Big City TV & Brian Dunkleman Pact for Docucomedy Format

Lori Rothschild Ansaldi’s Big City TV, a part of Asylum Entertainment Group’s The Content Group, has partnered with Brian Dunkleman to develop and produce I Sh!t the Bed with Brian Dunkleman.

The docucomedy format will follow Dunkleman in real-time as he humorously reflects upon his life and career choices, including his infamous decision to depart American Idol after its debut season to pursue acting. Rothschild Ansaldi and Dunkleman will executive produce the series along with Steve Michaels and Jodi Flynn of The Content Group.

Lori Rothschild Ansaldi, president and CEO of Big City TV, said: “The Urban Dictionary defines ‘shitting the bed’ as the act of making a mistake that many other people recognize as a colossal screw-up. Brian is someone who has self-admittingly rolled in the shit in the bed. He looks back on his life and career with levity and self-forgiveness because it’s human to make mistakes and then accept, forgive and move on. With I Sh!t the Bed with Brian Dunkleman, we’re reframing Brian’s story, proving that there’s always room for learned lessons, second chances and a path forward.”

Dunkleman added: “I’m very excited to be developing this project with Lori and her amazing team of masterful storytellers. Everyone sh**s the bed at some point in life, not just me and people who marry fictional pirates. I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes to change the sheets and move on. I’m confident that this show will become a huge hit, and I look forward to quitting after the first season.”
