Guenther Steiner Set to Produce New Hit ‘Workplace Comedy’ Show
Haas team principal Guenther Steiner, famous for his candid moments on Netflix’s Drive to Survive, is branching out into the world of television production. Steiner has been tapped as a non-writing executive producer for a new single-camera workplace comedy show on leading American broadcaster CBS. The fictional series, which is still in the early stages of development, will be set in the world of sport, with the protagonist playing the role of a team boss, inspired by Steiner himself.
The announcement comes as CBS looks to expand its comedy lineup, which has included hit series such as The Big Bang Theory and Everybody Loves Raymond. Steiner’s involvement in the show is expected to bring a fresh and unique perspective to the sports-comedy genre.
Reflecting on his newfound role, Steiner expressed his authenticity and emphasized his lack of acting skills. I just do my job and if they film it all that’s fine, he said. It’s all very transparent. We sometimes make a meal of things but very rarely. It’s real – and we can do that because our owner [Gene Haas] lets us do it.
Steiner’s character on Drive to Survive has earned him a devoted following among Formula 1 fans, who have appreciated his candid and unfiltered approach. His involvement in the TV show is likely to generate significant interest from both motorsport enthusiasts and comedy fans.
While Steiner’s foray into television production is grabbing headlines, his Haas F1 team is facing a challenging season in the motorsport arena. Currently sitting at the bottom of the constructors’ standings, Steiner and his team are gearing up for the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi this weekend.
As fans eagerly await the debut of Steiner’s workplace comedy, there is no doubt that his unique personality and experiences in the world of Formula 1 will make for an entertaining and captivating series. CBS is set to deliver yet another hit, showcasing the humor and camaraderie found in the high-pressure environment of professional sports teams.
With the announcement of Guenther Steiner’s involvement in the upcoming comedy show, fans will have a chance to see their favorite team principal in a whole new light. Steiner’s cult following from Drive to Survive is sure to bring added excitement and intrigue, as viewers eagerly anticipate the launch of this promising new series.
