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"
A stand-up special starring John Oliver ("The Daily Show with Jon Stewart") produced by Dakota Entertainment. Premieres April 20 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Hot stuff.

Via Dead-Frog comes an interview by Jake Klocksien with Daniel Tosh, whose first Comedy Central Presents just aired on Sunday. Here's a little:

Nearly all stand-up comedians have horror stories when they talk about the first time they performed in front of an audience. Was your first set any different?

DANIEL TOSH: I had a 17 minute standing ovation after my first set. Ok, what really happened was that I looked in an Orlando newspaper when I was 19, found an open-mic night. I just assumed it was for comedy, turns out it was for music. They said "Sure you can do stand-up." It was also a contest, so I had to pay $10 and the audience, which was the people eating in the restaurant that night would judge it. After my second joke I was getting rim shots from the drummer who was setting up. I didn't stick around but I assume I won, so if you ran that room and are reading this, send me my f*cking $80 first prize, a**hole!
