'10 Items Or Less'

Link: Kansas City Star | 11/26/2006 | COMEDY CHECKOUT.

When TBS went shopping for shows to stock its new late-night comedy aisle, it called on Kansas City native John Lehr.

The 40-year-old actor, performer and writer came up with “10 Items or Less,” an infectiously funny improvised sitcom set at a down-in-the-mouth grocery store. The show, which debuts 10 p.m. Monday on TBS, is the latest addition to Lehr’s eclectic resume, which ranges from the forgettable (hosting “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!”) to the memorable (he’s one of the Geico cavemen seen in those wildly popular TV ads).
