GR TV show goes national

A Michigan-produced TV show has finally made it to the big time. You've Got To Be Kidding Me, America, created and executively produced by Larry Barry, has been picked up by the ION Television Network.

The show is set to premiere Friday, September 25 at 11:30 p.m. The show will also run at its regularly scheduled time on Saturdays at 11:30 p.m.

Five & Dime Productions is hosting a premiere party at Brann's Steakhouse & Grille on Leonard Street in Grand Rapids and is also looking for extras and walk-ons through its sign-ups located all over GR. Five & Dime Productions is also looking for national and local sponsorships for the show.

Barry says, “Talent is so great in Michigan that we didn’t need to go to California.”

He also notes that the show is looking to the governor in hopes of incentives similar to those granted to films here in Michigan.

The show's goal is to be funnier than currently running Saturday Night Live or MadTV, and classic laugh-fest In Living Color. The cast plays a variety of hilarious characters in each episode, complete with spoofs, wigs, costumes, impressions, accents, and even cross-dressing.

Check out the show's hilarity in skits like "Inmate Top Model," "Not Really News," and the Soprano's spoof "Dat Show with Dos Guys" at yougot2be.com. Be sure to watch when the show airs tonight on ION.
