Comedy Central Signs On Ron White And Joey Kern

TV Series - Tuesday October 27, 2009



Funny men destined for two separate projects



Comedy Central has rounded up some new talent for the channel in the shape of comedian Ron White and The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang's Joey Kern.

White - best known for his work on Blue Collar Comedy, as well as stints on Kath & Kim (US) and Reno 911! - is set for an animated project called Hounds, described as a neo-gothic Southern laugher, written by Ladies Man Chris Thompson.

White's character will be a chicken who mentors the locals of the small town like "a countrified Yoda with a bottle of Jack and a bag of weed." According to White, the chicken will be "an opinionated Southern philosopher who considers himself the centre of the universe."
 
Kern - who is currently taking on the big screen as a boyband member alongside Ed Helms in The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard - takes the lead in a pilot for the network called Ghosts/Aliens, which sounds as if it could be the next installment of the Alien franchise where ghouls take on Geiger's monsters.

Looks like we'll be tuning in for some randomness very soon courtesy of these two boys.
