Upfronts: TBS Feels More Payne, More Less

Tyler Perry's House of Payne by Andrew Eccles/TBS
TBS' half of Turner's Wednesday upfronts presentation kicked off with renewal news for
Tyler Perry's House of Payne (returning in June) and
10 Items or Less. The laugh-centric cabler then announced a development slate featuring:
"
National Banana Already in Progress, a late-night sketch show exec-produced by Jerry Zucker (
Airplane!).
" A scripted comedy produced by Def Jam's
Russell Simmons and starring Run DMC's "Run."
" A half-hour laffer exec-produced by and starring
William H. Macy.
" A late-night reality series which returns middle-aged men to their frat boy days. (And you thought all it took was a case of Pabst.)
" An improv show exec-produced by
Jamie Foxx.
"
Top Ten, which claims to "pit comedians against each other."
