Season 2 of Showtime Comedy Premiere Date; Kevin Hart Comedy Central Series
Showtime released the key art and announced the premiere date for the second season of Dice. Season two of the comedy series will return with seven new, half-hour episodes Sunday, August 20 at 10:30pm ET/PT on Showtime on air, on demand and over the internet. Produced by Fox 21 Television Studios, the scripted, semi-autobiographical series will dig deeper into the unconventional world of Andrew Dice Clay - beyond the character who once sold out Madison Square Garden. The unemployed comic struggles to restart his career and deals with the effects of his outrageous brand of fame, all while living in the Vegas suburbs with his girlfriend Carmen (Natasha Leggero). Created by Scot Armstrong (Old School, The Hangover Part II), Dice chronicles Clay as he tries to live his life while trapped in the skin of "The Diceman." The series also stars Kevin Corrigan and Natasha Leggero. Season two guest stars include David Arquette, Andy Daly, Patrick Fischler, Billy Gardell, Mary Holland, Michael Imperioli, Ron Livingston, Laraine Newman, Tony Orlando, Mickey Rourke, Teller, Mike Starr and James Woods. The series' executive producers are Armstrong, Sean Furst, Bryan Furst, Andrew Dice Clay, Bruce Rubenstein, Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka.
