Fox Cancels ‘Party Over Here’

R.I.P. Alison Rich, Nicole Byer, and Jessica McKenna’s sketch series that we wish had more time to get on its legs because there was definite promise in the show.

We’re sure that you’ll be seeing the three of them elsewhere on big and small screens very soon. In fact, Nicole already has her own show coming out on MTV, Loosely Exactly Nicole.

“Comedians face off in series of one-on-one rap battles – totally freestyle, totally improvised. The audience decides the winner
by applause at the end of every round, until we have one final champion. It’s like 8 Mile, but funny.”

This will be a taping for Seeso’s Comedy Show Show.

Fox will finally be joining the ranks of late night once again, this Saturday, March 12th, with a brand new sketch show, Party Over Here.

Alison Rich, Nicole Byer, and Jessica McKenna along with the guidance of The Lonely Island and Paul Scheer are going to bring what seems to be a more fast paced, fourth wall-breaking version of sketch to television.

Get your first look at what they all have up their sleeve here.

(via Deadline)

Though it’s going to air on Saturdays, it’s not going against SNL.

Party Over Here, which is also the name of The Lonely Island’s production company, will be the new late night sketch show that will run on Fox’s schedule. For years, Fox didn’t have any late night programming to really speak of and let their last sketch series, Mad TV, live in the shadow of what all its cast did after the show ended (i.e. Key & Peele).

This time around, Fox has plenty of comedy fan buzzworthy talent in the ranks of Party Over Here. Not only are The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer) executive producing the series, but Paul Scheer is directing and the aforementioned Nicole Byer, Jessica McKenna, and Alison Rich, who have all gained comedic notoriety on their own over the last few years, are headlining the cast.

The series is set for a Sat. Mar. 12th premiere at 11PM and will very notably not air against Saturday Night Live. Party Over Here will only be a half hour and also not broadcast live.

All of those moves are probably for the best.
