       Logo announced
            Monday that it would collaborate with Rosie O'Donnell on
            the creation of a new sketch comedy show. O'Donnell, Dan
            McDonald, and       Joe Del Hierro will executive-produce
                Simply       Sketch (title tentative), which a
            Logo press release describes as       "an irreverent show
            for the LGBT community." The show, which the       network
            has green-lighted for development, will be shot in front of
            a       live audience. (Advocate.com)
