Peacock recently announced a new sketch comedy special called Would it Kill You to Laugh? Starring Kate Berlant & John Early. The special is said to be one-of-a-kind starring Berlant (A League of Their Own) and Early (Search Party) with Meredith Vieira (30 Rock) also appearing. Based on the description below, this could be a funny one-hour special.

The one-of-a-kind comedy special will feature famous comedy duo Berlant and Early playing exaggerated versions of themselves as they reunite after suffering a public falling out many years earlier. Berlant and Early will also play an unpredictable variety of characters throughout.

Katie Hockmeyer of NBCUniversal shared:

We are beyond excited that Kate and John are bringing their comedic talents to Peacock. This one-of-a-kind special is so brilliant and fun and we can’t wait for our audience to see this magic.

Berlant, Early, and Andrew DeYoung who all serve as executive producers said in a collective statement:

We are eternally grateful to Peacock for giving us this opportunity to make the nation laugh. The three of us could not be happier to be back together again making a big batch of sketches for you all.

There’s no exact release date, but Would it Kill You to Laugh? is set to premiere this summer.
