David Letterman’s ‘Stupid Pet Tricks’ Is Getting Its Own Series The Late Show With David Letterman went off the air in 2015 but let’s face it: Pets didn’t just stop doing stupid tricks just because their best TV outlet for them went away. Thankfully, Stupid Pet Tricks is coming back as its own series where pets can once again do the dumb stuff they enjoy. Via press release, TBS announced they have greenlit a new Stupid Pet Tricks series based on the long-running comedy bit from The Late Show and, before that, Late Night With David Letterman. According to the release, “each episode features a parade of pets performing the most ridiculous, impressive, and extraordinary tricks on a studio stage before a live audience, interweaving comedic bits along with games and surprise celebrity guest drop-ins, as pet parents join their furry (or scaley!) friends in the quest to be crowned with the coveted title –Stupidest Trick of the Week.”
