  • Comedy Central's New Slate Brims Over with Ambition | Today's News: Our Take | 3/12/2008
    Comedy Central has announced its upcoming development slate, and it's nothing short of diverse, ambitious and (I hope) hilarious. According to Variety, some of the star-driven pilots include potential series from Snoop Dogg, Andy Richter and David Alan Grier (!), in genres that range from animation to sketch comedy to scripted narratives to flat-out parodies.Snoop, who's apparently on a quest to become the most ubiquitous music artist across the networks, is the subject of an animated pilot that follows his life from his days as little G in the LBC. Grier's pilot will feature the comedian in a magazine show parody, David Alan Grier's Chocolate News, while Richter's potential show stars him in a sketch comedy series.

  • Coming Soon: NBC Clears Improv Hour for Rip-off | Today's News: Our Take | 1/18/2007
    Perhaps never having tried to sit through any 10 minutes of ABC's Whose Line Is It, Anyway?, NBC has ordered six episodes of Thank God You're Here, an improv-comedy series from the producers of American Idol (which is, in its own way, an improv-comedy series). In Living Color alum David Alan Grier will host each hour, with grown-up Kid in the Hall Dave Foley deciding which guest celebrity performs best under a variety of wacky conditions. In other Peacock news, the network has also picked up Identity as a regular series, which means I cannot watch it more frequently. read more
