    Trust Fall Trailer
    Nov 30 2023

    Trust Fall isn't your typical 9-to-5 comedy. Created by Claire Friedman and featuring a cast that reads like a humor hall of fame—Colin Jost, Wanda Sykes, Chris Parnell, Neil Patrick Harris, Cecily Strong, and more—this is a sidesplitting adventure in the corporate circus.

    Meet Trent Brockett, a workaholic in his 30s, on a mission to secure that coveted promotion to partner at his firm. When he realizes family men have an edge, he devises a wild plan: He'll find a fake wife for an upcoming company retreat in Aspen. But things take an unexpected turn when Trent catfishes Carla, a bold, older woman he met on a Sugar Daddy dating app, who was also catfishing him. Now, with his boss believing they have children, Trent and Carla must hastily create a fake family and navigate a storm of comical mishaps.

    Amidst hilarious team-building exercises, accidental romances, and unexpected challenges, a remarkable transformation occurs: Genuine bonds form within this pretend family, reshaping Trent's career-focused outlook. Trust Fall is a comedy that redefines priorities and celebrates the enduring power of relationships. It's not just about climbing the ladder; it's also about embracing life's unthinkable surprises.

That was so stupid. I loved it!

Great delivery by some of my favorite comedians and comic actors. This plot had no redeeming value and I enjoyed every moment. I've been a fan of Wanda Sykes since the beginning of her career; I'm so happy to see she still has the same energy as ever.

Perfect Casting

Great chemistry amongst the actors and excellent audio performance. Ridiculous story line, which makes it fun. I honestly wasn't expecting too much, but once I started the series, I kept finding time to listen to hear the story progress. Well done!
