00:00-"You guys ready to get weird tonight or what? For sure."
00:06Lamon Morris will be joined by workaholic star Blake Anderson in Hulu's pilot for
00:11Woke. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Anderson has signed on to the project
00:14and will play a longtime friend of Morris' character, Keith.
00:18-"Come on dude, let's go throw the boomerang in the quad."
00:21Woke tells the story of Keith, played by Morris, a cartoonist on the brink of
00:25mainstream success whose usually mild comics take on an edgier tone after
00:29he has a run-in with the police. Keith finds himself in a perpetually woke state as he
00:34navigates his day-to-day life, trying not to blow up everything he's built and while
00:38animated objects invade his reality. The show is inspired by the life of K-Chronicles
00:43cartoonist Keith Knight. Anderson will play Gunther, one of Keith's three roommates.
00:48He's described as a lovable, eccentric type with a blissful worldview that everything
00:52always works out, and for him, it usually does.
00:55Yes, finally. So what do you guys want to do? Go out to the desert, shoot some fireworks,
01:01stare at stars?
01:02Anderson starred in Workaholics on Comedy Central for seven seasons and is currently
01:06coming off of the Netflix movie Game Over Man, in which he starred in and produced
01:10alongside his Workaholics pals Anders Holm and Adam Devine.
01:14The trio also produced another Netflix feature, The Package.
01:18Additionally, comedian T. Murph and Lara Goldie have also joined the pilot.
01:22T. Murph plays Clovis, Keith's unfiltered best friend and roommate who's full of
01:26self-confidence, while Goldie will play Kirsten, Keith's independent supportive
01:30girlfriend who also lives with the guys.
