Tommy Chong to be in the Green Room

Showtime has announced that it has renewed critically acclaimed comedy series THE GREEN ROOM WITH PAUL PROVENZA to air in 2011. Some of the nation’s top comics, including Ray Romano, Kathy Griffin, Margaret Cho, Tommy Chong, Lewis Black, Ron White, Joe Rogan, along with blockbuster comedy writer/director/producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Superbad) have signed on for the six-episode second season, which will be shot in January.

The series offers viewers a rare, fly-on-the-wall look at comic legends, raw and uncensored in a spontaneous, intimate, roundtable setting with comedian Paul Provenza (director and co-producer of The Aristocrats) serving as moderator and executive producer. Barabara Romen is also an executive producer, and Kelly Carlin, daughter of famed comedian Geroge Carlin, is joining the show this season as a producer.
