ABC Orders The Fast And The Funniest

ABC has ordered a new reality competition show, The Fast and the Funniest, in which comedians have to be funny on the fly. On the show a group of stand-ups travel cross-country competing in challenges and performances. The first three to reach the final destination will perform for a cash prize. The project’s order is contingent on casting, with Page Hurwitz and Javier Winnik producing the show. If greenlighted, The Fast and the Funniest would debut on ABC in late midseason or next summer. It joins ABC’s upcoming auto-competition series Crash Course and the Jamie Oliver weight-loss series among the network’s reality efforts in development.
