CC:Studios Taking Submissions for Female Roommate of Female Comedian
Comedy Central’s CC:Studios is doing a new web series that will involve a female comedian rooming with another female and, assumedly, seeing what happens.

The Chris Gethard Show To Continue Even Though Comedy Central Has Passed On It
The Chris Gethard Show To Continue Even Though Comedy Central Has Passed On It
Comedy Central has passed on picking up The Chris Gethard Show to series. This is unfortunate as we perhaps won’t get to see what TCGS did for a pilot, but Gethard says that other networks are interested and that “TCGS will end not when someone drops an axe on us, but when we want it to end. We will bring it to its conclusion on our own terms, the same way we’ve done every other step of this process.”
So despite the possibility of The Chris Gethard Show ending if it didn’t get picked up, we’re happy to hear that Gethard got his public access show made into a cable network pilot and especially that TCGS “…ain’t dead yet”
The Minority Report With Larry Wilmore To Replace The Colbert Report in Jan. 2015
The Minority Report With Larry Wilmore To Replace The Colbert Report in Jan. 2015
All your bated breaths can now be let go. A Daily Show correspondent will indeed replace Stephen Colbert when he leaves for The Late Show to replace David Letterman starting in Jan. 2015 (coupled with Ferguson’s exit at the end of this year, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert should start around the same time).
Senior Black Correspondent Larry Wilmore, who’s credits run also include The Office and a Showtime special, will host The Minority Report with Larry Wilmore following The Daily Show and we challenge the Internet to be upset with this choice.

IFC Has New, More Fitting Logo
IFC Has New, More Fitting Logo
Given the prevalence of offbeat comedy at IFC these days, this new logo is definitely more appropriate, wouldn’t you say?
There are slight echoes of Comedy Central’s old logo here, which, if you can see the small resemblance, is ironic as Comedy Central now has a logo that closer to IFC’s old one. Comedy Central and IFC haven’t changed places programming wise, but IFC definitely programs much more comedy in place of the many foreign indie documentaries as they used to air ten years ago.

Really, Gaffigan simply did a nice chunk of his act in conversation, which left Fallon slapping his desk laughing throughout the whole thing pretty much.

Comedy Central Picks Up This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir to TV Series
Here’s another great case of where a great web series that has cultivated quite a following gets picked up to air on actual TV. The darkly humorous storytelling show This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir has done two great seasons at CC:Studios and now will be a full fledged TV show.
Not only are we looking forward to when this premieres on TV, but we’re excited on how Comedy Central has been expanding their branding over the last couple of years.

Comedy Central Sets Up Cop Comedy Pilot From Happy Endings’ Caspe/Libman/Tarses
Comedy Central Sets Up Cop Comedy Pilot From Happy Endings’ Caspe/Libman/Tarses
Procedural comedies seem to be the hot commodity at the moment, perhaps, thanks to Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s success just in its first season. There’s Tribeca from Steve Carell at TBS, Sober Companion with Nick Frost at Fox, and now a cop comedy pilot from the creator, writers, and producers of Happy Endings David Capse, Matthew and Daniel Libman, and Jamie Tarses.
For the overflow of hour long procedural dramas and their numerous spin offs, we’re liking this trend.

Comedy represents a very small percentage of the winners of this prestigious honor and we’re glad it went to such a deserving show like Key & Peele.
Stephen Colbert Responds to #CancelColbert Like Colbert Only Can
We don’t even want to get into the rhetoric of denouncing those looking to be outraged, specifically those who started the #CancelColbert hashtag.
Just watch parts one and two of Stephen Colbert’s response on the Colbert Report that clears his name, even though he really didn’t have to do so.
