Comedy Central has picked up David Alan Grier’s fake magazine news show, Chocolate News (working title) after almost two years it was added to their development slate, which will premiere in the first quarter of 2009. The network also picked up the reality show spoof, Reality Bites (working title) which will feature comedians in an elimination-style “reality” competition where every episode is a self-contained spoof of one of the major reality formats, such as “Are You Smarter Than A Monkey?,” “So You Think You Can Dive!,” “Almost American Gladiators” and “The Amazing Disgrace.” The winner will end up being the “last comic standing” and will win a cash prize.
