» Okay, here's the "Situation" |
|

 Bob Odenkirk has confirmed on the Bob and David website that the HBO sitcom pilot "David's Situation" will not be going to series. Given the low success rate of pilots, this shouldn't be too surprising, but in a somewhat unique turn of events, it seems the decision to abort the series was made not by some mustache-twisting network executive, but by Bob and David themselves. After describing the pilot taping as "inspiring," Bob writes that he and David "just lost interest in the overall concept," adding that "the sitcom framework really felt like a drag on our energy and sensibility."
The good news is it sounds like HBO is still interested in a new Bob and David TV show, and Bob and David are clearly still interested in doing one, albeit with fewer (if any) structural limitations. Bob concludes his post on this uplifting note:
Quote:
It's really crazy of us not to create something, and it's also crazy to lay a framework of any kind over our voice that slows it down. Not many people can do what David and I can do...suggest a show that is mostly free-form, chasing ideas, and have that ambiguous description make perfect sense.
So we are working on it. Not sure where it will go, or how we will put it together. But it all comes from having done "David's Situation", and I do hope our fans will get a chance to see it one day. You fantastic, amazing, wondrificul comedy nerdles.

» Doug Benson - Professional Humoredian |

ASPECIALTHING RECORDS is proud to present the debut solo CD from Mr. Doug Benson!
Whether you know him from VH1's "Best Week Ever," NBC's "Last Comic Standing" or his documentary "Super High Me," chances are Doug Benson has made you laugh before. Now he will make you laugh again, repeatedly, with his first full-length solo comedy album, "Doug Benson: Professional Humoredian." Recorded live at the world-famous Hollywood Improv, "Professional Humoredian" catches Doug at his loosest, silliest and most hilarious. Playing to a rowdy sold-out house on 4/20, Doug tears through his set with wild abandon, delivering material on such wide-ranging topics as movies, politics, relationships, anti-drug campaigns and the miracle of modern science known as McGriddles. A perennial favorite among comedy aficionados, Doug placed sixth on Season Five of "Last Comic Standing" and was named "Stoner of the Year" by High Times Magazine in 2006. Patton Oswalt calls him "prolific ... a resin-scented miracle." One listen and you'll understand why Doug has won such acclaim: witty, charming, relentless and irrepressible, Doug Benson is a Professional Humoredian.
DOUG BENSON: PROFESSIONAL HUMOREDIAN will be released on July 15th. Come celebrate the occasion at a very special Comedy Death Ray that night!
