Omar Sings! Funny or Die Presents 'The Wire: The Musical' All credit to the folks at Funny or Die (and the original "Wire" cast members Michael Kenneth Williams, Sonja Sohn, Larry Gilliard Jr., Andre Royo and Felicia Pearson) for creating a version of that gritty, hard-bitten HBO crime drama that we could finally post on this blog. Also, no matter what it says at the end of this video, we're sure that David Simon, "The Wire" creator, will find a reason to hate this lighthearted and purely celebratory parody too.
