NEW YORK (AP) — The Spike cable network is looking to get into late-night television, but Conan O’Brien need not apply.
The network geared to young men says it is developing a new late-night talk and comedy show with Thom Beers, who helps make the network’s popular “1,000 Ways to Die” series. The new late-night show hopes to scour the country for talent and highlight ordinary people who have done extraordinary things.
Sharon Levy, head of programming for Spike, says the show will focus on providing “manformation for the true guy’s guy.”
The show has no air date, host or title. It will air weekly at first.
She says she loves O’Brien, who recently left NBC’s “Tonight” show, but says Spike wants to develop its own new talent.
