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 sneak peek on December 31, 2012 to April 11, 2013, featuring a 22-minute run time.[2]

This was the final live-action show produced by Cartoon Network until 2021, when Family Mash-Up was announced to be in production. (Family Mash-Up was eventually scrapped, which makes Incredible Crew the last live-action program to date to be made on Cartoon Network.)

## Plot[edit]

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 (Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse), 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. Cartoon Network Studios produced the series in association with N'Credible Entertainment.
