There are so many theories on why the economy in this country is the way that it is. None explain it quite the way Kurt Metzger explains it.
Just watch this clip from his upcoming hour special Kurt Metzger: White Precious (premiering Fri. Jul. 11th at 11PM on Comedy Central) and see how well his explanation holds up.
Last night, Nathan For You premiered its second season and showed us all the power of a Ghost Realtor. Nathan Fielder aimed to make a realtor stand out against the competition by promising to sell houses that are free of ghastly presences.
This is simply amazing. Watch it here.
This is just a friendly neighborhood reminder that Drunk History and Nathan For You come back for their second seasons starting tonight.
More specifically, from 10PM to 11PM, you should be watching Comedy Central.

Armed with a microphone and the headlight switch, TJ Miller, whose also in Transformers: Age of Extinction, sat in a parked car and tricked people walking by that a real life Transformer was in their presence.
Of course, TJ isn’t your typical Transformer. Watch it here.
Cookies and polygraph tests are what Nathan Fielder is going to use to try to make this car mechanic not seem like he’s pulling a fast one on people when giving them estimates.
You can look forward to more ingenious ideas, and weird cookies perhaps, when Nathan For You returns next week.

Do yourself a favor by not missing these two hilarious folks and tuning into Comedy Central at 12AM and 12:30AM.
While on Kimmel to promote the latest season of Nathan For You, Nathan Fielder told of a wonderful party planning innovation, then shared where he might get his penchant for painstakingly detailed, committed tomfoolery. Apparently, that “apple doesn’t fall from the tree” saying applies.

Nathan For You returns July 1st at 10:30PM on Comedy Central making for one hell of a Tues. night (i.e. Drunk History, Nathan For You, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, “@midnight”)
For the longest time, it’s been known that the U.S. isn’t as in to soccer or, as the rest of the world calls it, football. As a result, some foreigners like to impress that fact on Americans when we participate in the World Cup, in which we’re currently doing not too shabby.
Yannis Pappas offered up a solution of sorts to this problem in his half hour special on Comedy Central that premiered this past weekend. Watch it here.
Producer Eric Falconer was enlisted by Derek Waters and Drunk History to tell the story of how the U.S. almost turned away the Statue of Liberty as a gift from France and Frederic Bartholdi.
Taran Killam plays Bartholdi, but more importantly, Falconer is drunk and playing with Play-doh while telling the story. Watch it here.

Comedy Central Renews Review, Inside Amy Schumer, and TripTank, and Orders a Bunch of New Series
As far as we’re concerned, Comedy Central really has stepped up its programming over the last couple of years and did a great job in re-imagining and expanding their brand.
So, it comes as great news, but no surprise to us that they renewed Review and TripTank for second seasons and Inside Amy Schumer for a third season on top of ordering Another Period with Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome and Idiotsitter with Jillian Bell and Charlotte Newhouse to series.
They also have ordered six new web series for CC:Studios: 6 Guys 1 Car, 300 Sunnyside, New Timers, Pie Guys, Roustabout with Kurt Braunohler and Team Tiger Awesome.
