Jim Norton and Kurt Metzger Working on a Comedy Pilot for VICE

nortonmetzgerviceComedian Jim Norton revealed this morning on the Opie and Anthony show, that he is working on a comedy talk show pilot for VICE.com and VICE MEDIA with writer and comedian Kurt Metzger. The three pilot episodes will be taped in New York City on May 20 and 21st. Ticket details will be announced soon.  There aren’t many details available yet but Norton said that they have wide freedom in terms of language and content.  Norton also revealed this about the tone of the show:

“It’s being done for the mentality of people who listen to this show [The Opie and Anthony Show].   I’m not trying to appeal– I want Vice’s audience to like it, but I’m not trying to go out and get hipsters.  Otherwise they would have hired somebody else to do this.”

Thanks to thelaughbutton.com for the heads up.
