INDIANAPOLIS — Everyone's favorite childhood game and ice-breaker is now a children's TV show!
"Rock Paper Scissors" follows the trio of best friends and roommates through various adventures.
And the titular characters are voiced by stand-up comedians and actors Ron Funches ("Trolls," "Loot"), Thomas Lennon ("Reno 911!," "I Love You, Man") and Carlos Alazraqui ("Reno 911!," "Rocko's Modern Life").
"The roommates are very co-dependent and probably do have a deep amount of love for each other, but we don't really see that until the last 30 seconds of most episodes because the rest of the time, they're really driving each other insane," Lennon said.
In its inaugural season, the guest stars already lined up for "Rock Paper Scissors" include actor Jason Alexander ("Seinfeld"), Grammy winner Alessia Cara, actress Isabela Merced ("Dora and the Lost City of Gold") and actress Carla Gugino ("The Fall of the House of Usher").
"We get a lot of the guests just off the strength of how funny the scripts and how great the show is," Funches said.
Although the TV show is debuting Monday, Feb. 12 at 5:30 p.m. ET on Nickelodeon, the fun adventures of these characters existed in a short series that originally launched in 2019.
"Very early on, after this short, (the vice president of development) said, 'This is testing really well with 10-year-old girls,'" Alazarqui said. "That is a great sign because I don't believe that was the intended target, so upon hearing that, I think it's because it tested very well, it's well written, and I'm guessing Nickelodeon said, 'We've got a great show on our hands. Let's make it.'"
And the interview couldn't conclude without a fun game of rock paper scissors among the cast, which was won in one round by Funches.
New episodes of "Rock Paper Scissors" air weekdays at 5:30 p.m. ET on Nickelodeon.
