Forrest MacNeil/Andy Daly might have completely underestimated one of latest reviews on Review and ultimately wished he used his veto power to refuse.
Though knowing he was reviewing the experience of of being falsely accused of a crime, he had no idea it was going to be as serious as this.
While you may have no idea who might drop in at The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, you also have no idea might be in the audience.
This particular night, several lucky folks had no idea that Lauren Lapkus would sit next to them and then interrupt the show as Jonah Ray’s sister.
Watch how that played out here.
Since Hannibal Buress was the sidekick on The Eric Andre Show, it’s only fitting that Eric Andre stop by and chat with Hannibal on his own show, Why? with Hannibal Buress.
It’s also fitting that the visit is a little less than traditional/normal/etc.
Natasha Leggero got a new special coming on Aug. 22nd.
Lillian Schmemmerhorn-Fish will take a break from being part of The Bellacourts on Another Period to premiere a brand new hour of stand-up.
Natasha Leggero: Live at Bimbo’s will come out CC: Stand Up Direct on Aug. 17th, then airing on Aug. 22nd at 11PM on Comedy Central.
Even if you’re watching from the comfort of your own home, you should probably dress up.
You might think that Forrest MacNeil/Andy Daly has gone all out for his previous reviews by literally putting himself in harm’s way.
However, this latest review of trying to be a little person pushes Forrest to get more inventive than he has ever before.
Turns of phrase like lightning in a bottle can be a little curious, especially when it comes to considering them in a literal sense.
With that in mind, Key & Peele take wordplay to a whole other level in their latest sketch. Watch it here.
If you’ve both sincerely wondered what it would be like if high fives never existed and if sneezing would be racist, then quickly laughed it off because you were probably high, do yourself a favor and watch the latest episodes of Rich Fulcher’s Comedy Central web series Questionable Science.
Even if you don’t ponder such questions, it’s pretty damn funny to watch Fulcher ponder high five alternatives and actually entertaining racist sneezing as a thing. with a team including Jennie Pierson, Steve Agee, Pat Regan, Myke Wright, and more.
Also, be sure to check the credits. You won’t regret it.
Forrest’s latest review on Review had him to get laid on an airplane while in flight as the sole requirement of joining the ‘Mile High Club’, the experience he had been asked to review.
Given everything you know about Forrest and how things usually go for him on Review, you’d know that he’ll probably be able to handle pulling this feat off.
Just watch and see what happens and if he actually gets membership to the mile high club.
Rich Fulcher is the host of Comedy Central’s latest web series Questionable Science that sure does live up to its name.
They can’t even consider it fringe or pseudo science as Fulcher seems to have another goal in mind with his “queries”.
Watch as he answers(?) questions stoners would ask in the first episode of Questionable Science here.
Instead of a cavalcade of celebrities wishing him well, Jon Stewart brought together everything that pushed The Daily Show to greatness over the last 16 and a ½ years.
Stewart had almost all the correspondents over his tenure at the show appear including Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Nancy Walls, Rob Corddry, Jason Jones, Samantha Bee, Rob Riggle, Kristen Schaal, Mo Rocca, Nate Corddry, Larry Wilmore, John Oliver, Aasif Mandvi, Dan Bakkedahl, Vance DeGeneres, John Hodgman, Lewis Black, Michael Che, Ed Helms, Josh Gad, Dave Atell, Olivia Munn, Hasan Minhaj, Jessica Williams, Jordan Klepper, Al Madrigal, Wyatt Cenac (it seems like they’ve made up), and future host Trevor Noah.
If you take a look at that list of names, you’ll notice that many have gone on to have their own very successful careers, often getting their very own show to host or star in that you probably watch and enjoy like The Daily Show. In fact, it’s staggering who is on the list that comprises The Daily Show with Jon Stewart alumni considering how much star power has come from just one run of one show.
Colbert is hosting The Late Show, Carell is a bonafide Hollywood star, John Oliver has gain so much critical acclaim for his show Last Week Tonight and he’s only two seasons in, Ed Helms has also become a movie star, Larry Wilmore also got his own show, The Nightly Show, Jason Jones and Samantha Bee are about to premiere their own shows at TBS, John Hodgman has written books and gotten to tour as a comedian, Dave Attell is still one of the funniest stand-ups around, Rob Corddry has Childrens Hospital, Michael Che co-anchors Weekend Update on SNL and tours as a stand-up, Josh Gad has gotten to do both Frozen and The Comedians on FX, and Kristen Schaal co-stars in Last Man on Earth and has risen up as a comedian in her own right. That’s just what we can think of just off the top of our head.
Then, Stewart featured a quick round of his detractors and their parting shots including Arbys and Bill O’Reilly. Taking on his opponents head on, unafraid what they might fire back and being able to retort wonderfully made Stewart into the cultural icon that he is.
Near the close of the finale, he imparted some words of wisdom, or rather words to restore sanity, about being vigilant in watching for bullshit. It’s a message that Stewart always pushed for in the show, no matter how far left of the aisle anyone thought he was leaning, and it’s one of the clearest reasons Jon became a force to reckon with not only in comedy, but with pretty much anything that he talked about.
Also, Jon let Stephen Colbert go off script and pour his heart out at the end of the correspondent farewell bit, even though he started to tear up. It’s that sort of vulnerability that folks connected with well over a decade and will remember for years and years to come.
You can watch the full finale here if you haven’t already.
The Mets are in first place in their division, the Republican presidential candidate debates on Fox News are tonight, and Jon Stewart will unquestionably be leaving the cultural milestone he brought to prominence on the highest of high notes.
The Nightly Show has been preempted for an extra long episode (they’re going 52 min. tonight) of The Daily Show, which will be sure full of surprises, old friends, perhaps a farewell song or something of the sort all in tribute of the show’s legendary host.
Forget whatever else is on TV tonight and take a break from Netflix/Hulu/YouTube and make sure to watch the final episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart at 11PM on Comedy Central.
Just so you know, the debates are on at 9PM EST, so, no matter where you are, you’ll all have plenty of time to watch both things live.

