Friends of the People - Thursday, August 6, at 10:30p.m. (ET/PT)

truTV's first ever sketch comedy series Friends of the People returns for another round of rapid-fire riffs, spot-on parody, and over-the-top characters. The often edgy and irreverent series returns with a whole new collection of topical, political and pop culture-flavored sketches, including "The Dark McKnight" featuring R&B star Brian McKnight, "Game Show Heist" with former Cash Cab host Ben Bailey, and more nostalgic '90s send-ups, including an appearance by former Double Dare host Marc Summers as well as new iterations of last season's favorite sketches including "Lucas Brothering the Movies."

Conceived by the comic minds of Kevin Barnett, Jennifer Bartels, Jermaine Fowler, Lil Rel Howery, The Lucas Bros., and Josh Rabinowitz this season will also feature guest appearances from David Alan Grier, Jim Norton, Rachel Dratch, Ellen Cleghorne, Ed Lover, Doug E. Doug, Jay Bromley, Mick Foley, and many more, along with man-on-the-street segments taped in NYC.

On tonight's episode, FOTP keeps the laughs coming with sketches that include a product pitchman with poor pronunciation, a crime scene cover-up that gets squirrely, and the return of Mr. Huffton, who brings his unique teachings to water safety. Plus, the cast tags in professional wrestlers Jake the Snake, Mick Foley, and X-Pac for some high impact back-up.
