PodcastOne (NASDAQ: PODC), a leading podcast platform and a
subsidiary of LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO), announced today that it has
signed comedian and actor Chris Kattan to a multi-year contract for
the exclusive sales and distribution rights for Kattan’s debut
podcast, Idiotically Speaking with Chris Kattan. The weekly comedy
variety show podcast is set for a July 24, 2024 debut and upcoming
guests include Saturday Night Live alum and fellow comedians Fred
Armisen, Dana Carvey, Rachel Dratch, Tim Meadows, Bobby Moynihan,
Chris Parnell and Cecily Strong.
Join Kattan and co-hosts Andy Bolduc and Joseph
Nuñez as each week Kattan invites his funniest friends to catch up
on old times and hear about the new stuff too (if we have to).
Then, our trio ropes their guest into an outrageous scenario where
they have to improvise their way out! Will they spin comedy gold or
will they just be... Idiotically Speaking?
“PodcastOne is thrilled to welcome Chris, Andy
and Joseph to the network. Chris’ comic genius, his improvisational
skills and his rapport with his co hosts on Idiotically Speaking
are great additions to the roster of shows already part of our
slate of programming. We know that listeners and advertisers will
equally embrace this show with enthusiasm,” said Kit Gray,
President and Co-Founder of PodcastOne.
"Andy, Joey, and I are incredibly excited to
launch the show on PodcastOne," said Chris Kattan. "It's such a joy
to get to interview old friends, reconnect, and chat about our
journeys, from our days on SNL to our lives today. And we can't
wait for fans to hear the hilarious new sketches we're cooking up
with these comedy legends each week."
