Movie” have been tight-lipped about whether the mustachioed plumber’s first animated film adventure will turn into a franchise, a post-credits scene at the end of the Universal and Nintendo pic hints at a sequel.

Scott Huver “Reboot” creator Steven Levitan admits that having a cast stacked with Hollywood veterans, including Keegan-Michael Key, Judy Greer, Johnny Knoxville, Rachel Bloom and Paul Reiser, was almost like having a second writers’ room when it came to war stories for the show’s inside-Hollywood view of rebooting a beloved, 20-year-old sitcom. “We would just be sitting around talking and then someone would say this, ‘Oh, this reminds me of the time this has happened,’ and then [the writers] refined it in next week’s script,” laughed the “Modern Family” co-creator at the premiere of his new Hulu series, held on the Fox lot that also serves as the backdrop for the show.

Rachel Bloom, Keegan-Michael Key and Judy Greer hit the red carpet for the premiere of their new series, Reboot, held at the Fox Studio Lot on Monday (September 19) in Los Angeles.

James Corden had Keegan-Michael Key on Monday’s episode of “The Late Late Show,” and he roped to “Key and Peel” and “Schmigadoon!” star into one of his more fun recurring gags, “Improvised TED Talks.” The topic was “The life-changing power of vacuuming in the nude,” and since we can’t top that here, we’ll just get right to it.So the gag, for those who don’t know, is Corden has one of his celebrity guests give a totally unrehearsed, unresearched TED Talk on a topic they don’t know about in advance. Comedy very generally ensues, especially on Monday’s episode since Key is, you know, something of a well regarded comedy person.“You know, ladies and gentlemen, I find that, when I’m at home and I’m, uh, doing the house work, that my wife becomes very happy,” Key said as he kicked off his awkward lecture. “I have also found that when I have no clothing on in my home, my wife also is happy.

Reboot on . I haven't been this excited about a new comedy since premiered in 2009. Makes sense: Reboot also comes from Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan. In the series, a writer (played by ) decides she wants to reboot a popular '90s sitcom, which will remind you of Full House meets My Two Dads.

Keegan-Michael Key) who unsuccessfully pursued a film career after the show (but nobody appreciated his insights from having attended the Yale School of Drama); Bree Marie Larson (Judy Greer), who has a romantic past with Reed, followed up the sitcom with a stint on a terrible sci-fi show, then left Hollywood to marry the Duke of a small Nordic country; Clay Barber (Johnny Knoxville), who did some stints of stand up comedy after “Step Right Up,” in between getting arrested for disorderly conduct, and Zack (Calum Worthy), the show’s former child star who’s all grown up now and feels the need to prove it by driving a red sports car and telling his fellow cast members that although they’re back together for this show, “It’s different now, because we’ve all had sex.” Rachel Bloom (“Crazy Ex Girlfriend”) co-stars as Hannah, a writer pitching this reboot who wants to make an edgier version where the sitcom characters “don’t do the right thing anymore”, and Paul Reiser co-stars as Gordon, the original “Step Right Up” creator who wants the reboot to be more traditional. Naturally, this leads to some awkward clashing between Gordon and Hannah, as they have different creative approaches to this reboot project. Shows that attempt to be meta can sometimes get too inside baseball with showbiz references, but “Reboot” is clever and funny, for the most part.
