NBC has green lit a single camera comedy series based on Shane Dawson's real life. Its called Losin' It. The comedy will be set in a weight loss center, centered around its most successful client. When the client decides to become a consultant at the clinic that helped him lose weight chaos ensues, he's promoted to manager by the end of his first day!
The story will be written by Darlene Hunt, Shane Dawson, and Shane's producing partner Lauren Schnipper. Dawson, Hunt, Richie Schwartz, and Gluck will executive produce, with Schnipper producing. The storyline is direct from Shane himself. He once worked at a weight loss company called Jenny Craig along with his mother and brother in 2008, around the time his very first YouTube Channel began. Shortly after Shane uploaded a video of pole-dancing in the office that starred his mother, brother, himself and several other employees. Once it was out for the world to see Shane and all his accomplices were fired. But it was obviously a blessing in disguise because Shane is getting his own show! As comedic as this show will be the topic is also very personal to Shane. Having a rough childhood suffered from domestic abuse and bullying. Shane worked hard and lost 150 lbs! His new found confidence and strength pushed him to make moves in the YouTube community and create one of the most successful YouTube channels EVER!
Great for Shane Dawson! I personally have never watched his channel but I know who he is. He's one of the most famous YouTubers of all time. Apparently talented, funny, and now about to be a TV star. So congrats on all your success. Enjoy!
Since I've never seen his channel I'm going to post a playlist of some of his videos below:
Update: I've watched some of them and their pretty funny! So can't wait to see your show Shane! Again Congrats!
