In an age where political correctness and woke culture dominate mainstream entertainment, Megyn Kelly heralds the arrival of “Mr. Birchum,” an animated sitcom created by comedian Adam Carolla, as the breath of fresh air we need. The Daily Wire’s first foray into comedy dares to go where others fear to tread, taking a firm stand against the coddling of society.
During a recent podcast appearance on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Carolla discussed the inspiration behind the character of Mr. Birchum, a no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher who is fearless in confronting a world he perceives as baffling and mediocre. Drawing upon his own experiences with shop teachers in school, Carolla recalled them as tough, intimidating figures who, despite their apparent disdain for children, were passionate about their work.
Kelly agreed on the importance of such figures in today’s educational landscape, noting the influx of soft individuals coming out of K-12 and college institutions. With its unapologetic take on challenging topics, “Mr. Birchum” promises to make a powerful statement in the midst of the cultural shift toward excessive sensitivity.
The star-studded cast includes Kelly, Roseanne Barr, Jay Mohr, Daily Wire’s Brett Cooper, Danny Trejo, and many others. In the show, Carolla’s Mr. Birchum frequently faces off against the incredibly woke character Karponzi, portrayed by comedian Tyler Fischer. As a representation of society at large, Karponzi embodies the zealous social justice warriors who have been pushing woke ideologies for the past decade.
Cooper and Kelly, who voice Mr. Birchum’s daughter and wife respectively, spoke about their experiences as conservative voices in a largely liberal entertainment industry. Cooper, in particular, discussed facing backlash from friends in college for her differing beliefs, which ultimately led her to speak out on politics, values, and culture through her online videos.
Jeremy Boreing, Daily Wire co-founder and executive producer of “Mr. Birchum,” proudly announces the show’s premiere, emphasizing the willingness to offend the “wrong people” and break free from the constraints of traditional networks.
“Mr. Birchum” promises to deliver a fresh perspective on the current state of entertainment and society, unafraid to confront the status quo and challenge the dominance of woke culture. With its defiant tone and commitment to pushing boundaries, this groundbreaking new sitcom is poised to leave a lasting impact on its viewers, reminding us all of the importance of standing up against mediocrity and political correctness. It’s a call to embrace the enduring strength and convictions of individuals like Mr. Birchum, who are needed now more than ever. Catch the premiere exclusively on the DailyWire+ this Sunday, May 12, at 9/8 Central.
