Simon Fuller has been approached by Matt Lucas and David Walliams to "develop" the show for American audiences, Fuller's spokeswoman confirmed.
His spokeswoman would not comment on whether the Bafta-winning BBC show might change its characters or format for the US. It's early days yet so who knows what they may do. The first three series have already been broadcast on BBC America partnering with HBO. Although the show has yet to find mainstream appeal it does have a strong cult following.
Fuller began his career by identifying up-and-coming talent for record company Chrysalis. Although Fuller did not bring together the Spice Girls, he secured the record deal which would see their debut hit Wannabe top the charts in 37 countries.
Fuller has said he specialises in "creating fame and celebrity" He also launched pop group S Club 7 and then doubled his fortune with the TV talent show Pop Idol which has been succesfully copied by shows such as X Factor.
The show brought fame to UK artists including Will Young and Gareth Gates, with US singers such as Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aitken emerging from the US version, American Idol.
Mainstream appeal It's a long way from where the pair started. Lucas and Walliams took their first show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1995 and developed character-based comedies for TV through the series Sir Bernard's Stately Homes and Rock Profiles.
Little Britain began as a radio programme five years ago and has gone on to become a stage show since the characters gained mainstream recognition on BBC television.
The BBC has now signed the comedy duo to an exclusive 3 year deal which means they cannot work for any other broadcaster. Happy days!!!
It has announced they are planning a sketch show for next year which could incorporate Little Britain characters.
However, it is unclear whether this is the programme intended to launch them to a wider US audience.
