(via Variety)

Yet another podcast makes it to TV.

Bryan Safi and Erin Gibson have cultivated their topical podcast Throwing Shade into quite the formidable comedy podcast. As such, it’s now being adapted for television in the form of a comedy pilot over at TV Land. How it will be adapted (maybe a scripted series that centers around doing the podcast like Maron?) has yet to be announced, but we’re glad to see Safi and Gibson get a pilot together.

Along with The Jim Gaffigan Show, we definitely like the direction that TV Land has been and is heading in.
