The new comedy series will join the network's Thursday night comedy line-up, and we have the first look.

"But instead of spending his time in office helping the people that got him elected, he lost his way amidst the power and glamour of politics."

"When his downward spiral got him busted for public intoxication (and downright stupidity), it was all caught on tape and ended his career. Now, Garrett’s crashing with his sister, Mallory, and wondering where it all went wrong."

"That is, until he’s hired by a diverse group of hopefuls who dream of becoming American citizens and believe he can help – giving him a new sense of purpose and a chance for redemption, as long as he remembers where he came from."
