Clip From Kanye West's Unaired HBO Pilot Posted Online
. During negotiations with HBO producer Larry Charles for an untitled improv comedy show the pair worked on back in 2008, West proclaimed himself "the black Larry David." Charles revealed this to comingsoon.net during an interview from that same year that addressed the pilot episode of the show. "So it's like a Kanye and Curb show, it's kind of improvised about the situations and stuff," Charles said, comparing the show to Larry David's popular HBO show, Curb Your Enthusiasm (Charles is a longtime Larry David associate who worked on Seinfeld and Curb). "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." The show never made it to air, but thanks to actress Alison Quinn�who worked on the pilot episode of West's show�the world can now get a taste of what the rapper had in store after she posted a skit she was featured in from the unaired pilot. In the skit, West meets a young fan from the Make A Wish Foundation, only to learn that he the kid would have been more interesting in meeting Lil Wayne or R. Kelly. Quinn's character spends her time repeatedly calling Kanye West "Kenny." Watch here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
