The list of celebrities with their own podcasts is getting longer by the day, and Colin Jost and Wanda Sykes are getting ready to start another—by each other’s side. The two beloved comedians will be the voice stars of the upcoming scripted comedy podcast series Trust Fall.

Jost will voice Trent Brockett, a corporate employee whose attempt to land a big promotion during a corporate retreat in Aspen goes terribly wrong. He decides to prove to his bosses he’s a “family man” by finding a perfect woman on a Sugar Daddy app. He finds everything he was looking for in Carla only to find out she’s a bold, brash, much older woman who was trying to catfish him.

Trust Fall will reunite Jost with writer/director Claire Friedman, who also serves as one of Saturday Night Live writers alongside the Weekend Update host.

“I started my career in the business world, so it’s been fun to satirize the absurd corporate culture I lived through. I’ve been on the receiving end of a comedy improv troupe-led teambuilding session, and it has haunted me ever since,” said Friedman in a statement.

Trust Fall will premiere on November 30, and its voice cast also includes Chris Parnell, Neil Patrick Harris, Cecily Strong, Heidi Gardner, Jay Pharaoh, Michael Urie, and Rachel Dratch.
