The producers of American Idol are kicking off a new weekly talent show for NBC, only this one is a battle of improv wits instead of musical talent. While it's hard to get excited about any form of comedy coming from the people that bring you the most overrated, sickly-sweet, hard-to-swallow show on TV, keep in mind that they're aligning themselves with some funny-ass people, namely host David Alan Grier and head judge Dave Foley. Add in the fact that the pilot features movie improv queen Jennifer Coolidge, Malcolm in the Middle standout Bryan Cranston, Seinfeld's Wayne Knight, and The Soup's Joel McHale, and hey, you've got yourself a nice looking show.
Six episodes of Thank God You're Here are in production, and will presumably start airing this fall.
