Puppet stars in reality spoof

MTV has ordered a new comedy series about a celebrity puppet who falls so far from grace he is forced to appear on a reality TV show.

Warren The Ape, which launches in the States next year, is a spin-off from the short-lived 2002 series Greg The Bunny.

The 12-part series follows the cantankerous puppet as he tries to revive his career after that show was cancelled.

The character is voiced by Dan Milano, who created the show with Spencer Chinoy and Sean Baker.
