The man might have terrible taste in comedy special titles, but it's helped him score on his own little corner of the TV dial.
Comedian Nick Swardson has scored his own sketch comedy series on Comedy Central. The show will hit the air next year and feature a lot of digital shorts and animation, some of which will be based on almost Python-esque "Gay Robot" character. Swardson and Adam Sandler actually shot a pilot for his "Gay Robot" character years ago and thanks to the magic of YouTube, you can also enjoy it. Warning: if you're easily offended by jokes of a sexual nature, please get over yourself and grow a sense of humor before watching it.

been picked up for the 2006 season. The live-action show will focus on a group of frat brothers, including Nick
Swardson of Reno 911! who will also voice the robot as he did on Adam Sandler's album "Shh... Don't
Tell." Sandler's Happy Madison will be producing the new series. You can watch a clip of it on YouTube here.
