The big news: Ted Danson is heading to "CSI."
The big question: Is this something that could finally get me to try to watch at least one full episode of "CSI?"
Danson is best known for his comic portayal of Sam Malone on the long-running NBC sitcom "Cheers," and then spent six years heading the CBS sitcom "Becker." But Danson can definitely do drama, as fans of "Damages" can attest (Danson was nominated for an Emmy for playing the rotten CEO, Arthur Furbisher). Danson also currently stars on the HBO series "Bored to Death," and he's absolutely hilarious there, and makes occasional appearances on Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Zach Galifianakis has signed a deal with HBO to produce a new comedy series for the network.
Galifianakis, who already co-stars on HBO's 'Bored to Death' with Ted Danson and Jason Schwartzman, has created (along with Mike Gibbons) a new comedy show starring comedian Brody Stevens to be directed by Jonathan Krisel ('Saturday Night Live,' 'Portlandia').
According to Deadline.com, the new show has already wrapped production.
Deadline describes the new show as a mocumentary starring Stevens as himself, which chronicles one day in the life of the comedian. Galifianakis is expected to guest star on the series.
Galifianakis, a Wilkesboro native who attended NCSU, has had two great guest hosting spots on 'SNL' and stole many scenes in the hit film 'The Hangover.' The sequel, 'The Hangover Part II,' is scheduled for a May 26 release.
