By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/5/2008 8:39:00 AM

MyNetworkTV has slated Wednesdays at 8:30 for new comedy/reality series The Tony Rock Project (Langley and C To The B Productions).

 The show, targeted for a fall 2008 launch, features Rock, brother of comedian Chris Rock, combining street interviews and hidden-camera segments to comment on the passing parade of prejudices and hang-ups.

 It will serve as a lead-out to Flavor Flav comedy Under One Roof , which airs at 8 on Wednesday and is co-produced by C to the B Productions.

 Tony Rock will occupy the slot currently held by In Living Color.
