Comedy Central’s Latest Series Order Goes to “Detroiters” From Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson

October 20, 2015

comedy central, detroit, detroiters, jason sudeikis, sam richardson, tim robinson

This should offer a nice contrast to Another Period.

It’s set in the modern day and it follows two native sons of Detroit, who happen to be in advertising, trying to make their town seem great again as opposed to the turn-of-the-century, ridiculous wealth of Newport, Rhode Island.

Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson both hail from Detroit, as well as SNL and Veep respectively, and they’ll be occasionally running into Jason Sudeikis in their trials and travails as “Detroiters”.

Comedy Central has got 10 episodes of the series lined-up, but a premiere date has yet to be announced.

One of the original and go to narrators for Drunk History is Mark Gagliardi. Thus, what would this latest season be without him attempting to recount an oft-overlooked annal in history if not incomplete.

Mark sure came through with the story of Bass Reeves, a man of such Wild West legend that a fictitious legend was based off of him, as well as professions of love, lying face down on the floor, etc.

Watch it all in its Drunk History glory here.

Hannibal Buress had been working for awhile on developing a show at Comedy Central in which he would be the focal point. As you know, he eventually got Why? with Hannibal Buress off the ground.

Before that, Hannibal had a pilot for a show Unemployable where Hannibal attempts other jobs while having no real work experience outside of comedy. It didn’t get picked up, but after watching it we sincerely hope that it gets picked up somewhere else.

Watch the pilot here to see what we’re talking about.

It’s been more than couple of years since we’ve seen an hour long comedy special from the great Paul F. Tompkins. Of course, that has a lot to do with him churning out his other great works like No, You Shut Up!, Dead Authors, Spontaneanation, Superego, Thrilling Adventure Hour, Comedy Bang! Bang!, and way more.

However, the wait, even though there has been plenty of Paul to go around in the meantime, for a new Tompkins special is over as Crying and Driving will premiere this Sat. Oct. 10th at 11PM on Comedy Central.

The Descent Into Madness for the 2nd Season of “Review” Might Just Be as Good as the First

October 2, 2015

With his life and well-being constantly in danger, one might wonder how the close of the second season of Review might come about without just outright killing host Forrest MacNeil and living up to the fight at the end of season one.

Well, the show ingeniously has Forrest review conspiracy theories, which leads him to create a conspiracy theory about the reviews he’s assigned. That’s as much as we’ll say for fear of spoiling of anything else.

comedy central, the daily show, trevor noah, viacom

At the stroke of 11PM, it’ll be hard to miss the new Daily Show.

The restart of one of Comedy Central’s pillars, The Daily Show, comes tonight as the show’s third host, Trevor Noah sits behind the desk that millions watch Jon Stewart night in and night out for well over a decade.

As this is such a momentous occasion, Viacom, which owns Comedy Central, is going to have the premiere air across all their networks including MTV and VH1.

While that’s certainly going to boost their ratings, there will undoubtedly be a whole bunch of folks that watch the episode online afterwards.

Still, if you’re looking to watch the premiere live, tune into Comedy Central at 11PM for the inaugural episode of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

The teaser for the latest season of Nathan For You was already a bit discombobulating.

Religious days of atonement that require fasting are never easy.

Fortunately, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer have got a new Hack Into Broad City webisode to make the not eating at all, if you’re observing Yom Kippur, way easier.

Here’s a Teaser for Season 3 of “Nathan For You”

September 21, 2015

comedy central, nathan fielder, nathan for you

If this teaser proves anything, it’s that Nathan Fielder might have made a more unbelievable season of Nathan For You than the previous ones..

WIth Fielder, someone who manages to consistently fool most of the Internet, that’s really saying something. Perhaps, this is just in of itself a clever ruse. Either way, we’re in for more of Fielder coming next month.

Season 3 of Nathan For You is set to premiere on Comedy Central on Thurs. Oct. 15th.

Bunches of Funches week on @midnight starts tomorrow. Vs. Threats like @DougBenson, @MegaLoweManiac, @chrisdelia pic.twitter.com/7yNIOSaA9g

Ron Funches is so dominant on @midnight that the show is pitting him to go through a gauntlet week to see if he can remain victorious throughout. We have no doubt that he’ll put his unstoppable charm on display for any and all challengers.

This Bunches of Week starts this week, which you should note as The Daily Show with Trevor Noah still hasn’t premiered yet, airs at 11PM on Comedy Central.

Steve Rannazzisi’s “Breaking Dad” Will Air as Scheduled on Comedy Central

September 20, 2015

breaking dad, comedy central, comedy special, steve rannazzisi

Looks like Buffalo Wild Wings and Comedy Central have taken different approaches to handling this week’s Steve Rannazzisi debacle.

Despite getting a lot of heat for his admission that his 9/11 escape story was a lie, Steve Rannazzisi’s apologies seem to have been enough to keep his new hour special, Breaking Dad, from being pre-empted, moved, etc. at Comedy Central.

Its premiere is set for 11PM tonight on Comedy Central and we’re sure that some folks will be probably trying to fact check every single bit.

Seeing how all this spun out of control years after the lie was told, it would be thoroughly intriguing now to see Steve be interviewed Brian Williams on his new show if they went in-depth into their fabrications.

The master impressionist and one of our favorite comedians around, James Adomian, got to bring his latest and greatest impression on @midnight with Chris Hardwick last night.

Of course, James gave a great glimpse of what the spirited Sen. Sanders could bring to the podium of a game show along side Heather Anne Campbell and Jon Daly.

Please enjoy some shouting and pointing that wasn’t in the Republican presidential debates last night.

Maybe Sen .Sanders will have Adomian’s impression of him as a running mate?

Sorry, Cosby. https://t.co/XXgFRaeZPr

Comedy Central has just announced that they’re re-upping the replacement for The Colbert Report, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, for another whole year as things have sailed seemingly quite well for Wilmore.

2016 being an election year should prove a good time for both The Nightly Show as well as The Daily Show with its new host, Trevor Noah.

May Wilmore get to keep on keepin’ It 100 for many more years to come.
