\n\tFour other performers will join the show as featured players, according to NBC: Tommy Brennan<\/a>, Jeremy Culhane<\/a>, Kam Patterson<\/a>, and Veronika Slowikowska<\/a>. Brennan, a Minnesota-born stand-up and actor who has performed on The Tonight Show, has described<\/a> John Mulaney as his biggest hero, and was mentored by the late Louie Anderson. \u201cThe best advice he gave me was to write about yourself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tJeremy Culhane is a Los Angeles-based performer who\u2019s had viral success online, including a wildly popular 2023 TikTok about a man preparing for a date. \u201cI find the best characters are a shade of yourself that you can lean into,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tPatterson, a Kill Tony regular and Orlando, Florida native, stars alongside Kevin Hart in the upcoming Netflix movie 72 Hours. \u201cI have a one-track mind about comedy,\u201d he said<\/a> recently.<\/p>\n
