Matt Porter and Charlie Hankin, otherwise known as Good Cop Great Cop, return in season 2 of their wonderfully dry post-apocalyptic comedy New Timers.
Get a look of how they’ll chill out a few more hundred days after the world ended in this trailer, then look new episodes online from Comedy Central this Fri. Sept. 18th.
Steve Rannazzisi’s first hour special Manchild premiered on Comedy Central last year and Steve is now following that up with a brand new hour special for this year, Breaking Dad.
You can see a preview/why there’s a been a transition in titles from Manchild to Breaking Dad here.
Catch the premiere this Sat. Sept. 19th at 11PM on Comedy Central.
Things not only keep going further south for Forrest MacNeil on Review, but get worst on top of that.
Case in point: his latest review of being buried alive and the announcement he gets while being buried alive.
Sat. Oct. 10th is the date to be exact.
Mark down that date because you’ll want to catch Paul F. Tompkins latest one hour special Crying and Driving in its worldwide television premiere on Comedy Central.
We were lucky enough to be in attendance for the taping at the gorgeous Palace Theatre in downtown LA and can tell you that, after watching it, Tompkins should be one of the permanent definitions for the phrase “absolute delight”.

They’ve already got one going with James Davis’ Swag-A-Saurus.
The volatile media of Snapchat continues to grow in popularity and, as such, Comedy Central is getting on board with planning to do more shows soon with the likes of folks that we really dig: Liza Treyger, Nikki Glaser, Michelle Wolf, and Yassir Lester.
We’ll be curious to see if they can drive people to use Snapchat for the first time in order to see these shows.
Forrest MacNeil’s life he been ruined in so many ways over the course of a season and a half of Review with reviewing many of the darker aspects of humanity.
So, naturally, getting a lighter topic like public speaking would only leave him to explore the more catastrophic possibilities of such an act.
Watch how that would happen here.
There’s no real context we can or wish to give you to watch this latest Key & Peele sketch.
We will say that if this is a sort of thing that Jordan Peele would have in his foray into the horror genre, then we can’t wait to see what he’s concocting right now.
With that, you should just watch and enjoy Marbles here.
Even if you had other plans this Labor Day Weekend, prepare to go to 80s to the max and then some.
The much anticipated 80s animated action series Moonbeam City from Scott Gairdner doesn’t premiere until Sept. 16th at 10:30PM on Comedy Central.
However, you can preview the first episode thanks to Comedy Central right now, right here.
Be sure to adjust your screen for all the neon that’s about to come your way.
It starts midnight tonight on Comedy Central.
Don’t miss out the latest editions of Comedy Central’s The Half Hour featuring half-hour stand-up specials from both Michelle Buteau, who just came out with an album, and Barry Rothbart.
Michelle’s airs at 12AM and Barry’s airs right after at 12:30AM. Set a reminder or your DVR accordingly.
This is actually going to be a pretty great Labor Day Weekend for Michelle Buteau as her half hour special premieres on Comedy Central on Saturday night at midnight, which will follow the release of her album Shut Up! that’s out today.
On Shut Up!, Buteau showcases a nice sheen of attitude in order to connect with the audience on a more vulnerable level, which she does deftly, when delving into personal material about topics like being in an interracial, cross-contintental marriage. It’s almost like a great hang out with Michelle that gets into more truthful territory throughout.
Get Shut Up! here.
If only Forrest MacNeil/Andy Daly had to review on Review what it would be like to be the world’s unluckiest man, he would, for once, merely present his life as he has unfortunately lived it.
Just watch his reviews for making a birthday wish come true and taking a peaceful sojourn to see Forrest go through his own personal circles of hells.
The rollout of promotion for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah has indeed begun leading up to the Sept. 28th premiere with this promo released yesterday and now these two promos released today.
Glad to see that the deranged millionaire John Hodgman is going to still be around.
The Best F#@cking News Team will be back at it soon enough when The Daily Show with Trevor Noah premieres at the end of the month on Sept. 28th.
Just check Hasan Minhaj, Jessica Williams, Jordan Klepper preparing for it in this new promo.
Your all time favorite inebriated history class is back tonight as Drunk History kicks off its season 3 premiere on Comedy Central at 10:30PM.
Need a little taste of what they got concocted for this season?
There was a really big jump, tone and content wise, from the original Gremlins to the sequel Gremlins 2 to the point where it almost seemed like a sequel of another movie.
This has beleaguered the minds of Key & Peele to the point where they have come up with this sketch that’s not an unreasonable explanation to explain the disparity between the first and second movie.
Here’s more proof that if you’re not watching Review starring Andy Daly, then you’re making a huge mistake.
A recent review that Forrest MacNeil/Andy Daly is tasked with on the show is what it’s like to be in a haunted house. Naturally, Forrest went to the house that his ex-wife and himself used to live in.
Reading internet comments about something you created is one thing.
Secretly watching a focus group freely express their thoughts about your one hour stand-up special is a whole other terrifying thing altogether.
Yet, Natasha Leggero did just that for her “Live at Bimbo’s” special that just aired this past weekend.
Watch Natasha handle her focus group that was ambivalent about her comedy like a pro, then go watch her special at CC:Direct.

