In a now-viral video from this year’s BET Awards, Palmer smoothly averts a teleprompter crisis while teasing the streaming blockbuster that blends high-stakes action with sharp comedy.

Along for the ride in The Pickup are mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell (Eddie Murphy) and Travis (Pete Davidson), who find themselves caught up in Zoe’s casino robbery plot with plans that go way beyond the cash cargo.

Directed by Tim Story (The Blackening, Ride Along, and Barbershop), the surefire streaming hit also stars Eva Longoria, Marshawn Lynch, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i, Andrew Dice Clay, and Ismael Cruz Córdova.

“He’s an icon,” said Story about working with Murphy during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show.

“We hear a lot about comedians talking about how much he’s made an impact on them, [but] sometimes you don’t hear how he’s impacted filmmaking… he’s a big reason why I make the movies I make.”

The Pickup premieres Aug. 6 on Prime Video!
