We are getting more than a little excited to see what new gem Mark Walberg's production company "Closest to the Hole" has in store. Bryan Greenburg, Victor Rasuk, Lake Bell, and Kid Cudi are expected to win us over as they try to "make it" as entrepreneurs living in downtown NYC.

this show is going to kill it. it will capture yet another audience that hbo hasn't quite reached. i am a diehard entourage fan from north jersey, so i'm looking forward to the "east coast entourage" change of pace - but yea, there's probably going to be a lot of other entourage fans that can't quite into the nyc cool kidz scene, just as i'm sure there were a lot of hipsters that just couldn't get down with hollywood.
