L/Studio's web series Hudson Valley Ballers is premieres to the internet space with four new episodes courtesy of SNL writers James Anderson and Paula Pell who did a fantastic job with the first four episodes currently available. The Above Average produced web series follows Anderson and Pell as they open a bed and breakfast, The Embarrassed Lamb Bnb, following their partial firings (watch it; it'll make sense). SNL producer head man in charge Lorne Michaels makes a brief cameo and others appearing in the series include Rachel Dratch, Cecily Strong, Alex Karpovsky, Lena Dunham, Natasha Lyonne as well as others. The back half of the season will show sometime in August.
