Incredible Crew is an American sketch comedy television series, created by Nick Cannon for Cartoon Network. Cannon filmed the pilot in late 2011 as originally Class Clowns and was later greenlit with its finalized name, and the series aired as a sneak peek on December 31, 2012 to April 11, 2013, featuring a 22-minute run time.
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
Incredible Crew is a live-action sketch comedy series from producer and entertainer Nick Cannon.
