Kanye West is set to star in a new show on Comedy Central that can pretty much be descibed as Hip Hop meets the Muppets. The project, which is under consideration for the 2009 season, would feature music produced and performed by West as well as fellow rapper Rhymefest, both of whom are serving as executive producers on the pilot, alongside Jimmy Kimmel. West also hosts the pilot; the idea is to have a different celebrity guest host for every episode, similar to the setup on the original “Muppet Show.”A half-hour pilot has been shot for the project, tentatively titled Alligator Boots.
