NBC's American Auto stages an amusing Superstore reunion in an exclusive clip
Superstore's Ben Feldman appears in a new American Auto episode in a character markedly different from Jonah Simms
It’s the wacky Superstore reunion you didn’t know you needed.
Justin Spitzer is bringing Superstore’s Ben Feldman aboard his latest NBC comedy, American Auto, whose hilarious 13-episode second season began on January 26. The show follows the delightful yet questionable leaders of car company Payne Motors. The new CEO, Katherine Hastings (Ana Gasteyer), knows nothing about the primary product—the lady can’t even drive. But she proves to be an adept leader during the many crises the team faces, from damaged car parts causing a wildfire to cutting jobs in an HR disaster. Don’t worry, the cast chemistry and witty writing keeps American Auto extremely enjoyable even in these dubious circumstances.
Season two has already introduced notable cameos including Seth Meyers, Eric Stonestreet, Andy Richter, and Ryan Reynolds. But perhaps it’s Feldman’s appearance that will most excite fans familiar with Spitzer’s previous work.
Feldman, of course, played retail employee Jonah Simms for six seasons on Superstore, which wrapped in March 2021. Two years later, he’s collaborating with Spitzer to play a character that’s nothing like the thoughtful and charming Jonah. In fact, his alter ego might remind you of another Feldman role: Silicon Valley’s smarmy lawyer, Ron LaFlamme.
