Party Over Here is an American sketch comedy television series created by Paul Scheer and The Lonely Island, who serve as executive producers. It premiered on Fox on March 12, 2016. It was the first original live-action program carried in Saturday late night by Fox after the cancellation of The Wanda Sykes Show in 2010.
On August 9, 2016, Fox cancelled the series after one season.
On December 3, 2014, it was announced that Paul Scheer and The Lonely Island created a new sketch series for Fox called Party Over Here as a part of The Lonely Island's overall development deal with the network. On February 4, 2016, Fox announced that the half-hour series would debut on Saturday, March 12, and that Scheer would serve as show runner and as one of the directors of the series. Nicole Byer, Jessica McKenna and Alison Rich were cast.
In most markets the scheduling of the series at 11 p.m. ET/PT, 10 p.m. CT/MT means it would have, specifically by producer's preference, not have gone against Saturday Night Live (the other half-hour of Fox's late night timeslot will carry a repeat of Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life), with the members of The Lonely Island receiving the blessing of SNL creator Lorne Michaels to bring the show forward under that condition. However, in markets where the local Fox affiliate carries a late local newscast at 11 p.m ET./10 p.m. CT, the series was delayed to air within the first half-hour of SNL.
