Ready to feel old? It’s been nearly four years since Mike Myers hosted The Gong Show, ABC’s reboot of the famed talent show that Myers led as the character Tommy Maitland. The graduating class of 2022 met Maitland at the start of their journey, but where is he now? Maitland abandoned them.
Since then, sure, we’ve seen Myers reprise some of his classic characters for Uber Eats and General Motors. As for a follow-up to the beloved comedy The Love Guru, though, it’s been much longer.
Armed with a whole new arsenal of prosthetics, Myers returns to the style of comedy that made him a star. In his new series, The Pentaverate, he plays the leaders of an Illuminati-esque global conspiracy, as well as various members of news agencies, fringe-political groups, and more to expose their dastardly deeds.
What if a secret society of five men has been working to influence world events for the greater good since the Black Plague of 1347? As this new series begins, one unlikely Canadian journalist finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and just possibly save the world himself. Remember, the Pentaverate must never be exposed!
