Adult Swim‘s hilarious stop-motion sketch comedy series Robot Chicken is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a new special that’s set to air this summer!
The special is titled “The Robot Chicken Self-Discovery Special,” and it will be taking aim at Discovery, Food Network, and TLC as fans will be following “the hapless Robot Chicken Nerd as he seeks self-discovery America’s way: going on reality shows! Will he find a 90 Day Fiancé – or end up Shark Week chum?”
The series first premiered on February 20, 2005, and it was created by and starred Seth Green and Matthew Senreich. I’ve been a fan of this show since the very first episode, and it’s just a show that has always made me laugh.
Green and Senreich said in a joint statement: “20 years ago, we set out to make the kind of funny and unexpected show that we’d want to watch. And somehow, we’re still here, making sketch comedy with toys and making each other laugh.
“As always, the fans are the true wind beneath our wings, and this new special is going to soar really high. And then maybe from that height, poop on your head. But we all know that’s good luck, so consider this payback for your support.”
Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen said: “Robot Chicken has been pushing the boundaries of comedy and animation for 20 years, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this milestone with our incredible fans.
“From the very first stop-motion sketch to the upcoming special, the show’s relentless creativity and sharp satire continue to set it apart. This new special is packed with the kind of wild, irreverent fun that only Robot Chicken can deliver.”
To celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary, Adult Swim is airing the series five-nights a week throughout this month, with a late-night double episode, Monday – Thursday beginning at 12:30am ET/PT, and featured Robot Chicken specials airing late night Sundays at 1am ET/PT. All 11 seasons of Robot Chicken are currently available to stream on Max.
Robot Chicken is executive produced by Green and Senreich along with co-head writers Douglas Goldstein and Tom Root. Green and Senreich also write, voice and direct the award-winning series.
Stoopid Buddy Stoodios partners, John Harvatine IV and Eric Towner, also serve as executive producers.
