"The Norm McDonald Reality Show" coming soon to FX

[BillBrasky]

In a recent interview with Express Milwaukee, Norm McDonald spilled the beans a little bit about his upcoming comedy/reality show on the cable network FX. "The Norm MacDonald Reality Show" doesn't have a set premiere date yet, but as Norm explains:

The premise is my career has fizzled into oblivion, so they give me a reality show, which I reluctantly take. So I have to date the Barbie Twins and do all this weird, retarded stuff. Now, I don't know how to drive in real life -my actual life- so in the show, they teach me to get a license, but maybe they get Lee Ermey to teach me; you know, some twist. Anyway, so during the driving lesson, I accidentally kill the teacher. And then all hell breaks lose. I start to become famous again, and the show becomes a hit, and the trial starts. I get my fame that I didn't want in the first place. But there's a lot of funny stuff in it.

Norm previously had two short-lived sitcoms on network TV, "The Norm Show" on ABC from 1999 to 2001, and "A Minute With Stan Hooper" on FOX in 2003.
