Alex Reymundo, one of the comedians featured in the concert film The Original Latin Kings of Comedy, will star in a new series on Showtime called Hick-Spanic, or, as The Simpsons writing staff might call it, ""Ethnic Mismatch Comedy #644."

Reymundo is developing the comedy, which, like most TV vehicles created for stand-up comics, is loosely based on his own life. Reymundo will play a man of Mexican descent whose wife is a white hillbilly. Their families are engaged in a constant battle over which of their children got the better deal.

Twenty-six special episodes of Sesame Street will air in Kosovo as a way to promote ethnic diversity among children. The series, which is essential seen by children worldwide now, first came to the region in 2004. The new episodes, which will broadcast in both Serbian and Albanian languages, will combine footage from the series featuring the beloved Muppets with footage shot in the region. Kids fell in love with the series when it premiered there two years ago, and it was also praised for promoting respect among different ethnic groups. Maybe we could actually achieve world peace if we all just watched Sesame Street all day. At least up to the point when the Grover supporters wage an attack on the Cookie Monster sympathizers. Then the whole mess just starts over again.
