Next up, in addition to developing that reality show, Smith is currently shooting a talk show pilot that will be sort of his own unique blend of Regis & Kelly and The Daily Show. Read more about both after the jump.

Starting with Red State, here’s the new trailer. It’s not officially “Red Band” but should be considered as such as it’s filled with language and violence. Probably NSFW.

Then, there’s this new poster that – if we’re being honest – is the best representation of the movie to date.

Thanks to The SIRmon for the heads up on both of those things. Tickets are also now on sale for the Red State New Beverly run. They’re $20 each, which is about three times what movies usually cost there, but Smith will be on hand for almost all of the screenings.

Oh, and if you are in Canada, tickets are also on sale for the Red State Provinces Tour beginning August 14.

Moving away from Red State, Smith called out to his Twitter followers Tuesday asking if anyone in Los Angeles would want to be part of the audience for a TV pilot that he’d be hosting all week. Vulture followed up that surprise announcement with a bunch more info. Here’s what they uncovered:

If you’ve heard any of Smith’s Q&A’s, his podcasts, or shows on S.I.R., you know he has the personality for something like this. The biggest issue I foresee is that Smith is at his best when he’s uncensored. If the show really was being positioned for Fox, would you want to see a G-rated Smith?
