Ralphie May, Lavell Crawford ink Comedy Central show deal

Lavell Crawford

Ralphie May
This is big news! Get it– because the pair of comedians named in the headline are big? Oh, dear.
Anyway, it seems that wildly popular comedian Ralphie May and former Last Comic Standing favorite Lavell Crawford have struck a deal with Comedy Central to develop a buddy sitcom of sorts.
The Hollywood Reporter says the show, Brother From Another Mother, centers around the two comics, playing best friends who come to find they’re brothers after their dad dies and leaves them his barbecue joint.
We guess May wasn’t messing around late last month when he said in an interview he was looking to break into television. Looks like it’s going to happen.
What do you think? If the show makes it to air, will you watch?

Ralphie,
I am from Clarksville, Ar. and want you to know how proud I am that you have made something so good and funny out of your life.. I am 53 years old and always enjoy a good laugh. I’m also disabled with heart desease, Fibromylgia, aand a very bad back. I should be in a wheel chair but refuse to give into it and get in one. So not many things in life are all that funny to me. So thank you for entertaining me when I need a good laugh. I moved to Little Rock to be close to my doctors,but get back home to Clarksville once a month. My sons Garrett and Bret say they remember you. Bret got me listening to you..Anyway, just wanted you to know someone from your home town is very proud of you.
Sincerly. Pat Lingar
