Michaels Showalter and Ian Black Getting Sketch Show
Since Daily Show and Colbert are available online, and I've lost some of my desire to see Ghostbusters II four times in one day, I don't find myself watching Comedy Central much (ever) anymore, and no amount of 3 a.m. Reno 911 reruns could bring me back. This might though: a new Michael Showalter/Michael Ian Black sketch show! From THR.
Comedy Central is moving forward with the sketch comedy "Michael and Michael Have Issues," picking up the project to pilot and adding Josh Pais to the cast."Michael," from Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter ("The State"), is a half-hour project with segments addressing issues that the two men have with themselves, each other and the world at large. Pais plays Jim Biederman, the executive producer for the duo's show within a show. The character takes the name from an actual exec producer on the Comedy Central project.
I haven't even seen an episode and I'm already looking forward to drunkenly explaining to people how this was prematurely cancelled.
