Like so many struggling actresses seeking parts as "Big Breasted Girl in Elevator" in Adam Sandler comedies, it seems that Comedy Central has finally succumbed to David Spade's floppy-haired charms. They've signed up his Showbiz Show for a third go-around a full two months earlier than its second-season renewal, giving the comedian another 13 weeks to tie Hollywood to his bedpost and tickle it until it threatens to pee all over his silk, tiger-print sheets. A proud network programming executive sings Showbiz's praises on this special day:
" 'The Showbiz Show' found its voice during the second season and really hit its stride to turn into appointment viewing for our celeb-crazed culture," said Lauren Corrao, Comedy Central executive vp original programming and development. "Our viewers, including celebrities themselves, tune-in to 'Showbiz' each week to get David's incomparable take on the latest Hollywood gossip, scandals and self-obsession."
The story also notes that Spade has also been made a "last-minute addition" to the CBS midseason sitcom Rules of Engagement, a project produced by aforementioned BFF Sandler's Happy Madison. We can't wait for the new season's first installment of Self-Referential Cardboard Puppet Theater (which is always a refreshing break from the self-mocking asides that comprise 50 percent of the show), in which the host's popsicle-stick stand-in and his movie star pal discuss how Spade only got the gig by offering to clean Sandler's pool twice a week until the show is eventually cancelled.
