The actors try to predict when the horn will sound and bring an unpredictable pause to their meticulously rehearsed performance, but Tobie Windham (Byron) credits the producers for their skill at misdirection. My right brain is like an 8-year-old kid on Christmas morning, excited to open the presents and play with them.” As she and the cast prepare for Friday night tapings, she says, “My left brain is focused on going over my lines and remembering every bit of movement that was changed. She considers each episode of Just Roll With It to be a workout for both sides of her brain. Suzi Barrett, who plays Rachel-loving mom and producer of the morning talk show hosted by her husband, Byron-has an extensive background in improv, with a resume that includes Chicago’s Second City and L.A.’s Upright Citizens Brigade. The actors’ families are in on the fun, too, and, in fact, a recent scenario found a Just Roll With It star coming face-to-face, on-camera, with someone very important in his or her life (who secretly flew across the country to be part of the surprise). The Just Roll With It production staff has to prepare for every possible outcome-meaning multiple costumes, multiple props and infinite secrets kept from the cast. The improvised scenarios differ from episode to episode, and the audience has had the opportunity to compel cast members to devour a “Breakfast Barf Bonanza” (highlighted by the aforementioned sardines and vanilla ice cream) and they’ve determined whether a pig or a snake would make a special appearance in a scene (the pig won). They basically just have to roll with the punches.” Small explains, “We came up with this idea where the cast spends all week memorizing and performing a script, and then on production night, parts of the script get thrown out and the actors are completely rudderless. Small and Moore wanted a show that revolved around “happy accidents” where something unexpected happens and the actors have to well, just roll with it. And no, the actors don’t know what that will be until it’s already happening. At that point, the audience is presented with a chance to choose one of three options as to what will happen next. In this unique take on a family sitcom, several times throughout an episode, a horn will sound at certain pivotal moments-moments that are unknown to the actors and audience alike. Small and Moore especially loved the energy that comes through when actors break from character and find themselves laughing in the middle of a scene, and they set out to bring that same excitement and unpredictability to Just Roll With It. The creators/executive producers-who previously combined scripted comedy with hidden-camera hijinks in Disney Channel’s Walk the Prank-knew they wanted to capture the spontaneity often found in sketch comedy shows like Saturday Night Live. The sitcom is scripted, but the show goes off-book with an improvisational side that gets an assist from a live studio audience. And, that’s just what the creators and stars want! Just Roll With It is a brand-new kind of show that’ll bring a barrel of laughs with it as you watch-and play-along. Created and executive produced by Adam Small and Trevor Moore, this unique show blends improvisational comedy with a scripted family sitcom for unbridled, unpredictable fun. On Friday, June 14, Disney Channel welcomes a whole new kind of comedy with Just Roll With It, premiering at 9:45 p.m. Have you ever wanted to mix sardines, vanilla ice cream, and a host of ingredients that simply aren’t meant to co-exist in a single dish? The cast of Disney Channel’s new series hasn’t either… but they’ll “just roll with it”-if that’s what the audience decrees.