With sketch covered, it looks like Comedy Central is getting into more narrative, live action series.
The latest addition to Comedy Central’s development slate is a pilot called Bad Couple from former SNL member Noël Wells and real life significant other Flint Wainess. The premise of the series is pretty well summed in the title.
If this goes to series, we can’t help but think how Wells and Wainess as a bad couple would stack up against Jimmy and Gretchen on You’re The Worst.
The mischief abounds when comedians Randy Liedtke, Brendon Walsh, and Johnny Pemberton are in the same room together. Just listen to The Bone Zone if you have any doubts about that.
Even if you put O.R. scrubs and put them in a hospital lounge, they’ll find a way to get really, unabashedly silly.
Just watch this.
After coming to peace with the self-destruction he plummeted into season one, Forrest MacNeil got right back into putting his life literally on the line in season two as his first review was for “bare knuckle brawling”.
Watch things go south for Forrest quicker than they did in season 1 here.
The showmanship involved in finishing your opponent on the battlefield, especially when you cut their head clean off with a giant sword is pretty impressive.
In fact, it’s so impressive that it might be a little hard to dismount from the performance.
Just let Key & Peele show you what we’re talking about.
It’s on tonight at 10PM on Comedy Central. Be sure to watch live or DVR it or stream it later.
In a single season, Andy Daly has created an absolutely indelible character, Forrest MacNeil, that TV history will remember fondly for all the times he has taken a perfectly good life and ruined it for what he thinks is the betterment of humankind.
So, once again, don’t miss season 2 of Forrest’s attempt to review life and possible descent into madness tonight.
One of things that could happen any week at The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail is spit takes, multiple spit takes, or even a whole round of spit take practice.
Watch and learn how to properly spit water in shock and surprise here.
Professional athletes have their every move watched by the likes of several sports media outlets and rightly so with the millions of dollars invested in them.
In their latest sketch, Key & Peele imagine a world where teachers, arguably some of the most crucial stewards of generations to come, get the treatment that those pro athletes get, which they deserve.
So, watch TeachingCenter here.
Big news: Nathan for You returns to @ComedyCentral on Oct 15. Put it in your calendar. I did! pic.twitter.com/PIkiE3Dk01
Of course, Nathan Fielder would opt for the misdirect route for announcing the premiere date of the new season of his new show rather than a press release.
Well, look for Nathan For You season 3 on Oct. 15 on Comedy Central at 10PM, then be sure to send Nathan get well cards on Nov. 3rd.

Comedy Central really wants to get into the Big Jay Oakerson and Dan Soder business.
Starting tonight, Oakerson and Soder will host The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Dan Soder on Comedy Central’s Sirius XM channel. They’ll do live shows Mon. and Wed. from 3PM to 5PM PST. Like a true blue radio show, they’ll be taking callers as well, which should make for plenty of fun if you know Dan and Big Jay.
On top of that, each of them will get their own hour long Comedy Central special that will premiere some time in 2016.
We’d hope that you’d know Oakerson and Soder from their previous stand-up specials, albums, TV/radio appearances, etc. by now. If you don’t, Comedy Central wants to make sure you do by next year.
Comedy Central’s latest web series, Nothin’s Easy, comes from the mind of one David Angelo.
In this series, you get to watch David show how no matter where you’re at in life, there are always going to be obstacles of some kind like trying to buy commercialized weed…
…or avoiding funding causes you don’t believe in…
…or the quality of your therapy off of Obamacare or trying to buy commercialized weed.
Whether you think those are obstacles that would really be considered taxing on a person or not, it’s still really fun to watch David Angelo go through them.

Keegan and Jordan want to emphasize that it’s them, not Comedy Central, that has brought them to this decision to end the show, which is regarded as a stand-out in this golden age of television.
After five groundbreaking seasons, both Key and Peele want the breathing room to explore other projects and passions and are thus bringing their highly acclaimed sketch series Key & Peele to a close.
Take note that they do want to keep working together plenty in the future. On leaving, Keegan says, “I’m thinking we could do that every three years – take a year, go bang out a movie. That’s the plan right now.”
So, before you go getting all wistful and start going through Key & Peele all over again (a thing you should totally do), remember this isn’t the end of one of the great comedy duos to ever be.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler don’t get to work on everything together, but it’s all the more special when they do and perhaps that what it will be like with Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele in the years to come.
Our favorite intrepid reviewer of life, Forrest MacNeil, is finally back and wasting no time in delving into the great quandaries of life.
In this particular case, that quandary just happens to be one of glory holes.
Watch Forrest begin his journey for this review here, then look for the premiere of season 2 of Review on July 30th on Comedy Central.
This latest sketch from Key & Peele goes behind the closed doors of a capella groups and the like that have one black guy that doesn’t like having his status as the token black guy challenged.
Watch how real it gets when two such token black guys collide here.
In the latest episode of Why? with Hannibal Buress, Hannibal made his way to a PETA protest and interviewed the defenders of animals rights.
For the most part, he found out how dedicated they are to the cause as well as made some of his clever semi-protest signs.
