Paul and Griffin will star in their own five-minute TV show, according to Bleacher Report. Jordan Brand announced that the "Lob City" duo will team up for "BGCP3TV in HD." Described as "Jordan Brand's first-ever sketch comedy-inspired campaign," the first episode will premiere on the Adult Swim network on Friday, Oct. 24 at 12:12 a.m. local time.
"On the bus, after practice or getting lunch, it seems like there's always a competition to make each other laugh," Paul said in a statement. "It's fun to come out here and give it a shot on our own comedy show."

"The funny thing is it doesn't really feel like acting," said Griffin. "This is pretty much just us being us, but in some pretty crazy situations that Neal Brennan came up with."
Brennan was a co-creator of "Chappelle's Show" and partnered with Jordan Brand to co-create and co-write "BGCP3TV."
"There are a lot of funny athletes out there, but it's rare that you see a guy like Blake - I can honestly say he's an actor who just happens to be an amazing basketball player," Brennan said. "But don't sleep on CP, either. Watching him, you see right away that he's got plenty of talent and the situational awareness needed to pull off the jokes."
Both Griffin and Paul are no strangers to acting as they star in a slew of commercial campaigns. Paul is known for his line of State Farm commercials and Griffin has done commercials for various products like Kia and Gamefly.
For a duo known for their dazzling alley-oop connections, it'll be interesting to see how their chemistry translates to comedy.
