Remember a couple weeks ago when I told you about Comedy Central's 08/09 development slate? You don't? You lost the ability to create new memories in an attack that left your wife dead? I'm so sorry. Good luck avenging her death in reverse chronological order.
Anyway, two of the shows from the above mentioned development slate have been officially greenlit (greenlighted? greenlaught?):
"David Alan Grier's Chocolate News" (working title) is a fake magazine show hosted by "In Living Color" alum and Tony® Award-nominee David Alan Grier that makes no apologies for its biased approach as it investigates inherently urban pop culture topics such as an operation to save black and white conjoined twins, steroid use in Little Leaguers and a rapper’s public service announcement gone awry. The point-of-view is decidedly from an African American perspective and everyone and everything is fair game for Grier and his regular team of investigators. The series will be executive produced by Grier ("Little Man"), Robert Morton ("Mind of Mencia"), Fax Bahr and Adam Small ("MADtv") and Generate's Peter Aronson and Jordan Levin. Gary Mann is the executive in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
"Reality Bites" (working title) is an over-the-top satirical spoof of the reality genre. The show features comedians in an elimination-style "reality" competition where every episode is a self-contained spoof of one of the major reality formats, such as "Are You Smarter Than A Monkey?," "So You Think You Can Dive!," "Almost American Gladiators" and "The Amazing Disgrace." The winner will end up being the "last comic standing" and will win a cash prize. "Reality Bites" is executive produced by 3Ball Production’s ("The Biggest Loser") J.D. Roth, Todd Nelson and Adam Greener. Dan Powell is the executive in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
