(EW.com ) -- FX has given a series order to "Baskets," a half-hour comedy starring "The Hangover's" Zach Galifianakis and hailing from recent Emmy winner Louis C.K. The comedy tells the story of Chip Baskets (Galifianakis), a man who dares to follow his dream of becoming a professional clown, but must join the local rodeo after failing to get into a prestigious clown school in Paris. What Louis C.K. didn't want you to know about 'Louie's' season premiere "Baskets" was co-written by executive producers Galifianakis, C.K., and director Jonathan Krisel ("Portlandia"), who will serve as showrunner. Blair Breard, Dave Becky, Marc Gurvitz, and Andrea Pett-Joseph will also serve as executive producers.
