American Auto is a brand new sitcom from NBC that debuted in the fall of 2021. The series centers around one of the country's largest car companies and the dysfunctional team that works together to keep the business running. The series stars an ensemble cast of comedic actors, including Ana Gasteyer, Harriet Dyer, and Jon Barinholtz, as well as many other talented performers.

The show follows the daily struggles of the team at Payne Motors, a fictional car company that is known for its history of creating some of the most reliable and successful vehicles on the market. However, as times change and new competitors emerge, the company must learn to adapt and come up with new ideas in order to stay ahead of the curve.

At the center of this struggle is the new CEO, Katherine Hastings (Gasteyer), who is tasked with turning the company around and making it profitable once again. She is a focused and driven businesswoman who is not afraid to make tough decisions, but also has a soft side that she reveals to her employees as the series progresses.

Other key players in the show include Ben (Barinholtz), the head of marketing who has a talent for coming up with catchy slogans and campaigns, but struggles with interpersonal relationships, and Sam (Dyer), who is the daughter of one of the company's former executives and initially struggles to find her place on the team.

Throughout the series, viewers will get to see the inner workings of Payne Motors, including the board meetings, marketing campaigns, and daily office politics. The show also dives into the personal lives of the characters, exploring their relationships with each other and their families, and how their work lives affect their personal lives.

One of the unique aspects of American Auto is that it features a diverse cast of characters, something that is often lacking in other sitcoms. The creators of the show have made a conscious effort to feature characters from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities, which makes the show feel more authentic and inclusive.

Overall, American Auto is a fun and light-hearted sitcom that is perfect for anyone who enjoys workplace comedies.
