Episodes Preview: Matt LeBlanc On Playing Matt LeBlanc

This Sunday night, Showtime will premiere the new 30-minute comedy series Episodes starring Matt LeBlanc. We have some clips from the premiere as well as a video featuring LeBlanc as he talks about playing himself.

Episodes follows Sean (Stephen Mangan) and Beverly (Tamsin Grieg), a British married couple who find themselves having as difficult a time adapting to Hollywood culture as they are in adapting their hit BBC TV series for an American audience. You'll get a sample of the show's humor and the excellent on-screen talent in the two episode clips below. Before we get to those, this video interview with Matt LeBlanc lays out the plot of the series as well as the difference between himself and his character (himself).

Here are the clips from the premiere:
