DirecTV Wants Order in Supreme Court of Comedy

The 101 Series to Feature Comedians Acting as 'Judge,' 'Counsel' for Actual Small-Claims Disputes

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 2/6/2008 9:36:00 AM MT

DirecTV is teaming with reality producer Bunim/Murray Productions (TheReal World, Simple Life) and Hollywood comedy club The Laugh Factory on a new series for the satellite service's entertainment channel, The 101.

Supreme Court of Comedy, which debuts March 3, will be a sort of "Punch and Judge Judy" take on the court-show genre, featuring real people with real small-claims disputes brought before a judge and represented by "counsel," all of whom are comedians.

Comedian Dom Irerra will preside, with head-to-head matchups between comedians/counsels including Jamie Kennedy vs. Paul Rodriguez and Tom Arnold vs. Sinbad.
