The new workplace comedy American Auto is now playing on NBC.

NBC’s new workplace comedy “American Auto” is off to a great start. The debut season of the new workplace comedy excites viewers and the creators. The show presents the workplace of executives in the Detroit automotive industry. The leadership of Payne Motors has to figure out how to lead their company to success, with a brand new CEO who doesn’t even drive. They work together to figure out how to navigate changing times and driverless cars. “American Auto” will keep you engaged, entertained and laughing.

The Knockturnal recently interviewed the actors and creator of the new series. Justin Spitzer told us about his relentlessness to make this show happen. He original sold the show pilot to NBC in 2013, after working as a writer on “the Office.” Finally after his years of success producing “Superstore” and Covid related challenges, they started production on American Auto.

The cast includes Ana Gasteyer, Jon Barinholtz, Humphrey Ker, Harriet Dyer, Tye White, Michael B. Washington and X Mayo. We discussed the behind the scenes of this show and talked about fan reactions. The actors talked about how they helped shape their characters and working during a pandemic. Sitcom fans will enjoy the characters and story of each new episode.

Watch new episodes weekly on NBC each Tuesday at 8PM EST.
