The first episode of "Blunt Talk," a new Starz comedy series featuring Patrick Stewart as a Bill O'Reilly-ish right-wing talk show host, has officially dropped -- and a whole week sooner than expected.

Stewart surprised his fans Saturday when he uploaded the video to his Facebook page, accompanying it with the note: "My character Walter Blunt's behavior is a little embarrassing in this episode, but I am proud of the show."

Watch that first episode in full below:
