Superstore's Mark McKinney is a mentor, both on and off the screen

The former Kid in the Hall's latest project is the new sitcom Superstore, where he's a mentor both in character and behind the scenes.

He's played a chicken lady, a Catholic priest, and even ex-Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's brother, Doug. So it's pretty safe to say there isn't a role Mark McKinney won't take.

That list now includes injecting some fun into the life of a retail manager at a big box store. The former Kid in the Hall's latest project is the new NBC workplace sitcom, Superstore. He plays family man Glenn: a big-hearted guy with just a bit of a competitive streak.

McKinney joins Shad today to talk about Superstore, and being a mentor both in character on the set, and behind the scenes.
