Opie and Anthony

Comedy Central on Wednesday unveiled that it is developing a new show to be hosted by the CBS/XM radio duo Opie and Anthony.

Entitled Search and Destroy, the show is described as a scavenger hunt in which "teams of comedians run amok in New York City." Each team faces off in head-to-head competitions and has a list of assignments they must complete.

Comedy Central unveiled Search and Destroy as part of its 2008-09 talent and development slate. Currently only one show has been officially picked up for the season: a medieval comedy show Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire, which will debut in early 2009.

This reeks of "hack".

This, to me, is the equivalent of selling your stock to early. O&A have not been patient enough to wait for the big payoff. They have watered down their show for radio and now they will dilute it again for TV. The big payoff will come when SatRad will gain their footing. They folded too early and they will suffer.

I see this as "Jackass" but with lawsuits.


Leee-lonn!

Ooofa. Well, everyone's gotta make a living.

"...a scavenger hunt in New York City... a list of assignments they must complete."

Like fucking in a church? Try not to blow up your careers this time, shitdicks. Frunkis!

Yes, but who's brave enough to attempt the 2-point conversion on the boss's desk?

AHHHHHHLLLLLLLIIIINNNGGGGGGGGGGG - oh, you get it.

THIS PROVES THAT O&A ARE FAILURES ON RADIO SO THEY HAVE TO BE EXPOSED TO A TV AUDIENCE IN ORDER TO ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!

BLIND CC!

Well, the ratings, as always will tell the story. Hacky? Perhaps, but as always O & A will do something that will shock and offend *someone*... as for the church, that shit happened 6 years ago. Give it a rest.

Can't they cancel O&A already? They are not funny anymore.

Each show is the same shit:

Anthony: Bitches about how rich is and shows off how racist he is toward blacks.
Opie: Lies about how fast the show is growing, when its losing markets.
Norton: Complains about the myth of the "liberal media" and thinks political correctness is worse than aids.

Of course add your awful hack comedians and talk about Whip Em' Out Weds. (which by the way DOES NOT WORK because NO CHICKS listen to O&A anymore)

O&A are going to be finished. They are past their prime and are now as bad Howard.

FYI: I am not a Howard fan. I could care less about shock jocks anymore. I grew up.

LEON WESTBROOK:

You sure do know a lot about O&A for a guy that doesn't care less about the show and grew up.

Ouch.

This show sounds awful.

I do; however, have to say that Opie and Anthony are really the only reason I still have a sub to XM. I understand there are many that don't like them, but there are many that do. Original, live content is the only reason to have a sub in my opinion, not music, as an iPod takes care of that for me.

The only problem I have with O and A is the fact that they're on CBS. I don't blame them for this as they feel that was the best move for them. I think this was a bad move for XM though.

honestly,how is the concept of this show any different from some local hack morning "crazy dj" bit?

B-b-b-b-b-boys, just keep them away from the churches!

I bet Sam Adams won't be buying commercials during this 1/2 hour comedy car crash!


LINGER LONGER!!!!

ho-hum another city gone

O&a dropped in Providence

this is flat out embarrasing now

I don't understand you people, you complain when O&A go on Terestrial, You complain and point out they suck when another Terestrial dropps the show, You complain and cliam it will be a falure when this TV show is announced,

Dont any of you get it? 1/2 of this is advertizing for XM. Many markets where O&A are dropped lead to more XM subs.

How many Radio station was Stern dropped from over the years?

How original was Sterns TV show? Try not at all .. it was his radio show with a camera.
Here O&A are hoing to host a show where comidians are sent out on scavanger hunts... this could be really good... It could be a flop too, but the concept sounds really good.

once again, i am sure if it was Howard doing this, it would be the best show thats been on Comedy Central since South Park.


to the assclown who knows alot about a show but claims to have grown up, you seem to know a little too much detail to not listen to shock jocks.
I honestly have never listened to Howard as i never lived in an area that broadcast him but all I hear about his show is this
"Girl comes in, gets naked, rides the sybian" rinse and repeat

People with Ipods have limited music boundries . Besides, alot of people don't have the time to mess with Ipods .

I guess I will have to get cable now!


PS Providence flipped formats to oldies.

"PS Providence flipped formats to oldies."

BUT MANAGED TO KEEP IMUS

GO FIGURE

pest spin, an oldies station kept Imus...I wonder if that is because he fits the demo you dummy.

pete...I thought it was the boss' couch

I don't know how the trolls can spin this as bad, if someone wants to give me money then I would only be too happy to take it for the added exposure.

I notice there are 0.0 posts from the "0.0!!!" guy.

So expanding your career is a bad thing? I don’t understand these people on this website. Probably just blind hated for Opie & Anthony though.

Leon, I love when Ant talks about how rich and racist he is.

Should be a good show. Just O&A and their comedian friends hanging out. O&A clearly have the best comedians in the country on their show (unlike Hoo Hoo who only gets washed up hacks). Well done boys. O&A always win in the end.

Ron & Fez, Noon to 3. Face.

It's pretty clear that Leon lives in Mastic.

I'm a douche.

I hear the pilot is supposed to debut @ the Gothic Theatre in Denver Co. march14 but who cares about that.

lets see o&a are batting negative 100%. cbs sucks, xm sucks, open&ass suck, sure hope they don't bring their suck to comedy central, even if they do o&a will be history quickly when their tv show pulls a negative share like the rest of their no-talent crap.

Sounds like the show is a cross between jackass and myth busters.

Hey douche how do you bat negative 100% wouldn't that be negative .100 at best? I think you intended to say they're batting negative 1.000 but then again how is that logical seeing how O&A now have basic cable show, a TetRad show and a Satrad show as well. Stupid Howard fans.

open&ass? wow, that's clever.

well,this is almost a month old and still nothing...

what happened?perhaps another lie from the kings of sattelite and terrestrial radio?

"were the fastest growing and #1 show on XM"

I'm a douche and know nothing about radio.. Howard is not only my God but my lover.

Great, now Opie and Anthony can be unfunny in two mediums! For their first episode, maybe they should do a scavenger hunt for something that actually makes people laugh.

P.S. What is funny about having sex in a church?

I do like O & A, but find that it turning into the Norton show and that's what makes me tune out. Like 'em better as a duo. I'll give the tv show a shot. Together they are entertaining so there could be somethibg worthwhile there. God knows all the Howie ass kissers are gonna be all over this, so I hope its not an embarrassment.

Hoo Hoo

Why didn't I think of this? Oh yeah, I already did.

"be the 9th caller to be part of the 0.0 wacky morning zoo scavenger hunt"

edgy

They may not be the best there is, but there is nothing better on the radio that I know of. As for the critics, why dont u try to get people to not only pay attention to you. but then entertain them and make the laugh so much they don't wnat you to leave, try it somtime

listen you lame folk that question the O&A ability... they do things so well they get fired for it! I think the premise if a good one- can you imagine the Rogan Vs. Macias night!! Hello. How can anyone question these boys, they have more talent in their lil Pinkies than stern does in his whole obnoxiously ridiculous and over sold self!! You cannot even compare!! O&A party rock!

sounds like a real blast, brother man!

It's like Jackass meets Mythbusters.

lee-lip!
