The trailer for the forthcoming The Charlie Puth Show has just been released, giving fans a comedic glimpse into the life and creative mind of the singer-songwriter. The six-episode series is set to premiere on The Roku Channel on October 4, and promises to feature “artists, comedians and icons from every area of the pop matrix.” The trailer includes appearances by some of Puth’s famous friends like Will Ferrell, Dorinda Medley, Courteney Cox, and John Legend. Puth will be the focus of most of the jokes in the reality-style show, with a hilarious clip from the trailer showing a teen telling the pop star that, “Shawn Mendes is the better version of you.” According to a synopsis of the show, the series “follows Charlie as he attempts to scale the zeitgeist by going beyond pop stardom to become a multi-hyphenate talent after being told it’s no longer enough to just be a musician.” (People)
