Louis C.K. Has A New Show, People!
FX just announced it will be picking up two new series, The League, starring Paul Scheer, Nick Kroll, and Jon LaJoie, and Louis C.K.'s pilot Louie.
The League revolves around a group of longtime guy friends who participate in a fantasy football league. Louie stars comic Louis CK as a standup comic and newly single dad raising two daughters in New York City.
Both shows sound great, but I'm particularly interested in Louie, whose format sounds incredibly unique and original…
Louie is based on the star’s life and will blend standup material with what Landgraf described as "extended vignettes" depicting moments from his offstage experiences. Louis CK is exec producer, writer and helmer of the series…
I wonder why Louis C.K. is calling the show Louie instead of Louis? Other than that, I have no further questions, your honor. I am sold. He is guilty. Guilty of being hilarious! (Nailed it).
The League also sounds like it can be charged with a first degree murder. Murder by laughter! (Nailed it again).
Landgraf described League as a kind of suburban-set Sex and the City for men. The semi-improv show revolves around the lives of a group of college friends as they’re forced to take on more responsibilities as husbands and fathers.
Skein was created by the husband-and-wife duo of Jeff Schaffer (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Jackie Marcus Schaffer, who also exec produce. Ensemble cast includes Mark Duplass, Steve Rannazzisi, Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer and Jon Lajoie.
That is a very good cast. Book 'em, Danno! (So what if I'm making too many law related jokes? Sue me!)
