wgswardson    Party.

Comedy Central has signed Nick Swardson to his own weekly, half-hour sketch show of digital shorts, animations, and man-on-the-street segments. Lauren Corrao, programming president of Comedy Central, had this to say:

“We love Nick at Comedy Central and even more importantly, our audience loves Nick.  We’ve seen it in his movies, his stand-up, with his ‘Reno 911!’ character ‘Terry,’ and in the work he’s done developing Gay Robot [Ed.- video below].  We can’t wait to expand his creative voice into a sketch series.” [THR]

She added, “We also love the little pet pig he made out of a pink gum eraser and four push pins, and we love his laugh and his neckbeard, and gee his hair smells terrific.”
