Kanye West: Puppetmaster

Kanye West is stringing along a new television show! The rapper is teaming up with Comedy Central to create a puppet show that is being described as "hip-hop meets the Muppets!"

A pilot episode has already been filmed and features new music from the hip-hop mogul, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The working title of the show is called "Alligator Boots" and "South Park" writer Jon Kimmel is helping to produce the project.

Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla's production company, Jackhole Productions, is the production company for the show. They are also responsible for Comedy Central's other puppet show "Crank Yankers."

If picked up, "Alligator Boots" would make its debut in 2009.
