“It’s tough to be a Saint in Sin City” says the trailer for a new Las Vegas-set comedy series, “Sin City Saints.” Yahoo’s streaming comedy makes its debut March 23, 2015 and we’ll be watching. Because Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The trailer for the new online series about a pro basketball team is a mixed bag of sitcom tropes and edgy comedy, but the show appears to have promise, despite the participation of Tom Arnold.<\/p>\n

\"Sin
“Sin City Saints” comes from Mandalay Sports Media. No relation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The show’s executive producer is Mike Tollin<\/a>, who also produced “Smallville,” “Varsity Blues” and 2005’s “Coach Carter.” The producer and director of “Sin City Saints,” Bryan Gordon, has a fairly solid pedigree, too, having worked on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Office” and a billion other shows, some of which we actually recognized.<\/p>\n

“Sin City Saints” is scheduled for eight episodes, and stars Andrew Santino as a tycoon (presumably a mash-up of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and dipshit former Clippers owner Donald Sterling) who buys a basketball franchise because, in the character’s words, he’s bored.<\/p>\n

There are some familiar faces in the trailer, including cameos by longtime Vegas performer Penn Jillette and Carrot Top (see below).<\/p>\n

\"Carrot
Carrot Top’s show at Luxor is a must-see in Las Vegas. We were as surprised as you are.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Former NBA players Rick Fox and Baron Davis are also in the cast, as well as Malin Akerman (“Watchmen”), B.K. Cannon, Justin Chon and Keith Powers.<\/p>\n
