LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Comedians will tackle hot topics on "Behind the Green Door," a new six-episode series for Showtime.

Each half-hour episode of the series, hosted and executive produced by comedian Paul Provenza (director of "The Aristocrats"), will feature four comedians joining him before a live audience for a freewheeling discussion.

The comedians who will appear on the show include Jonathan Winters, Eddie Izzard, Roseanne Barr, Drew Carey, Robert Klein, Penn Jillette, Martin Mull, Tommy Smothers, Bob Saget, Sandra Bernhard and Andy Dick, as well as younger, up-and-coming talent.

"Door" is slated to premiere in 2010.
