Elvis impersonator. After crashing into an old country church outside of Nashville during a drunken bender, he is sentenced to return and perform community service. Along the way, he pretends to be the congregation’s new minister and discovers he has a 15-year-old daughter he’s never met. In addition to Cyrus and Adams, “Still The King” stars Madison Iseman (“Laid in America” and Nickelodeon’s “Henry Danger”) Lacey Chabert(“Mean Girls” and “Party of Five”), Leslie David Baker (“The Office”), Kevin Farley (“Eight Crazy Nights” and “The Waterboy”), Travis Nicholson and Jon Sewell.
“Still The King” is produced by HIDEOUT PICTURES with Billy Ray Cyrus serving as executive producer and writer. Shannon Houchins, Potsy Ponciroli and Travis Nicholson also executive produce. Julia Silverton and Jayson Dinsmore executive produce for CMT.
What do you think? Did you watch the videos? Do you plan to check out the Still the King TV series premiere on CMT?
I watched the entire season and it was even more funny than I expected. I hope it comes back SOON because most of the other so-called comedies are poorly written and not funny. It’s all the same stuff. Not this though. It is definitely different.
