Black and Showalter star in new series

Wet Hot American Summer co-stars Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter are to headline Michael & Michael Have Issues, Comedy Central said.

The 7-episode TV series, which casts the longtime comedic partners as the hosts of their own fictitious sketch show, is to debut Wednesday.

Behind the scenes of the show-within-a-show, viewers will get a first-hand look at issues, both big — in an attempt to broaden their appeal, the guys turn their show into a frat house spectacle — and small — the two Michaels fight over the approval of a teenage intern writing an article about them for his high school newspaper — that the two misguided stars wrestle with as they confront their own issues of insecurity and jealousy as each attempts to undermine the other, Comedy Central said in a news release.
