Part of me is surprised that this deal took this long to happen. But when you watch the recent crop of new shows on the Chortle Network (with the exception of Tosh.0), it really shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Comedy Central has ordered a half-hour scripted pilot based on the Onion’s Sports Network. The OSN is part of the popular satirical magazine’s online TV news network that launched a little under a year ago.
This isn’t the first time the network has tried to do a satirical sports show. Comedy Central also shot a pilot for a Daily Show-esque sports show called Sports Central that died in the pilot stage. This incarnation sounds much more promising since it will spoof not only sports figures and stories, but also the tone and style of sports media. Sweet sassy molassey, this is gonna rock!
