Kanye's Show Canned

Kanye Wests comedy show will not be on screens anytime soon according to the director.

West produced a pilot for network HBO which included improvised comedy- in a Curb Your Enthusiasm fashion.

However director Larry Charles (Curb, Borat) says that its unlikely to be on TV in the near future.

He told ComingSoon.com: It was really good, but I think it was too hardcore for HBOThe management has shifted at HBO so we're waiting to see."

It was recently announced that Kanye would be working on another TV programme dubbed a hip hop version of The Muppets.

The project- called Alligator Boots- could hit TV screens in 2009 if bigwigs approve Wests work and would feature original songs by him and fellow Chicago MC Rhymefest.
