The Chris Gethard Show Will Return to Public Access in April Awaiting Decision From Comedy Central

The Chris Gethard Show has taped its pilot for Comedy Central and is now awaiting the final call from network brass as to whether to give the series a greenlight or not. 

You’ll be happy to know that, in the interim, TCGS will return to doing regularly scheduled episodes on public access starting in April. Hopefully, they get the greenlight and there won’t be too much more gaps in not having new Gethard to watch.

Line-up For Comedy Central’s ‘The Half-Hour’ For 2014

This is a really solid line-up for this year’s half hour specials coming through at Comedy Central. The likes of Kurt Braunohler, Ron Funches, Fortune Feimster, Chris Gethard, Mark Normand, and more will be part of the 2014 edition of The Half Hour. 

In fact, many of these folks deserve a hour special, but we’ll settle for seeing them doing 22 min. on TV for now.

Chris Gethard’s Releasing First Comedy Album Apr. 22nd

In addition to having one of the higher profile pilots in development this pilot season with The Chris Gethard Show at Comedy Central, Chris Gethard is going to release a comedy album from Don Giovanni Records.

You can pre-order it now for digital and vinyl release and, who are you kidding, you should just go do that right now because you know you’ll want to hear this.

Chris Gethard and co. have been hard at work on their Comedy Central pilot and have been a little off the radar. 

Gethard, here, gives an update on how the pilot is going and ensures that the spirit of the show will remain the same despite what some people think in going from a public access show to a Comedy Central pilot.

The Chris Gethard Show Coming to The Bay Area To Put on Better Winter Olympics

Chris Gethard and company are coming to the West Coast finally and will be putting on their shenanigans Feb. 8th at the Eureka Theater after the start of The Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

They promise a much better, more entertaining version of The Olympics and we have no doubt that Gethard will succeed.

There is no “if” to qualify here; just go.

Chris Gethard to Continue Sandwich Night Annually at MNN

Though it would seem that the fate of The Chris Gethard Show hangs in the balance of being in development at Comedy Central, Chris Gethard has vowed that he will return to his roots at The Manhattan Neighborhood Network to host a Sandwich Night, a holiday celebration Gethard created himself.

Knowing this, Sandwich Night could become the Festivus for Thanksgiving.

Details on The Chris Gethard Show Pilot for Comedy Central

Details on The Chris Gethard Show Pilot for Comedy Central

A Q&A with Chris Gethard and company revealed some key details on the upcoming Comedy Central pilot for The Chris Gethard Show including the fact that he would love to fight Pete Holmes, it will be a half hour, it won’t be taped at MNN, show would hopefully air live, if the pilot isn’t picked up, then they’ll apparently wrap up TCGS for good, and more.

So, let’s cross our fingers or indulge whatever ritual you think maybe works to get this on the air (or if you’re a Comedy Central exec reading this, just make the appropriate call after the pilot to make sure it goes to series so The Chris Gethard Show can live on).

Comedy Central Orders ‘The Chris Gethard Show’ Pilot from Funny or Die and Zach Galifianakis

Comedy Central Orders ‘The Chris Gethard Show’ Pilot from Funny or Die and Zach Galifianakis

Sure, there’s plenty of paperwork to be done and Comedy Central does have to see a pilot (it’s not like there’s 116 episodes of it lying around anywhere, right?), but we can only hope this amazing news becomes even more amazing sooner rather than later by getting to The Chris Gethard Show as a full fledged television show.

Also, please note that Funny or Die, as far as we’re concerned, is swinging a pretty great batting average on TV with Billy on the Street, “@midnight w/Chris Hardwick”, and hopefully The Chris Gethard Show.

Chris Gethard to Live Tweet ‘Lethal Weapon’ Tonight on IFC

Another great example of two things we love brought together by IFC. This will be happening at 8PM on IFC, but we’re guessing Gethard will be live tweeting at 5PM PST.

IFC’s Development Slate Now Has a Garfunkel & Oates Pilot, Stop Motion Animation Dynasty Parody Pilot, and Much Much More

IFC announced today their latest additions to their development slate featuring 3 pilots and 8 scripts, which, from the looks of it, might make for one hell of a comedy channel.

Projects include as said above a Garfunkel and Oates pilot, scripts from Matt Besser, Rob Schrab, Megan Mullally, Chris Gethard, Tom Scharpling, Kyle Dunnigan, and more AND that stop motion animation Dynasty parody pilot featuring voice talents of Maria Bamford, Nick Kroll, Mike O’Connell, and more.

Basically, this is pretty great IFC.
