A mobile billboard is driving around Los Angeles ù including a big Netflix comedy event ù this weekend, displaying the trailer and details about the much-anticipated premiere of ôMr. Birchum,ö The Daily WireÆs first animated comedy series.
The digital billboard is 7 feet tall and 12 feet long and is made to resemble
a school bus since the show centers on a junior high woodshop teacher voiced
by series creator Adam Carolla. The mobile billboard is driving around some Southern California hotspots, including Hollywood, West L.A., Culver City, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach.
On Saturday, the billboard also targeted the ôNetflix is a Jokeö comedy festival, which featured comedians such as Kevin Hart, Trevor Noah, and
Chelsea Handler.

L.A. is where ôMr. Birchumö was first created as a character by Carolla 30 years ago on the ôKevin and Bean Show,ö which aired on L.A.Æs KROQ radio station.
ôIn 1994, I was a boxing coach. I was training Jimmy Kimmel to box. Jimmy,
the sports guy back then, for KROQ radio, for a morning stunt. He thought I
was funny. He said, æI think I can get you on the radio. But youÆve got to
come up with a character,Æö Carolla told Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro.
Carolla added, ôI said, æI donÆt do characters.Æ He said, æYou better come up with one.Æ And I came up with a character called Mr. Birchum. Thirty years
ago on KROQ radio in Los Angeles for the morning show.ö
Carolla said the Mr. Birchum character ôimmediately became insanely
popular,ö adding, ôThis is how I got into show business.ö
ôMr. Birchumö centers on the eponymous character, a woodshop 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 big names in the series include Sage Steele (Deena), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Rob Riggle (Gunderson), and Roseanne Barr (Principal Bortles).
