TV BRIEF
Showtime will reveal comics’ backstage riffsListening in as a group of famous comedians privately riff with one another is usually just a comedy fan’s wildest fantasy. But viewers will experience this rare event in a new six-episode, half-hour comedy series tentatively titled "Behind the Green Room Door,” scheduled to premiere in 2010 on Showtime. Hosted by comedian Paul Provenza, "Behind the Green Room Door” offers viewers an opportunity to witness hilarious exchanges between famed comedians. The comedians include Jonathan Winters, Eddie Izzard, Roseanne Barr, Drew Carey, Robert Klein, Penn Jillette, Martin Mull, Tommy Smothers, Bob Saget and Sandra Bernhard, as well as new faces and potential stars of tomorrow. Each episode features some of the comedians in a spontaneous, uncensored format. They share personal anecdotes, intimate thoughts and spur-of-the-moment, no-holds-barred comedy.
