Alumni Mark Duplass & Katie Aselton Create Instant Hilarity on The League

A few years back we screened a couple shorts from The Duplass Brothers which featured Mark and Katie, and a year or so after that we shared their first feature, The Puffy Chair, with our audience.  Mark and Katie have now taken it to the TV screen with their new show on FX, The League, which tells the story of five 30-something friends in a fantasy football league as they deal with wives, girlfriends, and the daily grind. 

This ensemble show features an amazing cast of comedy performers who are all at the top of their game, including Nick Kroll, Jon Lajoie, Stephen Rannazzisi, and Paul Scheer.  The show was created by Jeff and Jackie Schaffer, the former having been an alumnus of both Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

If you haven't seen it yet definitely set your DVR and make sure to catch an episode.  If you aren't cracking up after the first five minutes Gen Art will personally hire a surgeon to give you a funny bone transplant.
