Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 29, 2006 -- After a year of negotiation, Mantalk Inc. and Robert Billian, CEO of Billian Entertainment have agreed to a 26 episode deal for a one hour Television version of The Mantalk Radio Show. Mantalk, one of the longest running radio shows for men, "will have more substance than the Manshow" said William Bege, President of Mantalk Inc. Mantalk always attracts heavy men demos with reality based topics featuring sex, life and recreation. Pre-production will start in the fall of 2006 in Chicago. Mr. Billian will be using Chicago's extensive talent pool of comedy writers and said "Bill & Brent are 2 natural and relatable guys you'd love to have a beer with. Men need a show like this. I was sold in 5 minutes."
The "No Women allowed" prenise will continue, which originally garnered the show extensive television and press attention. William Bege (AKA The Radio Outlaw) and Brent Weiler will reprise their roles from the radio show. They are cohosts with neither one the "star". The opening will feature clay animation and popular radio segments like Fishin with Bob,Cartalk and The Original Aids Update will continue on and new segments like Video Games and Big Steve, a 400 pound correspondent hailing cabs in a bear suit and talking to people on the street will be added. Anything of interest to men of all diversities will be covered from testicular cancer and other men's health topics to ring tones and wrestling. Brazilian pianist Luiz Simas from New York "will be our Paul Shaffer", said Bege, but once a month guest artists like Gnarls Barkley, James Brown or Alice Cooper might be in Simas' chair.
