Comedy Central Announces 08/09 Slate!
A deluge of not-yet-greenlit projects in development for Comedy Central has been announced, and there are more than a few gems in the bunch that are piquing my interest. The press release has the full-details, but here are some highlights that are sure to moisten your laugh-loins:
Untitled Andy Richter Sketch Show
A sketch show starring Andy Richter executive produced by Kent Alterman ("Semi-Pro," "Elf") and Tim Sarkes."Speed Freaks"
A scripted show starring Zach Galifianakis and A.D. Miles
about two small town losers who are on the run from a redneck mafia
hit-man after blowing up a local meth lab. As they fumble around the
south trying to find odd jobs and shelter, the faceless hit-man is
always hot on their trail."Michael and Michael Have Issues"
A sketch comedy from comedians Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter
("The State," "Stella"), this show features segments addressing issues
each of the stars has with themselves, each other and the world at
large."John Oliver: Terrifying Times"

Hot stuff.
