UPDATE: A previous version of this post erroneously referred to Kate Stark as the former host ofTalk Guys,and incorrectly correlatedTalk Guys’performance withAnimal Talking’s.Game Rant sincerely apologizes for these errors.
By now, many people have heard of or even watched the showAnimal Talking, the talk show that takes place inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons,starring guests likeXbox head Phil Spencer. The show is hosted byRogue Onescreenwriter Gary Whitta, who is taking the show off of hiatus to bring three exciting new guests.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis one of the multiple games that have seen a huge boost in popularity during quarantine and social distancing situations. People have used the game in unconventional ways, like to throw birthday parties for far-off friends and to create unique clothing items that reflect their personalities.

Gary Whitta turned toACNHto start an interview program, which he recently put on hold for hisFall Guysvirtual talk show. Now, Whitta is returning toAnimal Talkingto bring fans more interviews. His three new guests will be former Mixer streamer (and now Twitch streamer again) Shroud, the musical group Gorillaz, andTalk GuysHost Kate Stark.
Whitta mentioned how theAnimal Talkingguests' schedules are complicated enough that the episode was pre-recorded, but will appear as a YouTube Premiere Friday at 7 PM PT. Whitta will be in the live chat to respond to viewers as they watch the stream. Not only were these three guests difficult to schedule at the same time, but they all represent different genres and interests, enough that manyAnimal Talkingfans will hopefully be able to watch at least one interview that excites them.
Shroud is an immensely popular streamerwhose return to Twitch a few months ago has only cemented that virality, and Gorillaz is one of the most well-known virtual acts in the UK. Kate Stark is no stranger to the entertainment industry, as she runs her own Twitch channel.Previous guests on the show have included voice actresses Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey fromThe Last of Us 2, actress Brie Larson, and musician Sting.
Animal Talkingfans can hope that Gary Whitta and his show are here to stay this time, at least for a while. Time will tell if Whitta dabbles in other game-based talk shows likeFall Guys, but until then, hopefully,Animal Talkingwill keep featuring important guestsin new and upcoming episodes.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis available now on Switch.
