Showtime has announced that it will premiere the new six-episode comedy series tentatively titled, Behind the Green Room Door in 2010. Hosted by comedian Paul Provenza, the director and co-producer of the behind-the-scenes comedy documentary The Aristocrats, Behind the Green Room Door offers viewers an opportunity of a lifetime to witness the hilarious exchanges between comic legends who span several generations and for some, are meeting their own comedy idols for the first time.
The comedians featured in the series include Jonathan Winters, Eddie Izzard, Roseanne Barr, Drew Carey, Robert Klein, Penn Jillette, Martin Mull, Tommy Smothers, Bob Saget, Sandra Bernhard, Andy Dick, Rain Pryor, Rick Overton, Paul Mooney, Bobby Slayton, Jim Jefferies, Patrice O’Neal, Andy Kindler, Dana Gould, Brendon Burns, Larry Miller, and Reginald D. Hunter — as well as new, fresh faces.
Each episode features comedians in a spontaneous, uncensored format. They share personal anecdotes, intimate thoughts and spur-of-the-moment, no-holds-barred comedy that — until now– only happens when comedians get together in private.
