There is precedent for this sort of thing: “The State,” “Kids in the Hall” and “Upright Citizens Brigade” were all sketch shows driven by a collective ensemble that had been working together for years prior to their jump to TV.Īs for 3Peat, Babineau said the network has “talked to them about what the next step would be, which is either going to be another season of digital sketches - like what we did with ‘Alternatino’ - or we’ll try to figure out a script deal with them.

And that’s another challenge in the development process, and if we move forward to develop for TV that would definitely be something we talk about and think about: How do we make sure people who are watching the show know that this isn’t just a random group of people? How do we highlight their chemistry?” It can be done, it’s just figuring out things on an individual basis. Only eight of its members have taken part in the Comedy Central videos the ninth member is Chris Redd, who has been unavailable due to to his commitments as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live.”īut as Babineau pointed out: “They’re all doing different things and working on different projects as individuals, so it gets more complicated. (Comedy Central)Īccording to Babineau, “just wrangling that many people as a sketch troupe to get them all in one place to write and shoot is a feat in itself.” Historically, the network has done sketch shows with one or two people steering the ship creatively (Dave Chappelle, Amy Schumer, Nick Kroll, Keele and Peele).īy contrast, 3Peat is a nine-member ensemble that formed organically at iO Theater.

The group has since caught the eye of Comedy Central, which commissioned a single sketch video that dropped last April called “The Blackening,” which hilariously skewered the old horror movie trope of the black character always being the first to die by asking: So, what if all the characters were black? It’s a very funny, very snappy video and it felt like Comedy Central was testing the waters to see if maybe 3Peat might be in the running or a fully fledged sketch show on the network.Ī TED talk parody from 3Peat, from left: John Thibodeaux, Lisa Beasley, Shantira Jackson, Allison Blair, Dewayne Perkins, Torian Miller, Patrick Rowland and Nnamdi Ngwe. The nine-member 3Peat has been a standout since I first saw them perform improv at iO Theater in 2016. What if a quick swab revealed instead who you really are - or as ensemble member Lisa Beasley learns: 52% woman who loudly and confidently pronounces the ‘L’ in salmon and 48% person who pronounces Target as “Tar-jay”? She can sing and tell a good poop story.Premiering this month, the Chicago sketch and improv group 3Peat has made three videos for Comedy Central’s YouTube channel and they are terrific, including one called “In Those Genes” that parodies ancestry DNA testing companies.
But as weird as it may sound, hearing the tale from Grande made me fonder of her. That is the last scene you might expect her to revisit amid this slick showcase of sensuality and eroticism. So yes, Grande, not a strict follower of the pop stardom rule book, goes into elaborate detail about the insane 15-minute fiasco that involves her dog Myron’s case of diarrhea, her pet pig using her bed as a toilet, Myron eating what the pig deposited and Grande running out of the room, screaming and crying. Though the majority of the movie focuses on this singer’s powerhouse vocals during her 2019 Sweetener World Tour, there are glimpses into Grande’s offstage life that are a refreshing contrast to her glam persona.
So is there actual footage of Ariana Grande cleaning up dog poop? And why was Kristin Chenoweth on FaceTime with Grande as she was picking it up? You might be asking yourself the same dumb questions after watching the new music documentary “Excuse Me, I Love You,” with the pony-tailed pop star at its performance-driven center.
