SIEGFRIED & ROY'S "FATHER OF THE PRIDE" NOMINATED FOR BEST NEW COMEDY
"Father of the Pride" has been nominated for a People's Choice Award in the category of Best New Comedy. "Father of the Pride" is the first prime-time television show with feature film-quality. Created by Jeffrey Katzenberg ("Shrek") and Jonathan Groff ("Late Night with Conan O’Brien"), the series is executive-produced by Groff, Jon Pollack ("Spin City," "Just Shoot Me"), Peter Mehlman ("Seinfeld") and Katzenberg. The series is produced by DreamWorks Animation.
Set in Las Vegas, "Father of the Pride" centers around the family life of Larry, (voiced by John Goodman), a down-to-earth, hard-working lion who somehow fell into show business. After falling in love and marrying the beautiful lioness, Kate (voiced by Cheryl Hines), Larry must endure daily taunting from his father-in-law, the legendary headliner Sarmoti (voiced by Carl Reiner), who was first discovered in Africa by Siegfried & Roy. The now aging star, Sarmoti, is constantly at odds with his son-in-law over such issues as Larry’s disregard for the old Rat Pack-era values or how he parents his two cubs; rebellious 15-year-old daughter Sierra (voiced by Danielle Andrea Harris, "Rugrats Go Wild") and awkward 9-year-old son Hunter (voiced by Daryl Sabara, "Spy Kids").
Joining Larry and his family in this "man-made" jungle of lions, tigers and showbiz is his scheming best friend, Snack the gopher (voiced by Orlando Jones), as well as the snooty white tigers Blake and Victoria (voiced by John O'Hurley, "Seinfeld" and Wendie Malick, "Just Shoot Me"). CGI versions of Siegfried & Roy (voiced by Julian Holloway, "Michael Uncle Silas" and Dave Herman, "Office Space") are also featured in the series.
