Details on The Chris Gethard Show Pilot for Comedy Central

A Q&A with Chris Gethard and company revealed some key details on the upcoming Comedy Central pilot for The Chris Gethard Show including the fact that he would love to fight Pete Holmes, it will be a half hour, it won’t be taped at MNN, show would hopefully air live, if the pilot isn’t picked up, then they’ll apparently wrap up TCGS for good, and more.

So, let’s cross our fingers or indulge whatever ritual you think maybe works to get this on the air (or if you’re a Comedy Central exec reading this, just make the appropriate call after the pilot to make sure it goes to series so The Chris Gethard Show can live on).

CC:Studios’ Push and Believe with Brody Stevens was released earlier this year in tandem with their half hour specials.

One episode that didn’t get release until now was one with Brody Stevens and Brody Stevens. That wasn’t a typo. Brody interviews himself on his own show, which actually seems normal and, of course, hilarious and perfect for his series airing now on Comedy Central on Sunday nights, Enjoy It!

Watch Brody and Brody here.

Comedy Central Orders Asylum Comedy Pilot From Nick Turner & Lee Rubenstein

Comedy Central Orders ‘The Chris Gethard Show’ Pilot from Funny or Die and Zach Galifianakis

Sure, there’s plenty of paperwork to be done and Comedy Central does have to see a pilot (it’s not like there’s 116 episodes of it lying around anywhere, right?), but we can only hope this amazing news becomes even more amazing sooner rather than later by getting to The Chris Gethard Show as a full fledged television show.

Also, please note that Funny or Die, as far as we’re concerned, is swinging a pretty great batting average on TV with Billy on the Street, “@midnight w/Chris Hardwick”, and hopefully The Chris Gethard Show.

Even with all of that, Brody has still managed to do around 2500 warm up performances for shows, which we can only attribute to #positiveenergy.

“@midnight w/Chris Hardwick” Gets 40 Week Order From Comedy Central

We feel like this is one of the rare occasions where we had little doubt that a show like this would get renewed and then, that actually happened instead of us scratching our heads as to what networks are thinking by listening to increasingly irrelevant Nielsen ratings.

Well, we cannot wait for more “@midnight” coming soon as well as the barrel fun of awesome comedians that America will get to see for the first time.

Steve Rannazzisi First Hour Stand Up Special ‘Manchild’ Premiering Next Week on Comedy Central

Many of you might know Steve Rannazzisi from The League on FXx, but he’s also a great stand-up comedian as well.

Knowing how well Steve channels his anger in his stand up, it might be worth it to spend 5 clams.

Bill Cosby ‘Far From Finished’ Premiere Later This Month

After three entire decades, Bill Cosby’s latest comedy special will hit TV on Comedy Central on Sat. Nov. 23rd 8PM under the very appropriate title Far From Finished.

In semi-Cosby style, it’s a 90 min. special rather than the traditional hour special. It will also be on Blu-Ray/DVD the following Tues. Nov. 26th.

So, just know that this is what you will be watching on that Saturday (we were there and it was everything we’ve expected from watching Cosby from start to finish) and this will be the gift you will be giving to the comedy fan in your life (even if that’s you or they have already got their own copy because they’ll want two).
