TV Land certainly isn’t throwing shade themselves. Variety reports the network has just ordered a pilot based on the Funny or Die web series Throwing Shade.
Hosted by Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi, the web series takes a look at a humorous glance at all things politics and pop culture.
So far, the Funny or Die series has posted 80 episodes, ranging in topic from gay rights to Benedict Cumberbatch to pot cookies. Gibson and Safi will executive produce the TV Land pilot along with Charlie Siskel and members of the Funny or Die production staff.
From TV Land exec Keith Cox:
We are huge fans of the podcast. Erin and Bryan’s talent and chemistry are undeniable, and with Charlie Siskel on board, we have an even more amazing team. Their unique perspectives belong on TV.”
Here’s a taste of Throwing Shade:
What do you think? Do you watch/listen to Throwing Shade? Would you watch the TV Land series?
This podcast is HILARIOUS. They have amazing chemistry and they banter together so well. They’re never talking over one another and their style of going off onto a fictional tangent is something I’ve never seen. Can’t wait for this!
