MTV2 has also given the go-ahead to “Number 2 News,” which will feature a comedic news team that turns Internet content into news stories.
“Stunts, animal videos, pranks and epic fails … it’s not exactly news, but we’re pretending it is.

Dara Cook, Darin Byrne and Paul Ricci are executive producing for MTV2.
The network has also ordered a pilot for “Uncommon Sense With Charlamagne,” from MTV2’s Charlamagne tha God.
