MTV Turning a Corner?

MTV has shown a surprising amount of taste and foresight by inking a deal with Human Giant, a comedy team consisting of Bossman-favorite Aziz Ansari, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel and director Jason Woliner, to create a new series for the network. Word is that the series will premiere in early 2007 and the first season will be comprised of eight half-hour episodes of short films, like those already found on their site.

Anyone who hasn't already checked out Clell Tickle: Indie Marketing Guru, Other Music or Shittiest Mixtape Boombox Blast should do so post-haste. And apparently, they have another short, called The Illusionators, coming up.

I'm hoping that the boys won't be too busy to perform at SF Sketchfest this year. The festival lineup will be announced in mid-December.
