Toast of Tinseltown got off to a strong start on BBC Two tonight, packing a shock cameo from one of the biggest names in American comedy.<\/p>\n
The show is a follow-up to Channel 4 sitcom Toast of London (now streaming on BBC iPlayer), which introduced Matt Berry in the title role of struggling actor Steven Toast and wrapped up after three series in 2015.<\/p>\n
This all-new incarnation moves the story to Hollywood, where Toast is attempting to propel his career to new heights, crossing paths with a number of famous faces along the way.<\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t yet seen tonight\u2019s huge cameo, beware of spoilers<\/strong> to follow.<\/p> Fittingly, the opening scene in Toast of Tinseltown takes Steven back to his old haunt of Scramble Soho, a recording studio where he frequently does voiceover work under the watchful eye of Clem Fandango (Shazad Latif).<\/p>\n This time, he\u2019s tackling the audio version of a new conspiracy theory book delicately titled \u2018JFK and The Bastards That Killed Him\u2019, which a line on the front cover describes as \u201cthe most controversial book of the decade\u201d.<\/p>\n The eccentric author Sola Mirrornek is dialling in virtually to supervise the recording session from his home in Dallas, Texas, with none other than Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/a> and Seinfeld<\/a> creator Larry David playing the part.<\/p>\n David features in a hilarious three-minute opener, which sees him utter one of the most famous catchphrases from the original series: \u201cI can hear you, Clem Fandango.\u201d<\/p>\n Mirrornek has some harsh criticism for Toast, interrupting him several times after just a few words and ultimately questioning whether he is actually a professional actor.<\/p>\n Toast of Tinseltown episode one also includes appearances from Berry\u2019s What We Do in the Shadows<\/a> co-star Kayvan Novak, who plays a mindfulness coach, as well as Saturday Night Live alum Fred Armisen \u2013 and this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n Toast of Tinseltown continues at 10pm on Tuesday 11th January 2022.
