Amazon Prime's "Jack Ryan" TV series has been REALLY intriguing...and it's never even aired a second.

First there's the casting of John Krasinski in the character already portrayed on-screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine. Look, I LOVE "The Office." And Jim, he's not just my favorite character, I feel like I AM JIM every day I come into the radio station.

That being said, I'm gonna have to be sold on "Jim" fighting terrorists, bleeding, and being shot at.

Another interesting tidbit about this show is that it has already been renewed for a second season. Oh, did I mention that it has yet to see the light of a broadcast day for season one?!

Anyway, I'm REALLY psyched to see this thing. Here's the latest trailer for the series that launches on August 31.

Charlie Nance is the Afternoon Drive co-host (along with his wife) of "The Charlie and Debbie Show" at WSOC, Country 1037 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The couple have been with the radio station since 2006. Charlie has won the prestigious CMA (Country Music Association) Award for Radio Personality of the Year and has been a finalist for the Country Radio Hall of Fame four times. Prior to his time in Charlotte, Charlie (along with Debbie) spent more than a decade hosting successful morning radio shows in Greenville, SC; Augusta, Ga; and Birmingham, Al. As a content creator for Country 1037, Charlie writes about dream lottery windfalls, sports, restaurants and bars, and travel experiences in North and South Carolina.
