Not Satire: The Onion Gets a TV Deal With Comedy Central →
America’s most trusted satire newspaper and website, The Onion, has been steadily moving into online video in the past few years (with many hilarious pokes at the Web, the iPhone, and social media along the way).
Now, the outfit has landed a very real deal with Comedy Central to develop a pilot for a show based on its Onion Sports Network (OSN) videos.
According to a statement put out by the companies, “the as-yet untitled series will take on the whole universe of modern sports – teams, players, leagues, sycophantic fans, ridiculous products and over-hyped sports coverage – with an eye towards appealing to sports fanatics and more casual fans.”Now, the outfit has landed a very real deal with Comedy Central to develop a pilot for a show based on its Onion Sports Network videos.
