HGTV Will Now Have a Version of House Hunters with Live Commentary from Comedians

(via Deadline)

It’s actually time honored tradition amongst many groups of comedians that are friends to dissect, parody, send up, and satirize the couples that take part in HGTV’s long-running marquee series House Hunters. The passive aggression and the inevitable clash of desires is just too juicy for any comedian watching to not comment on.

Thus, House Hunters: LOL has been born. Via video conferencing, comedians will watch an episode of House Hunters and get into the socio-political nuances of what the hell is going on with the two people agreeing to publicly search for a house on basic cable.

The line-up of comics is TBA, but look for House Hunters: LOL to start airing in June.
