Get ready for a new comedy podcast starring Kevin Bacon, reports Natalie Jarvey in a scoop for The Hollywood Reporter. The 12-episode fictional podcast, titled “I’m Gonna Be Kevin Bacon,” stars Bacon playing “a heightened version of himself,” the article says.

Jarvey adds, ‘I’m Gonna Be Kevin Bacon,’ which hails from Funny or Die, came out of Bacon’s past work with the digital comedy producer, in which he’s played himself in several satirical projects. Most recently, he directed and starred in mockumentary short ‘A Duck Walks in on a Couple Having Sex,’ which was written by Dan Abramson. ‘I thought Dan’s voice was really funny,’ Bacon tells THR, explaining that he signed onto the podcast after Abramson approached him with the idea. ‘He just makes me laugh.’”
