TOP SECRET VIDEOS - ALI KOLBERT and RON FUNCHES INTERVIEW
/Who doesn’t comment out loud on some of the ridiculous videos we see online? Well now you can listen to comedians make fun of insane videos on the new show, Top Secret Videos.
truTV’s new comedy series Top Secret Videos follows a fictional group of fresh interns working from the basement of the “NSA” whose jobs are to catalogue all of the pointless security camera footage that passes through the “NSA” servers. Using the latest in video surveillance technology, this modern evolution of America’s Funniest Home Videos captures the most embarrassing, ridiculous, and bizarre behavior with hilarious commentary from a cast of comedians that includes Brian Posehn (The Big Bang Theory), Ron Funches (Trolls) and Ali Kolbert (The Tonight Show).
Ali Kolbert is an NYU Tisch Grad who first started as an NBC Page at 30 Rock - where she has worked on Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and made her television debut onThe Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Ali has also performed her stand-up comedy at multiple festivals such as The Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta, and The Big Sky Comedy Festival in Montana. Kolbert has also performed on truTV's Comedy Knockout and NBC's comedy special, Bring the Funny.
A stand-up comedian, actor, and writer, Ron Funches has lent his voice to Troll's, Bob's Burgers and Adventure Time. He has also appeared on New Girl, Black-ish and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
