Swardson lands Comedy Central series
Comedic actor Nick Swardson will star in a sketch comedy series for Comedy Central.

The as-yet-untitled programme will begin production next month and debut in 2010, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The series will feature man-on-the-street segments, digital shorts and animation inspired by the comedian’s character Gay Robot.

"We love Nick at Comedy Central and even more importantly, our audience loves Nick," Comedy Central programming president Lauren Corrao said. "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. We can't wait to expand his creative voice into a sketch series."

"They are great people who understand me creatively. They also are very good looking," the 33-year-old actor said about the network.

Swardson will produce the series with Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions.
