COMEDY CENTRAL'S� NEW SERIES "CROSSBALLS" PITS REAL PEOPLE AGAINST FAKE EXPERTS AND SKEWERS DEBATE SHOWS, BEGINNING TUESDAY, JULY 6 AT 7:30 P.M.

COMEDY CENTRAL introduces a new take on the traditional debate show format, where comedians pose as experts and debate real people who don�t know the show is fake. Out of the Crossfire, beyond Hardball, this is Crossballs: The Debate Show, premiering Tuesday, July 6 at 7:30 p.m. Each half-hour episode will debut on Tuesday through Thursdays for eight consecutive weeks.

"Crossballs," hosted by Chris Tallman, puts unsuspecting real people, experts in their field, against characters played by comedians in a heated debate on current issues. The show includes other bogus elements, including fake TV magazine stories, commercials, and additional "experts" who appear via phony satellite feeds. Shot in front of a live audience, "Crossballs" is a spoof of programs such as "Crossfire," "Hardball with Chris Matthews," and the entire Fox News Network. Characters breathe life into stodgy old debates, with opinions like:

"Sports stars should be kept in cages."

"People should be allowed to hunt animals with their cars."

"We should all have the right to marry food."

"Immigrants would be happier on the moon."

"Fixing bad neighborhoods starts with dressing the homeless as clowns."

"Fashion is a gay conspiracy."
