Zach Galifianakis To Star In FX Networks’ ‘Basket’

Recently, the FX Networks has become an authority in great cable programming. They announced that they have ordered 10 episodes of a new show starring funny-man Zach Galifianakis. FX’s comedy guru Louie C.K. created the show.

Check out the Deadline.com’s description of the series:

“In a world constrained by corporate interests and the homogenization of society, one man in Bakersfield, California dares to follow his dream of becoming a professional clown. But after an unsuccessful enrollment at a prestigious clowning school in Paris, the only job he can find is with the local rodeo. Baskets follows Chip Baskets’ (Galifianakis) pursuit of his dream, against all odds, to be a respected clown.

“Zach Galifianakis, Louis C.K. and Jonathan Krisel have created an absolutely brilliant show,” said FX’s Eric Schrier.

‘To say Zach’s portrayal of the lead character Chip Baskets is hilarious/unique/riveting/fascinating would be an understatement. We can’t wait for the world to meet him.’”
