Titled ‘Talk Guys,’ the new show will be hosted by Whitta and Twitch streamer Kate Stark. The series will debut with back-to-back episodes on August 27 and 28 that have a stacked guest lineup including streamer DrLupo andFall Guysdevelopers Joe Walsh and Oliver Hindle.
Animal Talkingmanaged to bring inbig celebrities such as Brie Larson, Simu Liu, and Selena Gomez. ForTalk Guys, Whitta says they will be targeting more gaming celebrities. “Fall Guysis much more of a gamer’s game,” he told Digital Trends Monday. “All the top streamers are playing it. A lot of developers are playing it. Those are the people we’re going to be targeting.”
The set up will also be different fromAnimal Talking, with guests actually partaking inFall Guysminigames as they are being interviewed. Whitta said viewers might be surprised at the production value on first watch, as it will land somewhere between the averageFall Guysstream and the higher production ofAnimal Talking.
As for who future guests may be, Stark teased 15 people on their list, with at least 90 percent already committed to coming to the show. She said, “They’re all staples in the industry — streamers, developers, and some celebrities that game.” It’s likely theFall Guyssensation has enticed many guests around the world, so the lineup forTalk Guyshas the potential to bring in somebig names likeAnimal Talkinghad, such as Cory Barlog.
The firstTalk Guysepisodes will also be a chance for audiences to hear Guysstraight from the developers.Fall Guysis constantly being updated, and with aseason two set to be announced at the upcoming Gamescom, there’s a chance that some new information will also be revealed duringTalk Guys.