You didn’t think they were just going to have a new host and that be it, did you?
The exit of Jon Stewart from The Daily Show and the impending arrival of his successor Trevor Noah not only means someone new sitting at the chair, but the start of a new era.
With this new era of The Daily Show, Comedy Central has opted to bulk up the show’s digital presence by bringing on Baratunde Thurston, formerly of The Onion and CEO of Cultivated Wit, to produce original content online.
If you’ve ever seen the Comedy Hack Day he puts on around the country, you know that both Comedy Central and Baratunde have something good up their sleeve.
Sure, watching the head of a big company go undercover amongst his own employees then revealing himself as the boss to the delight of some and dismay of others is entertaining.
Key and Peele’s version is, of course, more entertaining, perhaps filled with more “drama”. Watch it here.
As none of these conflict with their time slots, it looks like you should be watching a whole lot of great stand-up tonight.
8PM on Comedy Central–Natasha Leggero: Live at Bimbo’s
10PM on HBO–Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted
Midnight on Comedy Central–The Half Hour: Liza Treyger and Hampton Yount
Don’t miss out on any of this.
The most neon color palette, the biggest hair, tons of synth, the voices of Rob Lowe, Will Forte, Kate Mara, and Elizabeth Banks and rampant drugs/violence should make for a whole bunch of fun in Comedy Central’s Moonbeam City from Scott Gairdner.
Just watch this latest trailer and you’ll see exactly what we’re talking about as well as want to watch the series premiere on Wed. Sept. 16th at 10:30PM on Comedy Central.
The fertility dance worked: #AnotherPeriod has been renewed for another season. pic.twitter.com/HkptnbYeNI
If you’ve thoroughly enjoyed the craziness of the gilded age family, The Bellacourts, you’ll be overjoyed to know that Comedy Central has ordered another season of Another Period.
You’ll get to spend a whole other season with them and their ridiculously wealthy ways that make Jay Gatsby look like a saint.
While Jon Stewart is now off hosting pro wrestling, the premiere of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is just over a month away.
Even though it’s pretty much the same team, same studio, same desk, and same chair, you can get your look at the new host and the new graphics in this brief teaser.
Then, tune into the world premiere of Trevor Noah as the new Daily Show host at 11PM on Mon. Sept. 28th on Comedy Central.

Hell hath no fury like an army of comedians on social media.
UPDATE: According to our sources, Josh Ostrovsky’s pilot had not gone forward at Comedy Central well before this weekend when the outlash over his plagiarism went viral.
In a tale of just comeuppance, online personality Josh Ostrovsky, better known as The Fat Jew, who has somehow gotten a gigantic 5.7 million following on Instagram by posting captions to various photos has suffered the wrath of the comedy community.
Many of those jokes posted by Ostrovsky are lifted, stolen, and plagiarized from other comedians. There’s plenty of proof unlike dozens of accusations of joke thievery that are really just parallel thought.
Last week, CAA signed him as a client and the wide scope of his growing empire was seen with plenty of promotional contracts as well as a pilot in development at Comedy Central.
Over the weekend, hundreds of comedians, both big and small, took to all outlets of social media to highlight how Ostrovsky has stolen jokes. Even though it happened awhile ago, it’s a good thing that Ostrovsky no longer has that Comedy Central pilot in development.
Hopefully, talent will be looked more into by various companies and agencies beyond how big their social media following is.
Paul Scheer yet again does not go on The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail simply as a comedian, but rather, this time, as a Vine star doing stand-up.
The name that Paul came up with, Bling Ringa Xisle, should clue you in to how great this is.
