Huzzah! In a brilliant move second only to the brilliant move that resulted in picking up It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia originally, the brass at FX have signed on to produce another outré comedy as a companion to IASIP. Testees (tee hee), written by Kenny Vs. Spenny creator (and former South Park scribe) Kenny Hotz, will focus on two best friends and roommates who are employed as guinea pigs (ie "testees" -- tee hee!) charged with testing all manner of product and medication that has yet to hit the market. As you might imagine, hilarity usually ensues.

The scripted format is a departure for Hotz, whose Kenny vs. Spenny was a largely improved slapstick reality show in with the titular characters were pitted against one another in a series of farcical competitions.

Way to go FX! You're fast becoming not only the gayest channel around, but also the most willing to take risks on experimental comedies. Let's hope your devil-may-care attitude pays off. When it does, don't be surprised if I come a-knockin'. I plan to ride your coat-tails all the way to the top!
