According to Deadline, Dawson’s comedy series, called “Losin’ It,” has been sold and put into development by NBC.  The project has TV series “The Big C” creator Darlene Hunt on board as a writer, based on scripts she co-penned with Dawson, and as an executive producer along with Dawson.

The show is based on Dawson’s own experiences, and will revolve around a weight loss center client becoming a consultant at his center and then finds himself promoted to manager on his first day.

Dawson, who is known for musical parodies and comedy videos on his ShaneDawsonTV channel (the 36th most subscribed channel on YouTube), used to be overweight himself, and once worked at weight loss company Jenny Craig before he began uploading videos to YouTube in 2008. Besides his three YouTube channels, which have over 9 million subscribers combined, he also currently hosts popular podcast “Shane and Friends.”

Alan is a mystery to everyone, including the staff at NMR. All that's known of him is that he is the epitome of a brilliant writer. Accordingly, his works are often misunderstood and of course, always under-appreciated. Expect to see his novels for sale on a bookshelf near you one day, but only if the bookshelf near you happens to be his bookshelf, and loose leaf Xerox copies of his handwritten journals filled with the erotically charged tales of one Astronaut Johnny Danger Hughes and his sidekick, Pancho the Chow Chow, can be considered 'novels.'
