Press Release: David Cross announces original programming with FKR.TV

David Cross is a comedic genius and not because of Arrested Development. Nope, he is because his comedy album Bigger and Blackerer is like the Mona Lisa of comedy albums and if you don’t own it then you might as well eat shit. Recently, a price release has gone out detailing a new Youtube channel with David and FKR label founder Syd Butler. A press release comes after the jump, but check back as we look deeper into a series called This One Time which looks like something we are going to be talking about quite a bit. More after the jump!
