Netflix comedy series “Murderville” starring Will Arnett with celebrity guest star partner who is never given a script

Conan is hilarious, but is he supposed to be acting? Like, do they give him a character to play? Surely he's not supposed to be himself.
Remember to try its British cousin (parent?)
Martin Kemp genuinely forgetting his own name, Jamie Laing having his own pigeon story fed back to him, and Kimberley Wyatt struggling with the golf clubs in the background for a good 5 minutes are the best moments.

Successville was very good, especially when the guest can't can't manage to keep a straight face. I like Tom Davis. King Gary is a lot of fun too.
If this new show is anything like the original, this is going to be awesome. I went on a binge a few years ago on this show.
The original show *did* have actual solutions to who did it, or means to eliminate suspects.
There's a bunch on this Youtube channel, but unfortunately not the very first episode, which is possibly the best of all.
Oh, this seems to have everything.
I do note that I don't see any mention here of the *success* part of the original - that is, all the suspects in the original show were parodies of celebrities. I don't think that's inherently a necessary part of the show, although it does mean they can't do things like build a gag around Jimmy Carr's laugh.
Yep, loved it, Tom Davis made it, along with the guests being OK with looking like idiots.
But this seems more episodic in nature anyway, so that shouldn't be a big deal. The idea sounds fun to me.
Are you trying to tell me that there were no good old days when networks protected quirky comedies?
yes Joe.
You will suffer along with us, your good memories are lies. There is only pain. Hey remember that quirky comedy Pushing Daisies? Yeah?
Dead after 2 seasons. Just like your dreams are dead after 2 seasons.
the good old days was when half of all sitcoms on TV were "All in the Family" spinoffs
I was in on the premise before seeing the guest list. I'm super in now that I know Conan is in an episode. Will Arnett's appearances on Conan's podcast always have been laughing so hard.
I imagine his character would be a pretty generic outline with space for him to do whatever. If you tell somebody like Conan to "act" without a script you're gonna get... something....
Sounds like fun. And some of these guests have to include some of the Whose Line stars, no? It would only be right.
They're not really given a character other than themselves as detective trainees.
Yes, the guest star is asked to solve the crime at the end based on talking to the suspects and then told if they're right and what the clues were. It's not all improv, there is a story and characters but the guest star isn't given a script.
I think it depends on how you're counting the images lol. Top right with the bottles is Annie Murphy. The other woman is Sharon Stone.
Yea but I think he was correcting the Betty Gilpin bit so it wasn't even a counting issue. I just lack reading comprehension lol.
