[NTSF: SD: SUV] began as a phony advertisement during the re-broadcast of the initial web version of Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim. That's right. As much as I'd like to take credit, I had nothing to do with it. Jon Stern is the connection – he's executive producing it with my good friend Paul Scheer. Paul was nice enough to bail me out when I was about 45 seconds to a minute short for one episode. They had shot that fake commercial as sort of a pilot, so Jon suggested sticking that in there.

The network has handed a 12-episode order to Paul Scheer's NTSF:SD:SUV which, as the title suggests, is a parody of the ubiquitous genre of crime procedurals. [...] The project leapfrogged the pilot stage, going from the clip, directed by Eric Appel, straight to series.
