The U.S. debut of popular British comedian Marc Wootton's 'La La Land' has been given its TV premiere date on Showtime: Monday, Jan. 25 at 11PM, following the third season premiere of 'Tracey Ullman: State of the Union.'On the show, Wootton plays three different characters and attempts to prank unsuspecting real-life residents of L.A. in real situations. (Sounds kind of like 'The Jamie Kennedy Experiment' from across the Pond.) The six-episode run is penned by Wootton and 'Borat' scribe Peter Baynham, and is part of Showtime's current slate of strong original programming.
Showtime likes the laughs, renews Tracey Ullman

Do you love Tracey Ullman? Yeah, who doesn't? The lady's a riot. Showtime is so enamored of the Brit-com-queen that they've ordered a second season -- seven fresh episodes -- of Tracey Ullman's State of the Union. The network has also lined up another English artist for 2009. Comedy star Marc Wootton is locked in for six episodes."I won't hold it against them that both are from the U.K.," laughed Showtime prez Robert Greenblatt. "Tracey Ullman is the veteran genius who continues to impress us with her versatility, while Marc Wootton is the up-and-comer who will surprise our audience with his own unique voice. This is an embarrassment of riches for us in the comedy department."
