Danny McBride reigns supreme in Kalshi's The Weathermen

With thousands of satellites orbiting our planet and weather forecasts available on devices in every pocket, it's a joyful tradition that, when we want to know whether to pack a brolly, there's still only one person we turn to: The Weatherman.

However, as the bumbling character played by Shane Gillis in this comedic short for event-trading platform Kalshi goes to show, some people just aren't cut out for the predicting lark.

Jealous of fellow meteorologist Danny McBride (who also wrote the piece), Gillis sneaks into his rival's garden, where he discovers the secret to his success: a mysterious, pony-riding oracle played by Deep Roy, with a particular taste for meatloaf and rosemary potatoes. 

Created by es muy good and directed by Randy Krallman through SMUGGLER, this neat sketch is a genuine example of branded entertainment;  McBride's comedic credentials helping to make the whole thing feel more like a proper sketch rather than an extended ad.
