COMEDY CENTRAL® IS READY FOR ITS PAT-DOWN, OFFICER!
THE NETWORK TELEVISION PREMIERE OF "HOT FUZZ"
DEBUTS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5 AT 10:00 P.M.


NEW YORK, November 16, 2009 -- There’s no point in running! Viewers should just surrender to the cops, mull some toilet wine and enjoy COMEDY CENTRAL's Network Television Premiere of “Hot Fuzz,” debuting Saturday, December 5 at 10:00 p.m.

Scared of the boys in blue? Let Simon Pegg and Bill Nighy help nullify that fear.

When Nicholas Angel (Pegg), London’s top cop, is transferred to the small, quiet town of Sandford, he soon finds more than just underage drinking and the occasional roaming swan. After a string of mysterious deaths, he and his partner, Deputy Butterman (Nick Frost), realize that it’ll take more than just by-the-book police action to stop the killer. Follow the crime trail with London’s best in this Network Television Premiere!

An encore presentation of “Hot Fuzz” airs Saturday, December 6 at 11:00 a.m.
