GREENLIGHTS
Showtime has announced a four-part documentary series examining the 47-year history of the iconic LA club The Comedy Store, expected to premiere on the channel in 2020. The doc will give never-before-seen footage and interviews about some of the legendary comedy comics that got their start in the club, like David Letterman, Jay Leno, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey and more. Former stand-up comic Mike Binder (“Black or White”) will direct the film and Mike Tollin (“The Franchise”) will executive produce.
Comedy troupe Dr. God, streaming site DrinkTV and Shout! Studios have partnered to create “Hell Den,” an animated series that mixes old cartoons with absurd commentary in a twisted parody of classic animation. The six-episode series takes place after the apocalypse wipes out civilization, but one 12-year-old boy survives and is joined by a fifth horseman of the apocalypse, a cyborg, an alien and a giant to watch cartoons. The show will premiere in May.
