Main Line Native Getting Comedy Central Pilot

If you are a comedy fan, chances are you can quote some of the famous lines and jokes from Dave Chappelle's comedy Central show "Chappelle's Show." What you might not know is Chappelle's former writing partner, co producer, and co creator of the hit TV show is a Main Line native and is getting his own Comedy Central show.

Neal Brennan, who was born and raised in Villanova, will be working on a pilot for the comedy network soon, according to a press release from Comedy Central.

Brennan, who's stand up special "3 Mics" debited on Netflix earlier this year, will work on the show with the famous music parody group the Lonely Island, which consists of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone.

The show is tentatively called "Home for the Weekend."

Comedy Central describes the show as such:

"Created, executive produced and hosted by comedian Neal Brennan, this mockumentary-style half-hour follows Neal and a celebrity guest as they take a weekend trip back to the guest’s hometown. In each episode, things veer off the rails and pleasant strolls down memory lane take unexpected turns which reveal surprising backstories and hidden details about high-profile stars. Executive produced by Brennan, Party Over Here’s Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, along with Lindsay Hannon."

"There is more high-level talent in this announcement than I could ever hope to convey in a corporate quote,” Comedy Central President Kent Alterman said in a press release.

Brennan will surely make the Main Line Area proud with his comedy chops.
