We just discovered from our sources over at Comedy Central that comedian Patrice O’Neal is teaming up with the network for two projects- one is a pilot presentation and the other is a stand-up special for the network.
The first, the pilot presentation, is a semi-scripted comedy/reality presentation, titled Patrice Oneal's Guide to White People, and will star O’Neal as a professor of whiteness teaching a Whitey 101 class at an adult school that is designed for foreigners, as well as Americans who want to learn "what white people are about and how to get along with them," Oneal said.
The second, a stand up special will shoot this year.
O’Neal was one of five regular guests on the network's Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn and appeared on Premium Blend, Chappelle's Show and the animated stand-up series Shorties Watchin' Shorties.
