The cast of Adam CarollaÆs upcoming animated sitcom ôMr. Birchumö hit the red carpet last night for the series premiere at Academy LA in Los Angeles.
Besides the star-studded cast, there were also quite a few VIP guests in attendance for whatÆs shaping up to be the most hilarious, unapologetic
comedy of the year.

Carolla voices Mr. Birchum, a no-nonsense teacher navigating Teddy Roosevelt Junior High with his family ù Wendi (Megyn Kelly), Eddie (Kyle Dunnigan), and stepdaughter Jeanie (Brett Cooper). Partnering with his friend Gage (Alonzo Bodden), Mr. Birchum faces off against a progressive poster child for change, the fanatical social justice warrior, Karponzi (Tyler Fischer).


Other celebs involved in the project include Sage Steele (Deena), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Rob Riggle (Gunderson), and Roseanne Barr (Principal Bortles).

Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, who is the executive producer of ôMr. Birchum,ö posted on X Tuesday, writing, ôFor decades no network would touch @adamcarollaÆs animated sitcom æMr. BirchumÆ for fear of offending the wrong people. Fortunately, we love offending the wrong people, so on 5/12 @DailyWirePlus is bringing him back.ö

Besides the cast of ôMr. Birchum,ö plenty of other famous faces were spotted
on the red carpet. Ben Savage, Dennis Prager, T.J. Miller, Audriix, Razzle Dangerously, Lori ôIceö Fetrick, Rose Reid, Rick Thorne, Jonathan Kite, Tia Carrere, Amala Ekpunobi, and Chef Rush all turned up to show support for the new sitcom.

Executive producers Mike August and Nate Adams, head writer Mike Lynch, supervising producer Curtis Koller, and The Daily WireÆs Co-CEO/Executive Producer Jeremy Boreing, Co-CEO/Executive Producer Caleb Robinson, COO Jon Lewis, and podcast host Michael Knowles were all there, too.

ôAdam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,ö
Boreing previously said of the series.

ôOf course Hollywood wouldnÆt make æBirchumÆ today because theyÆve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the æwrongÆ people û so we realized we had to do it. We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know û Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer and
so many more û to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesnÆt care who it offends.ö

This is DailyWire+Æs first animated comedy. ItÆs produced by David Coleman
for Daily Wire and Dallas Sonnier for Bonfire Legend, with Ben Shapiro executive producing along with Boreing and Robinson.

ôMr. Birchumö premieres Sunday, May 12, exclusively on DailyWire+.
