Watch Maria Bamford Make Up Voices for Realtors and James Adomian Arm Wrestle Guy Branum on Talk Show the Game Show

guy branum, james adomian, maria bamford, talk show the game show, trutv

Talk Show the Game Show is bringing talk show games to a whole other level as evidenced by these clips of Maria Bamford having to use her voice talents to bring pictures of realtors to life and James Adomian going head-to-head with Guy Branum in an arm wrestling match (with a spectacular finish we might add).

Also, unlike the majority of other talk show and late night games, the points and winners do matter and have a whole set of judges that keep them accountable to being the most entertaining guest throughout the evening. Again, we hope this revolutionizes playing games with celebrities on television going forward.

By the way, there’s a new episode of Talk Show the Game Show with Guy Branum tonight on TruTV at 10PM.

Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show Has Its World Premiere Tonight

The competitive talk show, Talk Show the Game Show, from the brilliant mind of Guy Branum, officially goes from live show to full fledged TV series tonight at 10PM on TruTV.

We highly recommend you watch it and see talk show guests be whipped into shape when every single detail of their appearances gets judged on a thorough point system. Hopefully, you’ll want all talk show appearances to be conducted like this after watching it.

See How Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show Works in This Preview

The talk show, nay, the televised interview might just get revolutionized as being a dull guest does not cut it at Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show.

We’ve loved Guy’s show for years and we can now really show how the competitive talk show works and why we’re thrilled it’s getting a shot on television.

See for yourself with this preview and look for the series premiere on TruTV next week on Wednesday, April 5th at 10PM.

The final rounds of Roast Battle II are just around the corner.

Leading up to that is some top shelf roasting from around the country. In LA, Jamar Neighbors and Guy Branum, two comics that definitely know how to dish out verbal cruelty, faced off in a regional round, though seemed like a final round to us.

Many of you don’t even know the greatness that’s about to come with Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show being made into a TV show, but, hopefully, you’ll know soon enough thanks to TruTV.

Today, via press release, TruTV announced its upcoming slate of programming and development that happened to have plenty of things that have us excited for the network in 2017.

With a Trump Administration looming, Adam Conover and his ‘bigly’ tendency to ruin things will be very nice to have for a sixteen episode second season of Adam Ruins Everything.

Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show is a competitive talk show where guests have to compete to be the best, most interesting guest dealing with the sharp wit of host Guy Branum. It’s a gem here in LA that we’ve enjoyed for years and we can’t wait for the rest of the country to see what happens when guests can just rely on the story of their weird ride to the airport to get through a late night segment.

Sketch duo Austin Martinez got to incubate on Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack on TruTV and will now get upgraded to developing a series of their own. An animated family marijuana dispensary comedy from Martin Starr and Matt Bush is also in development.

In addition to that upcoming Bobcat Goldthwait anthology series, TruTV could have a pretty great 2017.

It’s about time this happened.

One of the many new, exciting things that are happening at NBC’s comedy streaming service, Seeso, is a thing called The Comedy Show Show, which will feature plenty of different formats of comedy shows that have grown over the last few years.

Bryan Cook’s Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction is a prime example of such a format with comedians writing erotic fiction of a pop culture subject of their choice or by random. Having toured the country and becoming a hit podcast, it’s only logical that it would get to be featured in a series at some point.

So, a taping for Seeso’s Comedy Show Show will take place at the Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction’s current home, The Virgil, on Sunday, April 17th at 8PM (doors are at 7:30PM).

The stellar line-up features past winners including such notable comedians as:

Moshe Kasher (Netflix special “Live in Oakland”)
Eliza Skinner (@Midnight, writer ‘The Late Late Show’)
Ben Roy (Star/Co-creator ‘Those Who Can’t’ on TruTv)
Dave Hill (Author, ‘Tasteful Nudes,’ Host ‘The God Damn Dave Hill Show’ on WFMU)
Ian Karmel (Conan, writer ‘The Late Late Show’)
Guy Branum (writer, ‘Another Period,’ ‘The Mindy Project’)
Andrés du Bouchet (Writer/performer on Conan)
Jackie Kashian (Conan, album ‘This Will Make An Excellent Horcrux’)
Solomon Georgio (Conan, Viceland)

The taping is free to attend, which should give you more incentive than you already have to go to this.
