If bite-sized chicken can grow up, so can you!  COMEDY CENTRAL has teamed up with KFC to create the original digital series and contest “Growing Up and Getting Out.”  Launching today, the five episode web series taps into the growing numbers of millennials (1 in 4) who are moving back home to live with their parents.  The partnership also launches a socially-fuelled contest that asks fans each week to share pictures and stories on freerentcontest.com that express the humorous side of living at home with their parents.  At the end of the campaign (July 17 – August 20), five winners will receive ‘rent for the year’ in the amount of $12,000 cash.  Winners will also receive an additional $500 in cash and $600 in KFC Chicken Checks redeemable for Original Recipe Bites or other KFC products to cater a moving out party.  Winners will be encouraged to give $100 of the Chicken Checks to their parents in celebration of “Growing Up and Getting Out.”
The digital original “Growing Up and Getting Out” features a talented cast from stand-up, improv and sketch comedy.  The series, which launched on July 17 (freerentcontest.com), revolves around Michael (played by comedian Michael Palascak) and chronicles funny moments as he adjusts to moving back home with his parents (played by comedians Dave Koechner [“The Office,” “Anchorman”] and Mo Collins [“MADtv”]).  Rounding out the cast are Alexis Knapp (“Project X”) as Michael’s date, Allyn Rachel as his sister, Daveo Mathias as his friend and “The League’s” Steve Rannazissi as the series host.  Each week, the series will capture the drama, tensions and funny moments between at-home millennials and their parents – Homecoming (July 17); Dinner (July 23); Chores (July 30); Date (August 6) and Video Games (August 13).
