'Ugly Americans' leads Comedy Central slate


May 14, 2009 Comedy Central is ramping up its animation slate, including a series order for a new show from former "Simpsons" writer David Stern. The show centers on a human social worker for the Department of Immigration who helps newcomers, both human and otherwise, adjust to life in the city. The network is also developing a Jamie Foxx workplace comedy based on his Sirius/SM satellite radio program, "The Foxxhole;" "Gypsy Cab," starring "30 Rock's" Judah Friedlander as a cab driver; and "The Invadersteins," the story of a family of aliens who stayed behind after an alien invasion of Earth failed from Dan Vebber (producer roles on "Futurama," "American Dad").
