He would not eat them in a house. He would not eat them with a mouse. Michael Douglas lends his voice to the classic curmudgeon, Guy Am I, in the trailer for Netflix’s upcoming “Green Eggs & Ham” animated series, out Nov. 8.
“Pitch Perfect” star Adam Devine voices the resourceful Sam I Am, who will stop at nothing to convince Douglas to try them. You can watch the trailer above.
Based on the beloved book by Dr. Seuss and executive produced by Ellen DeGeneres, the new show will be lead by Devine, Douglas, Ilana Glazer, Diane Keaton, Eddie Izzard, Tracy Morgan, Keegan-Michael Key, Jeffrey Wright, Jillian Bell, John Turturro and Daveed Diggs.
“Green Eggs and Ham” follows opposites “Guy” (Douglas) and “Sam” (Adam Devine) as they venture out on a road trip to save an endangered animal from a far off zoo. Along the way they learn to try new things like hope, friendship, and a certain delectable dish.
Here is the official synopsis from Netflix:
The story of Green Eggs and Ham is like a postmodern Plains, Trains and Automobiles through the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss. Sam rescues the rare Chickeraffe from the Glurfsburg Zoo, hides it in a briefcase, and attempts to make his way to Meepville where he can charter a cold air balloon to take the Chickeraffe to his island home. Guy just flopped his last big chance at being a world famous inventor for the industrial Snerz Co. He packs up his invention in a briefcase and resigns to give up on his dreams and become a paint watcher.
A chance meeting at a diner with Sam, and a switch up with the briefcases results in these two unlikely souls getting mixed up on an adventure that takes them on a journey of self discovery.
Our two mismatched heroes cross paths with overprotective Michellee, whose daughter, EB, desperately wants a pet, and falls madly in love with the Chickeraffe… despite her mother’s fears that it will eat off her face (it won’t). Michellee’s walled up heart also connects with the heart-hardened Guy. And a laborious love story begins.
Our fakakta foursome are also unknowingly pursued by a bounty hunter goat, two bad guys, and a villain who’s out to get the Chickeraffee as his ultimate trophy.
The show is created and executive produced by Jared Stern, with DeGeneres, Sam Register, Mike Karz (Gulfstream TV), David Dobkin and Jeff Kleeman. The project hails from Warner Bros. Animation.
“Green Eggs and Ham” premieres Nov. 8 on Netflix.
Halloween 2019: Morning TV Hosts Catch Disco Fever (Photos)
"Today" (NBC)
At NBC's "Today" -- which is still being haunted by the ghosts of Matt Lauer and Megyn Kelly -- Savannah Guthrie and Carson Daly went as Danny and Sandy. Hoda Kotb also channeled John Travolta, but chose "Saturday Night Fever" over "Grease." Classic movies proved popular for the whole show, actually: Jenna Bush Hager and Willie Geist took on "Dirty Dancing," while Peter Alexander cut "Footloose."

"Good Morning America" (ABC)
ABC's "Good Morning America" wasn't just "Footloose": The whole cast had a 1970s-themed dance party, DJ'd by George Stephanopoulos. Co-anchors Robin Roberts (Donna Summer) and Michael Strahan (The Bee Gees) boogied with Lara Spencer (Liza Minnelli), Ginger Zee (Olivia Newton-John) Amy Robach (Cher), Sara Haines (Sonny), Sam Champion (The Village People), Whit Johnson and Gio Benitez (The Bee Gees) to disco classics.

"Morning Express" (HLN)
Disco made a third appearance during HLN's "Morning Express," but so, too, did "Pretty Woman" and... a mashup of Terminator and Mary Poppins?

"Fox and Friends" (Fox News)
Also on cable, "Fox and Friends" hosts joined forces with Party City for a "patriotic" theme. Steve Doocy was Uncle Sam. Ainsley Earhardt was the Constitution. You see where this is going.

"The View" (ABC)
The panelists from "The View" took inspiration from Stephen King novels: Whoopi Goldberg channeled Church, the cat from "Pet Semetary," Abby Huntsman dressed up as bloodied prom queen "Carrie," Sunny Hostin was nearly unrecognizable as Pennywise from "It," while Joy Behar and Meghan McCain -- who often clash -- ironically portrayed the Grady sisters from "The Shining."

"Strahan, Sara, and Keke" (ABC)
Michael Strahan, Sara Haines and Keke Palmer were a terrifying trio of monsters.

"The Real" (Syndicated)
The ladies of "The Real" were inspired by recent Met Gala looks: Adrienne Houghton was a pretty-in-pink Lady Gaga, Loni Love channeled Lizzo, Tamera Mowry-Housley made an angelic Katy Perry, while Jeannie Mai donned a replica of Rihanna's infamous omelet gown.
