Kanye West's proposed comedy series is "too hardcore" for HBO, the show's director Larry Charles has said.

Charles, who has helmed episodes of hit Larry David comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, told Coming Soon that the cable network balked at green lighting a series after they saw the pilot.

"What Kanye West said to me the first time [we met], he said, 'I'm the black Larry David.' That's the first thing he said to me. So it's like a Kanye and Curb show, it's kind of improvised about the situations [in his life]. It was really good, but again I think it was too hardcore for HBO.

"Also, HBO's management shifted, but HBO doesn't have a good track record when it comes to black shows and I felt like that may have had something to do with it also."

Though Charles claimed that his pilot garnered positive feedback, he admitted that it would probably never see the light of day: "This was very entertaining and we showed it to a lot of people. People gave it a very good response and it seems to be on the shelf right now."

Kanye West가 기획중인 "too hardcore"가 파일럿의 좋은 반응에 힘입어 방영될 확률이 크다는~
요 프로그램 감독이 curb your enthusiasm맡았던 감독이네.. curb에서 주인공 래리 역이 칸예로 바뀌었다고 생각하면 될거라고.. 페이크 다큐멘터리 형식에, 실제 본인을 연기해서 진짠지 가짠지 헛갈리면서 묘하게 재밌던 curb.. 그럼 칸예의 리얼한모습보는건가?? 근데 시상식과 평론가들에게만 찬사받고 시청률에서는 바닥을 쳤던 curb인데 전철을 밟지 않고 좀 대중적으로 만들어 주셨으면 ㅋㅋㅋ

덧) 표현의 자유 최고인 방송사가 HBO인데 여기서 너무 하드코어해서 걱정이라면 도대체 얼마나 하드코어한것임..? [기대;;]
