🐖👖Now presenting: the trailer for Dropout's new show, Smartypants.

Smartypants brings together the most esteemed, inquisitive, and unhinged “academics” in comedy to ask the questions society is too afraid to ask, like “What is the happiest birthdate?" and "Do vegetables really exist?" Host Rekha Shankar leads an all-star cast to enlighten and inspire viewers in this series premiering April 25th on Dropout.

Featuring guest speakers Paul F. Tompkins, Demi Adejuyigbe, Erika Ishii, Jon Gabrus, Vic Michaelis, Katie Marovitch, Paul Robalino, Mike Trapp, Jacob Wysocki, Jess Ross, Alexis Rhiannon, Ross Bryant, Jacquis Neal, Fumi Abe, Janie Stolar, Kimia Behpoornia, Zach Reino, Raphael Chestang, Ryan Creamer, Anna Garcia, Grant O'Brien, Pallavi Gunalan, Carolyn Page, Patrick McDonald, Brian Bahe, Sara Nahusenay, Cynthia Kao, Carlos Luna, and Tao Yang.

The most committed DYNASTY stan. Or maybe just a Joan Collins/Alexis Colby stan.

2002:

2023:

-The Emmys were pushed from September to January due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The WGA have luckily struck a deal, but the actors are still out. The AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA have been hammering the negotiations out over the last several days and while some feel they are close to a deal, others are saying the strike could go until January. Which would certainly mean no Emmys ceremony and no opportunity for the TED LASSO cast to reunite.

Will this be the last image we see of the cast together?

You're on your morning commute and there's Hannah Waddingham trying to get you to honk. What would you do?

What have some of the TED LASSO alums been up to?

-Newlywed Tom "O'Brien" Hendryk and TED LASSO's production designer Paul Cripps attended the screening of Cristo Fernandez's film SISTERS

at the Raindance Film Festival.

Kola and Billy turned up, too.

-Maximilian Osinski went to Nick Mohammed's performance

-Moe Hashim working on the gladiator series THOSE ABOUT TO DIE.

"New look, who's dis?"

-"New headshot, who's dis?"

If there's one thing Hannah's going to do, it's uplift people.

Billy and Kola were recently at the launch party for Reiss Atelier.

Issac and Colin's engagement dinner- real.

Kola has partnered with an Alzheimer's research organization and has gone public about his father's struggle with vascular dementia.

-If you've listened to both installments of Brendan Hunt's appearance on Brett Goldstein's podcast then you know he had a shaky childhood due to his home life. He channels that in an one man show about his complicated relationship with his late mother and their love for The Beatles.

Brendan and his longtime partner got engaged a few months back, but the wedding is on hold as they are expecting their second child.

Also on Baby #2 is Ellie Taylor (Sassy).

-Speaking of babies; Baby! Moe Jeudy Lamour and Baby! Tom Hendryk

-Get you a man who can do it all. English Prof/King/Ken

Recording artist?? What are you doing in the booth, sir?

Justin Collette (Beetlejuice), Isabella Esler (Lydia Deetz), Megan McGinnis (Barbara Maitland), Will Burton (Adam Maitland), Jesse Sharp (Charles Deetz), Kate Marilley (Delia Deetz), Lexie Dorsett Sharp (u/s Miss Argentina), Abe Goldfarb (Otho), Brian Vaughn (Maxie Dean), Kris Roberts (Maxine Dean/Juno), Jackera Davis (Girl Scout), Lee N Price (Ensemble), Eric Anthony Johnson (s/w Ensemble), Haley Fish (Ensemble), Kenway Hon Wai K. Kua (Ensemble), Sean McManus (Ensemble), Katie Lombardo (s/w Ensemble), Trevor Michael Schmidt (Ensemble), Corben Williams (Ensemble)

Notes:

Good capture of Halloween! This was filmed on the aisle so you can see some people getting up and walking around at times. LOTS of latecomers during ready set I had to get up to let people into the row, so there is no video there. The guy in front of me wouldn't stop moving so his head can come in and out of frame at times but it's always worked around.

NFT Date: May 1st, 2024

Nice Capture of the new non-equity tour! There can be a head in the way at some points but it's worked around well. The video can be somewhat grainy at times due to how far I was + how dark the show was. Overall a great video of this incredible cast.
