UPDATE: Jack McBrayer is back and bringing excitement to Season 2 of the hit reality show Zillow Gone Wild, premiering on July 18, 2023, at 9:30 p.m. on HGTV and streaming on Max. McBrayer, famed for his role as Kenneth Parcell on 30 Rock, is set to showcase even more extravagant properties, raising the stakes for viewers.
In an exclusive interview with The Post, McBrayer, 52, revealed his enthusiasm for the new season, indicating that viewers can expect to see “more expensive properties” that allow for “bigger risks and bigger swings.” The show, inspired by the popular Instagram account @ZillowGoneWild, features McBrayer touring bizarre homes like a Pennsylvania residence designed to resemble a giant shoe and an off-the-grid facility in New Mexico made from recycled materials.
McBrayer emphasized his genuine reactions while filming, stating, “It is a surprise. Our director insisted that I not even look at the outside as we were driving up.” He humorously noted, “I looked insane, I’m sure,” adding that the lack of preparation makes his experience unique.
The beloved actor, who shares a similar cheerful demeanor to his 30 Rock character, expressed gratitude for his career, saying, “I’m so glad I got any job in the first place.” He remains connected to his 30 Rock co-stars, often celebrating their birthdays together and maintaining those bonds nearly twenty years after the show’s debut.
When asked which former co-star he would want on Zillow Gone Wild, McBrayer immediately named Tracy Morgan, recalling a time Morgan had to leave the set early due to a leaking shark tank. “Now, Tracy Morgan would be a person who would be featured on ‘Zillow Gone Wild,’” he said, hinting at the fun and unpredictable nature of the show.
As the excitement builds for the new season, McBrayer shared that his upbeat personality presents challenges for the editing team. “At one point, the editors reached out to me and were like, ‘Okay, now Jack, we have to explore different ways to be astonished,’” he joked. His infectious enthusiasm has even led to fans playing a drinking game based on his frequent exclamations of “wow.”
The premiere of Zillow Gone Wild promises to deliver more outrageous homes and entertaining surprises, ensuring viewers stay engaged. McBrayer’s authentic charm and humor continue to resonate with fans, making this season one to watch closely.
