Plot Synopsis
HOT PACKAGE is a parody of entertainment newsmagazines like ACCESS HOLLYWOOD and THE INSIDER, for which Season 1 studio host Pat O'Brien was at the helm from 1997-2004 and 2004-2008, respectively. In addition to O'Brien being the studio host, Season 1 also featured Derrick Beckles and Anastasia Roark as co-hosts and correspondents. For the show's second season Beckles was promoted to host, Roark came back as co-host/correspondent, and Jeff Deane Turner was added as the Hollywood Insider. Instead of real celebrities and actual news stories, HOT PACKAGE uses found footage, old video, and new segments with non-celebrities and little-known stars. Whether the show features a "Ones on One" segment with porn film editor Rob Spallone, fake celeb gossip, or an in-studio musical performance, each 15-minute episode of HOT PACKAGE explores the bowels of Hollywood. Adult Swim premiered the second season of HOT PACKAGE late-night Friday (early morning Saturday) at 12:30am ET/PT on Friday, February 27, 2015. Season 2 features even more one-of-a-kind found footage clips and insights from A-list celebrity notables, such as Mark McGrath, Heidi Fleiss, Fabio, Kenneth Anger and Corey Feldman.
