The Michael and Michael blog at www.michaelandmichaelhaveissues.com. serves as home for this event, where viewers can follow the "Michaels" live blog and leave comments on the site to communicate with them while the show is airing. The all-new episode of "Michael & Michael Have Issues" titled "Pulling Your Weight" features Black leaving the brunt of the workload to Showalter. "Michael & Michael Have Issues" stars Black and Showalter in a new twist on narrative and sketch comedies that features the long-time comedic partners as the hosts of their own fictitious sketch show. In the seven-episode series, sketches will be interspersed throughout the narrative thread of each episode. Behind-the-scenes of the show-within-a-show, viewers will get a first-hand look at issues, both big (in an attempt to broaden their appeal, the guys turn their show into a frat house spectacle) and small (the two Michaels fight over the approval of a teenage intern who is writing an article about them for his high school newspaper) that the two misguided stars wrestle with as they confront their own issues of insecurity and jealousy as each attempts to undermine the other. Other issues in the series include roommate rivalry when the "Michaels" secure a college gig, playing cupid for an unlucky-in-love co-worker and what birthday gift to give the boss who has everything. Credits for "Michael & Michael Have Issues" include Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, Jim Biederman ("Whitest Kids U Know," "I'm With Busey") and Lou Wallach as executive producers and Jim Sharp and Christina Lee as executives in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
