| “ | From executive producer Stephen Colbert comes WHAT'S A PRESIDENT TO DO?- the next big satirical comedy based on Colbert's OUR CARTOON PRESIDENT. It's not like any political satire, though. What makes it different? It depicts the presidents in a wild, hilarious mission like never before, with high stakes that will determine the future of the United States (& the world!) In this political comedy, our presidents are faced with the issue of... nuclear deals? Nope. Conflicts with other countries? Nope! Their management of the country? Kinda. But in all seriousness, the problem our leaders are gonna have to face? An extraterrestrial plot that threatens not just the US, but the entire planet! Will 5 of them have what it takes to lead Earth against these oppressive aliens & their plot for conversion to robots? Starring Iman Crosson, Jeff Bergman, Michael Kovach, & Steve Blum, WHAT'S A PRESIDENT TO DO? will be distributed by Ketchup Entertainment in theaters worldwide on November 7, 2025. |
