This documentary gives us a lot of insight as to what the show could've looked like, and we can even see a few completed scenes. Although this is the case, due to the fact that the show was not picked up by Comedy Central the pilot never aired. Due to this, there is no chance that anyone had a recording of the pilot. Right now, it is unknown who currently still has the pilot. There is a chance that either Comedy Central kept the pilot, or one of the producers of the pilot might still have a copy.
