'The Barbarian and the Troll' Sends Its Heroes on a Dangerous Quest in New Sneak Peek

The Barbarian and the Troll's Brendar and Evan begin their dangerous quest across Gothmoria in a new clip from Nickelodeon's brand new puppet comedy.


Evan and Brendar begin their dangerous quest in an awesome clip from an episode of Nickelodeon's The Barbarian and the Troll, courtesy of CBR!


The clip picks up as the musical bridge troll Evan (played by Drew Massey of Mutt & Stuff and Sid the Science Kid) is given the opportunity to join Brendar (Spencer Grammer of Rick & Morty) on her quest across Gothmoria. However, Brendar quickly regrets letting Evan join her as he is quickly caught in the middle of a spider web. "It's not my fault giant spiders leave their webs everywhere," Evan says in defense. "There should be a law."

After chopping Evan down with her ax, Brendar beings to explain to him how Gothmoria is a dangerous place, and he can't walk around with his heads in the clouds. Unfortunately, once Brendar turns around she discovers that Evan is once again caught in another spider web. "Tastes like spider-flavored chewing gum," Brendar's ax says. The clip ends with Evan in another dangerous predicament when he's eaten by a hungry tree.

In the premiere of The Barbarian and the Troll, Evan the troll decides to burn his bridge and venture out into the world of Gothmoria for the first time to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a singer. He soon meets Brendar, who had been expelled from the Royal Order of Warrior Princesses and is now known as a “feared and revered” barbarian. After Evan convinces Brendar to bring him on her quest to vanquish the evil demon, they cross treacherous terrain to confront bizarre and magical creatures and encounter an eclectic puppet cast of wacky characters.

The Barbarian and the Troll stars Spencer Grammer, Drew Massey, Colleen Smith, Allan Trautman, Sarah Sarang Oh, Nicolette Santino, Peggy Etra, James Murray, Jeny Cassady and Gina Yashere. The series, co-created by Mike Mitchell, who also serves as director, and Drew Massey premieres Friday, April 2 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon.

Young Dylan to Perform in Annapolis' First Juneteenth Festival

Annapolis plans Juneteenth festival and parade as Maryland inches toward making it a holiday

Annapolis has announced that is planning to hold what they believe will be Maryland’s first Juneteenth festival, a two-day celebration of the Emancipation of Black Americans planned for June 18 and 19.


Mayor Gavin Buckley with Alderwoman Sheila Finlayson and the Annapolis Juneteenth Celebration organization executive director Phyllis “Tee” Adams announced the tentative details of the Juneteenth Parade and Festival at a City Dock news conference.

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, marking the day in 1865 that enslaved people in Texas learned they had been legally freed by the Emancipation Proclamation two years earlier. It is also known as the second Independence Day and Emancipation Day.

Annapolis once was a prime port for the slave trade in America. Maryland ended slavery in October 1864 with the approval of the state’s third constitution.

The Maryland House this since passed a House Bill 0448, sponsored by Del. Andrea Fletcher Harrison, D-Prince George’s, that would make Juneteenth a state holiday. The Senate Health, Education and Environmental Matters Committee held a hearing on the bill last week.

The Juneteenth celebration was unanimously approved by The City of Annapolis in Resolution 51-20, which was proposed by Buckley and Finlayson.

On June 19, 2020, some 500 people gathered downtown to honor the date during a season of protests and rallies over police violence against Black People. The date was also marked by history presentations around the area.

The 2021 parade, tentatively scheduled pending COVID-19 health restrictions, will commence at the Annapolis City Dock at noon, home to the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Memorial. Haley’s 1976 novel, “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” tells his family story about the arrival of an ancestor in Annapolis as an enslaved man. The story is celebrated with the Kunte Kinte Heritage Festival, currently scheduled for September.

The celebration will move towards the Bates Athletic Complex, where the festival will continue from 2 p.m., until dusk, according to a statement released by the organizers on Sunday, March 28.

Live musical performances include The Chuck Brown Band, Young Dylan from Tyler Perry’s hit Nickelodeon comedy, and other musicians. There will be an array of local vendors, food, art from the community.

Annapolis is already planning for a resumption of the July Fourth parade as a sign of returning to normalcy after the COVID-19 pandemic has ebbed.
