The network TV axe is so very bloody these days. Not only are shows getting cut after a season, but shows that were renewed are having their fate reversed and consequently canceled. So, you’d figure that means more produced pilots are even less likely to make it to series than they were even a year ago.
Thankfully, the podcast Dead Pilots Society has returned for the first live LA show to make sure that some of these things actually see the light of day and are enjoyed by an actual audience. This edition of Dead Pilots Society will live read the first three episodes of a Brooks Wheelan pilot that were commissioned by Fox, but, as you can guess, never went beyond that.
There’s an amazing cast they’ve lined up for this live reading that will include:
- Brooks Wheelan (SNL)
- Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric)
- Bobby Moynihan (SNL)
- Alyssa Limperis (Flatbush Misdemeanors)
- Kerri Kenney Silver (Reno 911)
- Jermaine Fowler (Tuca and Birdie)
- Mike O’Brien (AP Bio)
- Jessica Lowe (Minx), and more.
Go get tickets ($20) to enjoy this live and in person at The Elysian come Thurs. Jan. 12th at 7:30PM. Do so here.
