Wrinkle The Duck Helps Resurrect A TV Classic With 1 Incredibly Stupid Trick
HuffPost
A late-night staple gets a makeover as "Stupid Pet Tricks" returns to television.
A classic segment from David Letterman’s late-night television shows is getting a new leash on life as “Stupid Pet Tricks” makes its series debut on Sunday.
The new TBS show is hosted by actor/comic Sarah Silverman, who last year was one of the rotating guest hosts of “The Daily Show.”
In Sunday’s premiere, however, she promises that “Stupid Pet Tricks” will be free of stupid politics.
“Some of these animals will blow your mind, and some of these animals will blow the trick,” she says. “Either way, you’re not watching the news.”
Fittingly, the show begins with Letterman passing the torch to Silverman by reading a “Top Ten List” of all the people he tried to hire for the job instead of her.
