TELETOON, a specialty station specializing in animating programming, has added its first live-action star to its line-up: "Fred At Night" with host Fred Kennedy.
The segment is part of TELETOON's Sunday evening schedule, TELETOON At Night, and Kennedy will host a several-hour block of shows, which includes "Robot Chicken," "The Dating Guy," "Archer" and the "TELETOON At Night Pilot Project."
“'Fred At Night' is a dream gig for me. It's hard to believe that I actually have a job where I can rant about the things that I absolutely love like cartoons and comics,” said Fred Kennedy in an official release. “I can't wait to give my take on the Sunday night line-up, women I'd like to date like Tifa from 'Final Fantasy V11' or the life lessons I've learned from 'Star Wars'.”
Kennedy is currently the host of the afternoon radio show "Fearless Fred," which airs on The Edge. Not only will he host shows on TELETOON but he'll also create exclusive online content for teletoonatnight.com.
“The TELETOON At Night viewer craves edgy, smart comedy and wants to interact with people who share their appreciation for this kind of programming,” said Alan Gregg, Director, Original Content, TELETOON Canada inc, in the same press release. “Fred is the archetype of the typical TELETOON At Night viewer and along with his amazing store of animation, superhero and cartoon knowledge, he makes the perfect host to connect with this programming block's audience and develop a community of like-minded viewers - both on-air and online.”
TELETOON is owned by Teletoon Canada Inc., which is a joint venture between Astral Media and Corus Entertainment.
Look for "Fred at Night" every Sunday at 10pm.
