Kids in the Hall Reboot Trailer Reveals First Look At Stars' Returns
The first trailer for the Kids in the Hall reboot series has arrived, providing a look at the cult sketch comedy’s returning stars.

Additionally, The Kids in the Hall wasn’t afraid to take its comedy to surreal places, creating genuinely bizarre recurring characters such as the Chicken Lady and Mr. Tyzik – aka the crushing your head guy.
