Nicktoons will feature 24 episodes, back-to-back, of YAKKITY YAK on Feb. 5 & 6, 2005, from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm during Super Bowl Weekend in the U.S. Viewers will see Yakkity, the class clown of Onion Falls High School, on his rocky road to stardom as he strives to become a standup comic.
YAKKITY YAK is a 52x11 animated series from Studio B and Kapow Pictures, that features a lovably oblivious and easily misguided yak that strives to shine as the next comic superstar. Despite his lack of comedic talent and many crowd-silencing performances, Yakkity is determined to make it big. Each episode finds Yakkity and his best friends, Keo and Lemony, in exciting adventures with hilarious consequences.
Mark (creator and co-production partner from Kapow Pictures, Mark Gravas) and I are very excited to see that YAK has found a loyal audience on Nicktoons and that they are running a marathon to showcase Yakkity¹s talents, said Studio B partner Blair Peters.
"It's encouraging to know that there's a YAKKITY YAK fan base out there that Nicktoons recognizes," said Gravas, series creator and co-owner of Kapow Pictures. "Hopefully this marathon will introduce the show to a lot more people.
