Jon Stewart is stepping up to bat again.
The Daily Show host and his Busboy Productions have received a pilot green-light for Three Strikes, a baseball comedy series. The show is being developed by Stewart and Busboy partner Ben Karlin.
Three Strikes follows the misadventures of a minor-league baseball team, a subject mined comedically before in the 1988 film Bull Durham. Strikes is written by Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck, who have written for King of the Hill, Frasier, Larry Sanders Show, and The Late Show with David Letterman.
Busboy has a first-look deal with Comedy Central. The first show to come out of that marriage was the hit The Colbert Report.
