Production Complete on New Comedy Central Pilot
Production wrapped up over the weekend on a BIG STUDIO pilot co-written by a stable of young up-and-coming writers and comics. Although he couldn't divulge specifics at this time, we asked contributing writer to The Onion, Sam Means--who has been in LA working on the show for several months--to tell us what it's about and who all is involved.
It's a sports show pilot for Comedy Central hosted by Daily Show writer Paul Mecurio, and written by me, Dave Saraiva of The Brushback, Peter Grosz from Second City, Nick Kroll, and Krister Johnson from God's Pottery. Casey Wilson from Rode Hard And Put Away Wet was our field reporter, too. And I gotta say, it turned out really, really well.
The Apiary caught up with Nick Kroll--award winning co-host of the weekly NYC variety show, Welcome to Our Week--and sought out a brief description of his involvement on the program:
I was contributing material for the show from New York and then I went out to LA for a wedding and some meetings. I gave 'em a call before going out there and, against their better judgement, they had me come in to help out. It was lots of fun. Said goodbye to the crew last night, felt like the last night of camp.
According to Sam, once editing is complete, they'll present it to the Comedy Central execs and then pray that it gets picked-up. Read his official wrap-up announcement.
