Sanjay and Craig will premiere on May 25, 2013 at 10:30am on Nickelodeon. What’s Sanjay and Craig? It’s a new animated series about best buddies: one a human and one a talking snake.
And the coolness factor of Sanjay and Craig is increased by the fact that Chris Hardwick (The Talking Dead) provides the voice of the smooth-talking, master of disguise snake named Craig. 30 Rock‘s Maulik Pancholy tackles the voice of Sanjay, a 12-year-old boy described as ‘excitable’ – but aren’t all 12-year-old boys excitable?
Season one consists of 20 episodes.
The Plot: Sanjay and Craig’s relationship is an alliance of equals, with Sanjay relying on his best buddy to aid his misadventures through their suburban neighborhood. From perfecting the ultimate bike skid, tightroping across a pool of garbage on a dare, or Craig manipulating a contest to win his best buddy one hundred dogs, their routine hijinks often cross into the land of the fantastical and the absurd. Only Sanjay and his closest friends can hear Craig’s warped words of wisdom.
The only thing that stands in their way is their unhinged, snake-phobic neighbor, Mr. Noodman (Tony Hale), who’s always on the verge of figuring out that Craig can talk. Additional voice actors include Linda Cardellini as Megan, Matt Jones as Hector, and Kunal Nayyar as Vijay.
During the series premiere “Brett Venom MD,” Sanjay and Craig infiltrate the hospital to see the world’s first butt transplant. Then in “Laugh Quake,” the two go on a quest to find the ultimate laugh.
