The premiere of “Lemon Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events” is just days away, so Patrick Warburton's Lemony Snicket has taken it upon himself to get everyone up to speed with the tragic lives of the Baudelaire children.
Titled "Facts," the show's latest teaser stars Warburton as Lemony Snicket. The "author" spends the trailer breaking down the show's basic plot: Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire are orphaned after their house goes up in flames and their parents die under mysterious circumstances, after which they are then sent to live with the terrible Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris) and a host of other zany relatives.
