*TV anchor Sage Steele has taken over the role previously held by Candace Owens in the voice cast of The Daily Wire’s forthcoming animated sitcom, “Mr. Birchum.”
Deadline reports that Steele will play Deena in the series created by Adam Carolla. Owens was initially tapped to play the role, but she is no longer involved with the project after exiting The Daily Wire last month amid accusations of being anti-Semitic.
The voice cast includes Carolla, Megyn Kelly, Brett Cooper, Roseanne Barr, Danny Trejo, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer, Alonzo Bodden, Kyle Dunnigan, and Jay Mohr.
“When I got the call from Adam and the Daily Wire team to be part of Mr. Birchum, it was a no-brainer for me!” said Steele.
“I’m a huge fan of everyone involved and am honored to be included in such a powerhouse lineup of comedians,” she added. “In this insane cultural moment, it’s more important than ever to speak the truth, even when it’s unpopular. Mr. Birchum does this in such a hilarious fashion, and I’m thrilled to be part of such a fun, unapologetic project.”
