Gay Sketch Show, recruits Lance Bass

Logo announced Monday that it is renewing Big Gay Sketch Show for a second season, as well as developing a reality show with former 'N Syncer Lance Bass.

Big Gay Sketch Show's second season will go into production in fall 2007 for an early 2008 premiere. The irreverent program, featuring LGBT and straight comedians, is executive-produced by Rosie O'Donnell, Joe Del Hierro, and Dan MacDonald. In the next season the show plans to incorporate online participation so viewers can influence sketches.

Bass, who came out publicly last year, is working on a music reality program with the Viacom-owned LGBT network.

Logo is also involved with Queer as Folk actor Robert Gant on a development project about a gay bionic man, tentatively titled Gayonic Man. (The Advocate)
