Incredible Crew is an American sketch comedy television series, created by Nick Cannon for Cartoon Network.[1] Cannon created the series in early 2012, and the series aired as a preview on December 31, 2012, while the series run premiered on January 24, 2013, featuring a 22-minute run time.[2] On July 29, 2013, Incredible Crew was cancelled by Cartoon Network.[3] It was the final live-action TV series to air on Cartoon Network before the channel discontinued live-action programming in 2014.

Plot

Incredible Crew is a live-action sketch comedy series from producer and entertainer Nick Cannon. Episodes consist of short-form surreal comedy acts, hidden camera pranks, original music videos, and commercial parodies using non-sequitur humor. Incredible Crew casts six young comedy stars: Shauna Case (American Horror Story), Shameik Moore (Joyful Noise), Tristan Pasterick (guest star, I'm in the Band), Chanelle Peloso (Level Up), Jeremy Shada (Adventure Time), and Brandon Soo Hoo (Supah Ninjas). Nick Cannon serves as executive producer of Incredible Crew along with Michael Goldman and Scott Tomlinson. The series is produced by Cartoon Network Studios in association with N'Credible Entertainment.
