AMC RELEASES A SNEAK PEEK CLIP FROM UPCOMING SERIES "TALKING WITH CHRIS HARDWICK"

THE POP CULTURE TALK SHOW DEBUTS ON SUNDAY, APRIL 9TH AT 11:00PM ET/PT WITH ELIJAH WOOD AS FIRST GUEST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - AMC has released a sneak peek clip of the newest series, "Talking with Chris Hardwick," which debuts on Sunday, April 9th at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT featuring Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings trilogy).

Additional guests will be announced soon.

Produced by Embassy Row, each episode of "Talking with Chris Hardwick" features an in-depth conversation between Hardwick and a single guest or cast, highlighting Hardwick's singularly irreverent and authentic take on today's pop culture landscape. Compared with a typical 5 or 10-minute talk show interview, "Talking with Chris Hardwick" will leverage the host's gift for deep conversation, on display in his popular podcast. The show will also have a strong social media presence and live audience interactivity, giving fans a new destination to celebrate their favorite pop culture icons.

"Talking with Chris Hardwick" airs at 11 p.m. on Sunday nights when "The Walking Dead" and "Fear the Walking Dead" are not in season. The series is executive produced by Hardwick, Michael Davies, Brandon Monk, Jen Patton and Brillstein Entertainment Partners' Alex Murray.
