NEW YORK, June 19 (UPI) -- Writer-director Quentin Tarantino and Time magazine columnist Joel Stein have been commissioned for the first two quarterly editions of MY TR!O.
TR!O will have guest programmers schedule the network's primetime line-up for one week.
"We're taking our pop culture mission one step further by hiring the icons and arbiters of pop culture to program TR!O for a week at a time, " President Lauren Zalaznick said. "Whether it's film, television, comedy or anything else, TR!O will be obsessed with whatever cultural artifacts our curators are obsessed with."
MY TR!O: Joel Stein Week kicks off on Sunday, July 20 at 9:00 p.m., EDT/PDT with
a half-hour special that explains the curator's unusual programming choices for the week. The special features clips from the upcoming week's shows as well as phone interviews with Welcome Back, Kotter's Gabe Kaplan (who appeared on Battle of the Network Stars), Jeff Altman (Pink Lady & Jeff) and Greg Fitzsimmons (Idiot Savants).
