JB Smoove and his production company, Alternate Side Productions (ASP), have entered into a multi-year unscripted first-look deal with FOX Entertainment Studios (FES).
Smoove, an Emmy-winning comedian, actor, writer, and producer, will EP and creatively collaborate with FES on an unscripted slate. Alternate Side Productions will EP all projects generated under the deal, with FES producing.
“JB brings an unmistakable comedic voice and a fearless, spontaneous energy that makes him a natural fit for the unscripted genre,” said Allison Wallach, head of unscripted programming at FOX Entertainment Studios. “Together with Rick, Miles, and the team at Alternate Side Productions, JB has a sharp eye for original concepts and an ability to connect with audiences in a way that feels fresh, energizing, and highly entertaining. We’re excited to build a slate that fully taps into that original perspective.”
Smoove added, “Partnering with Allison and the FOX Entertainment Studios crew gives us the space to get wild with ideas, find the funny in real life, and bring some shows to the screen that people didn’t even know they needed yet. We’re going to have a lot of fun with this.”
Alternate Side Productions develops and produces a range of comedy-driven and format-based content across television and digital platforms, focusing on elevating Black, Indigenous, and People of Color voices. Smoove leads alongside Rick Dorfman and Miles Grose, who will serve as EPs on projects that emerge from the FES partnership.
