Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero just got married and as recently wed comedians, they opted to make their honeymoon into a comedy tour, aptly called The Honeymoon Tour, and give relationship advice to various audience members that they were willing to talk out their problems on stage. 

The advice they gave was captured by Comedy Central and put into this really great web series that captured much of the best advice they dished out, the lovely vistas they had, and even some comically, overly gratuitous PDA. 

They even had America’s Funnyman Neil Hamburger renew their vows. Please watch and enjoy all eight episodes here.

Doug Benson deciding on court cases was probably as much as had to be pitched for this to get sold, right?

In the beginning of next year, The High Court will be a 15 minute “strip series” on Comedy Central where one Doug Benson will preside over real small claims court cases and, of course, get high to decide on which side wins.

We’re sure along with his decision, there will be plenty of Benson Interruption style banter during all the trials.

Midnight on Comedy Central.

The latest hour of stand-up to come from the one of the best comedians of our time, Kyle Kinane, is having its world premiere tonight. So, wherever you are, we’d hope that you tune in because Kinane’s stand-up is probably better than whatever else you have going on.

8 episodes are set to air in 2017.

From a monthly show at a black box theater to a TV special Josh Adam Meyers and The Comedy Jam Band have reached new heights by getting a series order from Comedy Central.

They had to drop the “Goddamn” from the name, but that shouldn’t hold back from how much of a raucous party that Meyers and company will throw. If getting Coolio to join Pete Davidson on stage for Gangsta’s Paradise was just the start, imagine what they’ll do next.

It’s a wonderful time of a year anytime that a new hour of stand-up comedy from Kyle Kinane is set to come out. Fortunately, his latest special, Loose in Chicago, is set for its premiere this Saturday at midnight on Comedy Central.

There is still the majority of the week to get through before then, so here are three whole preview clips, one video and two audio (via The Laugh Button) that will see you through until Saturday night.

‘@midnight with Chris Hardwick’ Renewed Through 2017

For now, @midnight will also stay at 11:30PM.

The show that Chris Hardwick hosts the most will now continue for another 40 weeks in a season 4 cycle going through 2017. 

What we’re excited to see come out of this is the potential for more experimentation a la that week where Anthony Atamanuik as Donald Trump “sponsored” the show.

Comedy Central is leaving it open as to whether they’ll go back to airing at midnight or 11:30PM. In either case, as this year has shown, the show should be fine.

Final Season of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail Premieres Tonight

It’s really happening. The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail is coming towards singing its swan song. The live weekly show ends next month and the third and final TV version of the show kicks off tonight on Comedy Central.

For our money, it’s one of the few comedy shows that didn’t really get lost in translation when going from live show to TV series. You got a sense of the rollicking, magical fun that the Jonah Ray, Kumail Nanjiani, The Meltdown crew, comedians, and audience had every week for over half a decade. 

You can feel it in Jonah making fun of Kumail’s shirt at the top of the show.

So, with that said, don’t miss the season 3 premiere at midnight tonight.

In case you need an immediate palate cleanser, just wait an hour (give or take a few or more extra hours depending on what side of the country you live on).

In order to get the very first jokes on TV about the first 2016 presidential debate, three late night programs will be going live after the debates. 

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 11:35PM on CBS
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah 11PM on Comedy Central
Late Night with Seth Meyers 11:35PM on NBC

For the East Coast, these will actually be live as opposed to West Coast delay, so if you have access to an the EST feed of CBS, Comedy Central and NBC, try and watch it at 8PM PDT.

Also, keep in mind that Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is airing on Wednesday this week in order to fully soak in the debate for their episode. #CUNW
