Comedy Central announced today that it has given the go-ahead to stand-up comic Nick Swardson, who played the roller-skating character Terry Bernardino on the "Reno 911!" series, for a six-episode sketch show.

The weekly series will begin shooting in November for a launch in 2010, with Swardson executive producing the show, along with Tom Gianas, Sony Pictures Television and Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions.
