Hop on board the wiener wagon and take a ride with WIENERS a hysterical and irreverent new comedy - in the tradition of Harold and Kumar and Road Trip. Three friends embark on a zany cross-country road trip filled with oddball characters, strange bodily fluids and, of course, delicious hot dogs for everyone! When happy slacker Joel is publicly humiliated on the 'Dr. Dwayne Show,' he falls into a serious funk until his friends Wyatt and Ben force him to join them on a cross-country road trip. The three guys set out in Wyatt's self-made wiener-wagon to hand out free hot dogs across America, with the hopes that the crazy stunt will land Wyatt his dream job working for Oscar Meyer. As the guys make their way to Los Angeles, they endure a series of misadventures both delicious and nasty, and Joel gets closer to getting even with Dr. Dwayne. Hilarious cast includes Kenan Thompson (TV's 'Saturday Night Live,' Fat Albert), Darrell Hammond (TV's 'Saturday Night Live,' Scary Movie 3, Epic Movie), Jenny McCarthy (John Tucker Must Die, Scary Movie 3) and Andy Milonakis (TV's 'The Andy Milonakis Show').

In this '4th and Forever Overtime' exclusive, hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg catches up with Coach Keith Thompson (aka Slice) and discusses what makes Long Beach Poly High School so important. To Snoop, Poly's programs and coaches teach many young students how to be responsible young men. Snoop was also particularly inspired by Coach Thompson, who started DJing and recording alongside coaching. For an ambitious Poly student like Snoop, seeing someone succeed at and balance two of his major interests was confirmation that big dreams outside of Long Beach weren't just OK, they were attainable. '4th and Forever' chronicles the 2010 football season of Long Beach Polytechnic High School, touted by Sports Illustrated as the 'Sports School of the Century' and boasts the largest roster of high school players who have gone on to the NFL. After decades of success, Poly had a down year in 2009. They had their worst season in 15 years and lost to local rival Lakewood for the first time in over 25 years. After years of being pegged as 'the team to beat,' the aura of invincibility is gone. The players are worried that their hopes for a college scholarship have dimmed. The clock is ticking and the question is: Can Head Football Coach Raul Lara pull the team together for one more season of greatness? And, can the players avoid the temptations of the street, succeed in the classroom, and emerge victorious on the field? Tune in Thursdays at 9/8c for all-new episodes of '4th and Forever.'
