Uncategorized

Jake Weisman, Matt Ingebretson, and Pat Bishop’s ultra dark workplace comedy, Corporate, finally has its series premiere at 10PM tonight on Comedy Central.

Simply put, it’s fantastic and you should absolutely watch it (even if you streamed the four episodes that were streaming online already).

By the way, here’s a great “message” from Hampton DeVille the corporation in Corporate.

Comedy Central’s First Live Daily Morning Radio Show Will Be “You Up with Nikki Glaser” on SiriusXM

Comedy Central’s First Live Daily Morning Radio Show Will Be “You Up with Nikki Glaser” on SiriusXM

Nikki Glaser having her own show again (Not Safe and Nikki and Sara Live ended far too early in our opinion) was long overdue. 

This time around, you’ll get to hear Nikki along with Tom Thakkar four days a week, Mon.-Thurs., from 7AM-9AM PST on Comedy Central’s SiriusXM Channel (they’ll repeat it for those not up that early). 

For those that decry stereotypical morning radio, this will be a welcome change of pace.

The Jim Jefferies Show Renewed by Comedy Central

Twenty more episodes of The Jim Jefferies Show will be coming to Comedy Central later this year, which continues the network down the highly topical path they started last year with this show, The President Show, and The Opposition with Jordan Klepper. 

Let’s see if they can top having Brad Pitt as a “weatherman” this season.

Tonight, Ed Helms return to his Daily Show roots by doing an entire fake news special that, thus far, seems to have nothing to do with The Daily Show with Trevor Noah or The Opposition with Jordan Klepper.

The Fake News with Ted Nelms premieres tonight at 10PM on Comedy Central. 

Just so you know what’s coming, here’s a clip of breaking down a pressing issue: “trolls”.

Imagine Office Space as reimagined by David Fincher in a TV series and you might start getting on the level of the deliciously dark workplace comedy that is Jake Weisman, Matt Ingebretson, and Pat Bishop’s Corporate. 

See for yourself in this trailer.

Then, after you’re of course hooked, you can treat yourself to watching four episodes that are now streaming for your convenience at CC.com here with cable subscription.

After all of that, mark down Wednesday, January 17th for the series premiere because, we’re guessing that, like us, you’ll want way more Corporate (just in the fictional TV sense anyway).

Like Trevor Noah says in this interview, Tiffany Haddish is the human equivalent of a sun shining light to us all. 

She shares some stories with Noah that are all written down (and spoken in audiobook form) in her new book The Last Black Unicorn, which you can (and should) get here. 

As you can clearly see (as well as hear on her episode of The Crabfeast), it’ll be one hell of a book.

Well, leave it to a darkly satirical workplace comedy series from Jake Weisman, Matt Ingebretson, and Pat Bishop to make a brief teaser that really captures the zeitgeist of how people are very likely feeling all around the country.

It’s all the more reason to watch Corporate when it premieres on Wednesday, January 17th on Comedy Central.

Riki Lindhome and Natasha Leggero’s Another Period is returning for its third season next month to emphatically show that America is still making the mistakes that it did nearly 100 years in the past in the package of a highly enjoyable, over-the-top, 30 min period piece sitcom. 

See for yourself in this trailer.

The President Show’s Holiday Special Airs Tonight

“It’s “I Came Up With Christmas” Morning! The @PresidentShow Xmas special is TONIGHT!!! 10pm with so many surprise guests, old friends and the fat man himself @realDonaldTrump On @ComedyCentral”

-@tonyatamanuik

You should watch it as The President Show is one of the best satirical things comedy has going and it’s slightly less insane than what the real Trump is up to.

Jake Weisman, Pat Bishop, and Matt Ingebretson Dark Workplace Comedy “Corporate” Will Finally Premiere in January 2018

Our excitement for this show has sustained for several months now as Pat Bishop, Matt Ingebretson, and Jake Weisman’s slick, yet dark sense of humor is right up our alley.

Just look at Weisman obsession with taking pictures with knives, even when he’s announcing the premiere date of his show.

In any case, mark down Wednesday, January 17th, 2018 as the series premiere date for Corporate.

Also, here’s a brief teaser if you need a bit of a taste of what’s to come.

As other pressing issues are currently dominating the news, you might have, just for a moment, forgotten the issues of immigration to the U.S. and the wall that Trump was to build between here and Mexico.

To shine a line and humanize the issue and the people who are at risk because of DACA being in jeopardy, ICE raids, etc., Roastmaster General Jeff Ross is doing another one of his roast specials that heads to the bordertown of Brownsville, TX.

If you’re curious to see what Jeff do and how exactly he’ll be roasting whomever he roasts, you can catch Jeff Ross Roasts The Border tonight on Comedy Central at 10PM.

So, if this is a “fake news” TV special, it stands to reason that it would be the “opposition” to The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, right? 

In any case, Ed Helms back in Daily Show mode will be a welcome sight to see on The Fake News with Ted Nelms on Wednesday, December 13th at 10PM on Comedy Central. 

Potentially, this might be the most important holiday TV special this year?

Hopefully, you’ve seen Joel Kim Booster kill it on Conan or with his Comedy Central half-hour stand-up special so you’d know that his full hour on his new album Model Minority is well worth your time.

Booster gets to really let his sharp, rapscallion humor shine on this album. That adds some extra sheen on the deeper dive into his personal story of being an adopted Korean baby to a religious Midwestern family that was a gay man waiting to be a comedian that people ought to really know.

You can now get Joel Kim Booster’s Model Minority off of iTunes here.

  • The Daily Show’s The Yearly Show 2017 Hour-Long Year-End Special Hosted by Trevor Noah featuring The Best F#@king News Team premieres Monday, December 18 at 11PM.

Because one of Drunk History’s most beloved episodes focused on Christmas and The President Show handled Halloween pretty well (in addition to the whole show being one of the best comedic takes on Trump, end of discussion), we’re actually looking forward to these specials.

Waking up from a coma can be so jarring, especially if you’ve been under for an extended period of time.

Nick Turner takes this idea repeatedly to the nth degree by imagining the worst outcome of waking up from an aforementioned coma in the Comedy Central digital series, Ya Killin’ Me. Thankfully, it’s done a darkly humorous way for all our enjoyment this Halloween season (or anytime really if you happen to love dark comedy like we do).

So, without further adieu, please watch and enjoy Ya Killin’ Me.
