Comedy Central’s Emmy-Nominated Crank Yankers Gets Long-Awaited Premiere Date/Time For Seventh Season
Comedy Central today announced that the Emmy-nominated series Crank Yankers will make its return on Wednesday, July 6 at 8PM ET/PT with back to back episodes. Crank Yankers brings the classic art of the prank phone call to life. Yankerville’s puppet citizens — voiced by celebrities and comedians — crank call real people, whether they like it or not.
This season will feature beloved characters such as Spoonie Luv, Elmer Higgins, Niles Standish, Bobby Fletcher, Terrence Catheter, Mr. Birchum and more, with voice talent including, but not limited to, Kathy Griffin, Bobby Moynihan, Adam Carolla, Paul Scheer, Kevin Nealon, Desus & Mero, Tracy Morgan, Bobby Brown, Kyle Dunnigan, JB Smoove, Wanda Sykes, Tiffany Haddish, Natasha Leggero, Jimmy Kimmel and more.
Crank Yankers premiered in 2002 and ran for four seasons on Comedy Central. The series returned with a fifth season in 2019. In 2018, it was honored with its first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance.
Fans can find previous seasons one through six on Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
