MTV will try scripted comedy again in April
Published Tuesday, February 27, 2007 by seanlmccarthy | E-mail this post
Over the past few years, MTV has relied more and more on "reality" programming, so it came as a surprise to me today to read that the network formerly known for music television will launch a new scripted sketch comedy series this spring. Watch this preview of Human Giant, featuring Aziz Ansari, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer and Jason Woliner. It'll premiere April 5.
