A Gay SNL?

ajohny.jpgThis sounds very promising: Logo has announced that its eagerly awaited six episode sketch comedy series, "The Big Gay Sketch Show," will make its debut April 24. It features a cast of eight up-and-coming comedic actors in a show that features a combination of traditional and music-based sketches, pop culture parodies and recurring characters, all from a unique LGBT perspective. 
The cast includes: Erica Ash, Dion Flynn, Julie Goldman, Stephen Guarino, Jonny McGovern (pictured above), Kate McKinnon, Nicol Paone and Michael Serrato.
amarci.jpgThe show is produced by Oh Really? Productions and, get this, among the executive producers are Rosie O'Donnell. I sure hope that means she'll be making a guest appearance. Rosie may be controversial, but she is also VERY funny. And the series' director is Amanda Bearse, who came out as a lesbian years ago while appearing on "Married With Children" as a very horny Marcy. Who wouldn't be horny when married to the very handsome Ted McGinley.

In addition to airing on Logo’s 24/7 television channel, LOGOonline.com will offer a slew of features including bonus sketches, outtakes, cast crew interviews, photos and each episode of the series will be available for download on iTunes via instant release.
