Comedy Central has picked up Sports Show with Norm Macdonald and placed an 8-episode order for the show. The new series is slated to begin production this month and is scheduled to premiere in April.
Sports Show with Norm Macdonald will feature Macdonald’s unique and comedic take on the most topical and controversial stories from the sports world. Taped in front of a live studio audience, the fast-paced and informative show will cover all sports — from the popular to the obscure.
“I’m excited and look forward to doing this series,” said Macdonald. “On this show, we plan to put the central back in Comedy Central.”
In addition, his upcoming original one-hour special, Norm Macdonald: Me Doing Stand-Up premieres on Saturday, March 12 at 11pm.
