Kanye West is to work with US network Comedy Central on a new series described as "hip-hop meets the Muppets".

Billboard reports that a half-hour pilot episode has been shot for the series, which is tentatively titled 'Alligator Boots'.

If a full series is ordered, it will feature music produced and performed by West and another rapper, Rhymefest, and will have a different celebrity guest every week.

West, who hosted the pilot, also worked as executive producer on the project.

His new album, '808s & Heartbreak', is set for release on 16 December.
