A classic segment from David Letterman s late night television shows is getting a new leash on life, as Stupid Pet Tricks makes its series debut on Sunday.
The new TBS show is hosted by actor and comedian Sarah Silverman , who last year was one of the rotating guest hosts of The Daily Show .
In Sundays premiere, however, she promises that Stupid Pet Tricks will be free of stupid politics.
Some of these animals will blow your mind, and some of these animals will blow the trick, she says. Either way, youre not watching the news.
Fittingly, the show begins with Letterman passing the torch to Silverman by reading a Top Ten List of all the people he tried to hire for the job instead of her.

The initial episodes include a camel, a goat, a horse, dogs and a highly reluctant cat named Charlie.
Theres also Wrinkle the Duck, who plays a strange role in a juggling routine. Unlike Charlie, Wrinkle seems happy to do her job.
