Adam Devine, co-star of the hit COMEDY CENTRAL series
"Workaholics," is taking the party to the next level as the channel
has ordered eight episodes of a stand-up series, "Adam Devine's House
Party," it was announced today by Kent Alterman, President, Content
Development and Original Programming, COMEDY CENTRAL. The series will spotlight 24 of Devine's
favorite up-and-coming comedians and is slated to premiere on COMEDY CENTRAL
this fall. Produced by Avalon
Television, "Adam Devine's House Party" is executive produced by
Devine, Avalon's Jon Thoday, Richard Allen-Turner, David Martin, Isaac Horne,
and fellow "Workaholic" Kyle Newacheck, who will also direct the
series.
"It's hard to imagine what could go wrong by giving
Adam so much money and turning him loose in a mansion to throw a house party,
but we are sure to find out," said Alterman.
"I don't know how I convinced COMEDY CENTRAL to give
me another show, a Hollywood mansion and a paycheck for hanging out with my
friends," said Devine. "I hope
they have a good lawyer and the fire department on speed dial."
Combining stand-up and narrative sketches, "Adam
Devine's House Party" invites viewers inside Devine's Los Angeles mansion
where each week three of his favorite up-and-coming comedians hang out at his
massive house party and do stand-up in the backyard. Christian McLaughlin and Toni Magon are the
Executives in Charge of Production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
