Comedy Central’s Crank Yankers features comedy icons including Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel, and Emmy-winner Wanda Sykes creating mayhem by prank calling real people. The absurd conversations get reenacted with puppet versions of the celebrities and innocent victims.
While Lead Editor of the show’s fourth season, Todd was invited to direct several segments for the show, including a prank where Kevin Nealon (SNL, Weeds) calls a flower shop and another where Crank Yankers mainstay Jim Florentine pranks a debt consolidation office.
Transitioning from the edit bay to the director’s chair was a natural evolution. Todd stepped onto set with a deep understanding of the show’s comedic DNA and the peculiar technical requirements of Muppet-style puppetry. Todd collaborated with lead puppeteer Victor Yerrid (Robot Chicken, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) and his amazing team to ensure their precise choreography captured every deadpan beat and physical gag while still allowing space for the puppeteers to inject spontaneity into their performances.
