Fox Tuning Up Barenaked Ladies: LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Barenaked Ladies' blend of music and comedy is coming to television.

Fox Broadcasting Co. has ordered a pilot presentation for a comedy/variety show starring the members of the popular Canadian pop group, known for its playful music style of tongue-in-cheek humor, pop-culture lyrics and upbeat tempos.

The project, tentatively titled "The Barenaked Ladies Variety Show," is set to expand upon the comedy sketches that have become a staple of Barenaked Ladies' concerts, along with the quintet's stage banter and improv bits with the audience.

The five band members -- Steven Page, Kevin Hearn, Tyler Stewart, Jim Creeggan and Ed Robertson -- will star in the skits as exaggerated versions of themselves, joined by guest actors. The show, in which a story line will run through each episode, connecting the sketches, also will include musical performances by the group and musical guests.

I think my sister will have an aneursym.
