Posted by C-Hyphen

Kanye to produced a puppet show on Comedy Central

Rapper Kanye West has partnered with Jimmy Kimmel and Kimmel’s production company Jackhole Productions for a project being touted as “Hip-Hop Meets the Muppets.”

The news was announced today that West will host, executive produce and perform music on the half hour show modeled after puppet-based show the “Crank Yankers.” A pilot was shot for the project/show which is being titled “Alligator Boots.” The show will air on Comedy Central and is expected to launch early 2009. Though the pilot was shot; no other episodes outside of the pilot were ordered as of yet

Fellow Chicago rapper (and ‘Ye’s ‘Jesus Walks’ ghost writer) Rhymefest will also be involved as an executive producer for the project, as well as, perform music.

Though West & `Fest are heavily involved with the show the plan is to get a different celebrity host each episode.
