A Weed-Dealing Central Park Manatee? Sign Me Up.

As some of you may know, a good friend of mine is married to former SNL performer Bobby Moynihan's sister. He is a very good, humble, kind dude, so I unabashedly root for good things in his career. A recent CBS sitcom (Me, Myself and I) did not work out, but Bobby is scheduled to come back in a big way on Tina Fey's next NBC show. The show is untitled, but will star Ted Danson as a newbie mayor of LA. Tina Fey is joined by her producing partner Robert Carlock for this show. The two produced 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt together, so yeah, should be good stuff. Production has been shut down, but this show will get the full press push from the brass at NBC, which ordered a full season's worth of episodes. 

But I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about Loafy. Loafy is a Comedy Central show. Bobby created, wrote and executive produced the show. It's about the trials and tribulations of a weed-dealing manatee in Central Park. And yeah, Bobby voices the drug-dealing manatee. 

To quote Comedy Central's VP of Digital Original Entertainment, "...clearly, now more than ever, the world needs a weed-dealing manatee and more Bobby Moynihan - not necessarily in that order." 

I am certainly not an impartial judge, but Bobby has had a helluva run. Nine seasons at SNL, followed by an unbelievable voice-over run in both movies and TV. The dude has a lot of Gheorghe in him and is worth rooting for. Here is the trailer for Loafy. Charge your vape pen and get ready for Episode 1.
