Comedy Central Signs Up Ron White’s Hounds

Comedy Central has closed a deal with comedian Ron White for an animated project titled Hounds. White will voice the lead character and co-executive produce Hounds, with Chris Thompson set to write. The show is described as a blue-collar Southern neo-gothic comedy. White will voice Chicken, “a countrified Yoda with a bottle of Jack and a bag of weed, an opinionated Southern philosopher who considers himself the center of the universe.” In the show, Chicken mentors his relatives and roommates in an eccentric small town.
