Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to see Kenny Powers become a baseball announcer? On April 5, IFC may have your answer.

The Independent Film Channel is set to premiere Brockmire on that day, a television series dedicated to Jim Brockmire, a web character popularized by beloved actor Hank Azaria on the comedy website Funny or Die. The series will star the versatile Azaria in the titular role, portraying a wise-cracking, binge-drinking baseball play-by-play man who seeks redemption in the minor leagues after a nationally televised on-air meltdown.
