'Super Fun Night' Premiere Won't Be The Pilot, Episode 2 Subbed In

'SUPER' BIG SWITCH
Open Image Modal

"Super Fun Night" won't premiere with the show's pilot (the first produced episode). Instead, the Rebel Wilson show will debut with its second episode.

In the episode, "Anything for Love," Wilson's Kimmie must face her biggest fear: singing in public. The episode features Wilson's "Bridesmaids" co-star Matt Lucas in a guest starring role. The singing is no doubt an attempt to capitalize on Wilson's "Pitch Perfect" breakout role. ABC even produced a music video for the series.

The pilot introduced viewers to Kimmie and her new job, her friends, Marika (Lauren Ash) and Helen-Alice (Liza Lapira), and featured the changing of their "Super Fun Night" tradition. The original first episode was met with unfavorable reviews.

"Super Fun Night" premieres Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 9:30 p.m. ET.
