Season two of
NEWSREADERS is filled with exciting guest stars including Scott Adsit, Malin Akerman, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jenna Fischer, Rob Huebel, Tom Lennon, Randall Park, Danny Pudi, Rob Riggle, Martin Starr, and James Urbaniak, with David Hasselhoff kicking things off in the premiere episode.

Newsreaders, which satirizes the television newsmagazine format, will continue to bring viewers inspiring and thought-provoking stories that are neither of those things. From motor-boating dads to alien abductions, "GoNadz" for your vehicle to go-to cures for jellyfish stings,
NEWSREADERS has the stories that literally will change the face of America. Literally.
