I&#8217;m a huge fan of yours ever since Firefly.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suzanne:<\/b> They wanted me to [ask you about] &#8220;Devil May Care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> Devil May Care. It&#8217;s on the TZGZ Syfy midnight animation block. I don&#8217;t know what TZGZ stands for.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suzanne:<\/b> I don\u2019t either.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> Has anybody has told anybody? I think it just sounds good together, and it&#8217;s for some reason memorable. I\u2019m the devil &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><b>Suzanne:<\/b> Was it fun developing the voice for the devil?<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> Yeah, you know, he&#8217;s similar to a character I played in Knocked Up for a head of an Entertainment Tonight or Weekly type executive or something like that, which seems appropriate. [laughs] \u201cCome on, be a team leader! \u201cThat&#8217;s the way the devil is different in this show.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suzanne:<\/b> He\u2019s not evil sounding.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> He&#8217;s not evil &#8211; not sounding, and not even in the way he goes about running Hell. He\u2019s trying to gentrify Hell. He wants it to be a place where you can go and have a good time. He just happens to be the angel that got put in charge of Hell is the thing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suzanne:<\/b> How many total episodes are there for Devil May Care?<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> That\u2019s a good question.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suzanne:<\/b> Oh, you don&#8217;t know? It&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> [laughs] I think it\u2019s eight. Yeah, eight ten, but only like fifteen-minute episodes. It&#8217;s got like an Adult Swim type feel to the shows&#8230;It\u2019s crazy.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suzanne:<\/b> It was fun to recognize Louis Black in the first episode. Are there a lot of recognizable guest star voices in the other episodes?<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> Yes, there&#8217;s somebody else that I was stoked that we got, but I didn&#8217;t know that we got Louis until I saw the episode, because, again, this was all very pandemic in the way we recorded it. So, you can you can record whole things and never meet another person. You&#8217;re able to talk and meet and handshake, but it&#8217;s just that we haven&#8217;t been able to do [that]. I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t have a list of who all is in the show, but yeah, Louis Black is a cool cat.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suzanne:<\/b> You do a lot of animated shows, do you have to turn down a lot of them, because you get so much animated voice work?<\/p>\n<p><b>Alan:<\/b> Yeah, I guess I&#8217;m choosy in my animated work. They&#8217;re pretty easy to do, as far as the time commitment and things like that, but, yeah, it kind of feels like when you&#8217;re spoiled. [laughs] I love tacos, and then you move to a neighborhood that has the best taco place and [someone\u2019s] like, \u201cYou want a taco?\u201d \u201cFrom where?\u201d I\u2019m at the \u201cfrom where?\u201d place. \u201cWho&#8217;s making the taco.

Airing on SYFY every Saturday at midnight-ish, <strong>TZGZ<\/strong> is a 90-minute block of adult comedic, animated, genre-based programming of varying lengths. Since its 2019 debut, <strong>TZGZ<\/strong> has grown +7% in the 18-49 demo vs prior year, and continues to bring younger viewers to the network.*<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEVIL MAY CARE, TZGZ\u2019s<\/strong> second internally developed pilot greenlit to series, has earned a 7-episode series pickup. For the series, the Devil (Alan Tudyk, SYFY\u2019s \u201cResident Alien\u201d) hires a social media coordinator (Asif Ali, \u201cBoJack Horseman\u201d) to rebrand Hell as the ultimate place to live, and the two form the most unlikely of friendships. Recurring roles are played by Fred Tatasciore, Pamela Adlon and Stephanie Beatriz.<\/p>\n<p>Created and executive produced by Douglas Goldstein (3x Emmy winner, \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d), this 15-minute series is developed and executive produced by Amanda Miller at PSYOP in partnership with Titmouse, the Emmy-award winning independent animation production company. Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski and Ben Kalina from Titmouse are also executive producers.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, SYFY has greenlit 3 pilots for TZGZ:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From ShadowMachine (\u201cFinal Space,\u201d \u201cBoJack Horseman\u201d), <strong>CHRONICLES OF FRANK<\/strong> follows an overzealous squirrel that kidnaps an exterminator from the Bronx, transporting him to a magical realm where he must conquer the forces of evil and maybe win back his girlfriend. Ordered for a 15-minute pilot, <strong>CHRONICLES OF FRANK<\/strong> is created and executive produced by Chris Osbrink (Writer\/Director, &#8220;Trip Tank,\u201d Writer\/Director, &#8220;Campus Law&#8221;), with ShadowMachine executive producers Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In a galaxy far, far away there\u2019s an epic war of the worlds where countless alien species will fight to the death \u2013 and <strong>THE BLACK HOLE<\/strong> is about the crappy dive bar where they drink. Picked up for a 15-minute pilot, <strong>THE BLACK HOLE<\/strong> from Starburns Industries (\u201cRick and Morty,\u201d \u201cMoral Orel\u201d) is written and executive produced by Dino Stamatopoulos (Creator, \u201cMoral Orel\u201d) and Michael Waldron (Producer, \u201cRick and Morty\u201d). Paul Young (EP, \u201cKey &amp; Peele\u201d), James A Fino (EP, \u201cRick and Morty\u201d), Duke Johnson (Director, \u201cAnomalisa\u201d) and Nick Weidenfeld (President of Programming, Viceland) also executive produce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy is the belly that wears the suit in <strong>THE POLE<\/strong>, a twisted, edgy comedy about the struggle for power on the North Pole. From Yeti Farm Creative (\u201cHotel Transylvania\u201d Season 2, \u201cPete the Cat\u201d Season 2), <strong>THE POLE <\/strong>has been ordered for a 15-minute pilot. Created and executive produced by Matthew Bass (Writer, \u201cFuture Man\u201d) and Theodore Bressman (Writer, \u201cFuture Man,\u201d Writer\/EP, \u201cJungleland\u201d). Mark Gordon (Producer, \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy,\u201d \u201cRay Donovan\u201d) also executive produces, as well as Frank Saperstein and Jay Surridge from Yeti Farm Creative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfy.com\/tags\/devil-may-care\">More at SyfyWire<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Proofread and Edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/06\/20\/biobrenda\/\">Brenda<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/interviews\/\">Back to the Primetime Articles and Interviews Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10895\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/devilmaycare-300x187.png\" alt=\"Devil (Alan Tudyk) and Beans (Asif Ali)\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/devilmaycare-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/devilmaycare.png 482w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV Interview!
