Nathan Fielder Has The Idea to Come Underdressed to The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
Nathan Fielder of the very funny ‘Nathan For You’ on Comedy Central did a panel interview with Craig Ferguson last night.
It was pretty great, even though Nathan was wearing just a plaid shirt (as opposed to Selma Blair’s gorgeous black dress) and, as you guys might know, Nathan loves compliments.
Watch at the link.
In addition to getting a half hour on Comedy Central, his ‘Enjoy It’ expanded and onto Comedy Central, Brody Stevens now also has a web series through Comedy Central’s web arm, CC:Studios. Called ‘Push and Believe’, it’s more of the Brody we all have come to know, love, and laugh about. For instance, this first episode has Brody and the very funny Dan Soder feeding each other donuts in a hotel room and talking sports.
Told you we had more good Brody news this week.

South Park along with Comedy Central Records are joining in on Record Store Day on Apr. 20th, a day encouraging music listeners to actually go to a real record store to buy their music, by releasing a vinyl record featuring two songs from the show, “San Diego” and “Gay Fish”.
Of course, these are two things that we are very in support of, so make sure you go to a participating store and pick this limited edition 7-inch then play it on repeat.
Brody Stevens’ “Enjoy It” Coming to Comedy Central with More and Longer Episodes
The great behind the curtain series of Brody Stevens, Enjoy It, had a great run at HBO and now will have another go at Comedy Central. If you weren’t lucky enough to have an HBO subscription to see it on HBO GO, then do not miss it this time around.
Also, according to a source of ours, this is only the start of the good Brody news this week. #POSITIVE ENERGY

The tapings for the upcoming stand-up, animated hybrid show Mash-Up on Comedy Central just finished here in LA and without any hesitation whatsoever, we’ll tell you that it was astounding. Perhaps the title of this post isn’t much a surprise to you because you saw the pilot.
Yet, based off what we got to see at the El Rey Theater (and we had seen almost everyone run their sets before hand and still laughed hard), hardcore comedy fans to people that just want to laugh, but do not know where to look are absolutely in for a treat when it airs on Comedy Central.
Here’s a list of reasons why Mash-Up needs to be on your to watch list even before there’s an air date:
–The performances were the most natural that we’ve ever seen be taped. All the comics did their ultra-tightened A-material, but were incredibly loose with it; the way you might see them if you were to see them do it live (i.e. how a stand-up set should feel)
–“All the comics” included Tom Segura, Nick Vatterott, Reggie Watts, Chris Hardwick, Pete Holmes, Jon Dore, Hannibal Buress, and more along with TJ Miller hosting. This is the comedy people should be seeing.
–The sets were around 10 min., which is significantly longer than most late night TV sets and the segments that make up a half-hour special, giving anyone watching a much better sense of the comedian
-Throughout each episode, TJ gave a shout out to the comics that were on the show that he came up with in Chicago. Such camaraderie in comedy is a beautiful thing to be seen.
–We’re already thrilled at just the stand-up sets that we saw and we have only a little idea what the visualized parts of the jokes/bits look like. Creator, Director, and Producer Jordan Vogt-Roberts has been nothing short of amazing since his work as part of the Blerds, arguably, the inception of what is now this show.
-Lastly, the stage is amazing. There’s a recreated Mario Bros. 2 select screen as a back-drop and, as TJ Miller commented at the taping, those are the world’s biggest tassels.
The flashy card above isn’t something that comedian Rob Delaney just had made for himself.
Well, maybe it is, but is was also made for his Comedy Central pilot that just taped, @RobDelaney (yes, that’s the name of the show, which is brilliant move on Delaney’s part), which we were so lucky to catch, enjoy, and laugh heartily.
As it’s in pilot stage right now, we won’t say too much about what we saw, but @RobDelaney has the potential to finally put a button on the whole conversation about Twitter and its relevance in comedy. Many comedians agree their regular non-comedy peers in that more often than not Twitter is vapid waste of time. However, the National Lampoon Twitter King, in the taping we were at, brought to light what being funny 140 characters at a time can become if you foster a voice and diligently build a following.
@RobDelaney utilizes a variety of different aspects of the social media giant such as hashtags and trending topics as well as celebrities tweeting stupid, inane garbage to make for something that has promise for genuine laughs. Most importantly, Delaney’s hilarious and unlike the horde of clip/pop culture shows, it’s something we haven’t really seen before because of the Twitter aspect (If What’s Trending with Shira Lazar just came to mind, you do know that’s not funny all the time, right?).
Hopefully, with Comedy Central’s blessing, the rest of the world will get to see the face and voice of Rob Delaney because they need to.
