Last night, The Webby Awards had their big ceremony honoring all of this year’s Webby Award recipients with the one and only Hannibal Buress presiding over the entire evening.
Watch his opening monologue that spans World Star to unlikely animal friends here.
The Deep Web deserves some love too, we guess?
Hannibal Buress is all set to host The Webby Awards next month on May 18th. Along with that gig, he also hosted The Deep Webby Awards “honoring” the best in whatever happens in the Deep Web that can’t happen anywhere else on the Internet.
Before taking on hosting his own show Why?, Hannibal Buress will host The Webby Awards, which he is just perfect for.
.Gifs and memes and links to a plethora of videos of Hannibal Buress are unavoidable. Stand-up, The Eric Andre Show, Broad City, NBA games, restaurant reviews, morning talk show appearances, being part of taking down a comedy legend, etc. have made Hannibal a welcome daily fixture on the Internet and thus another perfect choice to host The Webby Awards following Patton Oswalt.
So, mark your calendars for May 18th when this all goes down.
So, if we’re all lucky, Hannibal Buress will get to do things like this on his Comedy Central series Why?
While on his Comedy Camisado tour, Buress opted to stay a little bit longer in Austin, TX to not only appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live, but also see if he could drum poorly for some band during their SXSW set.
Luckily, Speedy Ortiz obliged Hannibal on their last song.
With Gibberish Rap and this drumming performance, Hannibal might accidentally have a musical career like Jennifer Lawrence with that Hunger Games song.

Unlike the time when Hannibal Buress really jumped the gun and announced that Comedy Central picked up his series on Twitter in an attempt to perhaps visualize his goals, Hannibal has really gotten an official series order where he basically gets to talk about and do what he wants.
Comedy Central has ordered 8 episodes of Why? which will feature Buress talking about the burning issues of the day, the ones he cares about anyway, and feature pre-taped segments, man-on-the-street bits, etc.
It sounds a little bit like Chapelle’s Show, but with Hannibal leading the way, we have no problem with that whatsoever and look forward to the premiere.

The second round of The Wild West Comedy Festival is coming back to Nashville, TN from Apr. 14th-19th.
So far, they have the likes of Lewis Black, Joel McHale, Hannibal Buress, Eric Andre, Tig Notaro, Doug Benson, and more headlining the festival.
So, while you’re waiting until Bonnaroo in June to watch comedy in a giant tent, you definitely have the Wild West Comedy Festival, which is shaping up quite nicely, to look forward to if you in or around Tennessee.
This past week, Hannibal Buress who Eric Andre’s sidekick on The Eric Andre Show got to fill in as host for Eric. With Buress in the host’s chair, he got to weird out Nick Cannon, walk around the streets in a cookie suit as Cookie Muhammad, and had Lil’ Big Jon on as a musical guest.
Per usual, it’s a fun chaotic time on The Eric Andre Show.
Apparently, Eric Andre has suffered a debilitating injury and needs Hannibal Buress to take the reins for a week on The Eric Andre Show.
So, tonight catch The Hannibal Buress Show with this intro at 12:15AM on Adult Swim.

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are teaming up again in the Paramount comedy “Daddy’s Home” and have very smartly added Hannibal Buress to the cast.
Whether it be on Broad City or in Neighbors or in Kings of Summer, Hannibal has crushed his guest starring roles thus far. Naturally, we can’t wait to see what will be quoting non-stop from him after seeing in this movie.
Hannibal Buress just got in his second restaurant review following his torching of Lamb’s Creek with his thoughts on the popular country style restaurant chain, Cracker Barrel. Again, Hannibal’s recommendations edge out more traditional restaurant reviews because, well, it’s Hannibal Buress talking about restaurants where, in this case, happened to buy a keyboard.
Hannibal says he’s retiring from the restaurant review game, but we’d wager that this is hardly the end of him making goofy videos while on tour for Comedy Camisado TV.
While on his Comedy Comisado Tour, Hannibal Buress is trying to make the most of his spare time, which, in this case, happens to be videos for Comedy Comisado TV.
Hannibal started these tour videos off with the first in a long running series, hopefully, of restaurant reviews. Of course, the way Hannibal does restaurant reviews is the way you would hope Yelp works, but doesn’t.
Watch it here as he throws shade at Lamb’s Creek in Mansfield, PA.
We don’t need to ask if you need more Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer in your life because we know you do.
So, here’s is the brand new trailer for season 2 of Broad City that will get you giddy for Jan. 14th when the season premiere airs on Comedy Central.
Watch it over and over and over right now.
Hannibal Buress plus canvassing to get people to vote plus little kids dressed as adults equals a precious, funny, and effective campaign video to get you out to the polls on Nov. 4th for this upcoming midterm election.
Seriously, why wouldn’t you want to vote after watching this?
While on Conan last night, Hannibal Buress revealed the details, well, some details about a book deal that he got somewhat recently. Apparently, he needs a little inspiration to get the book off the ground.
Hopefully, whatever the book ends up being, the text message conversation between him and a past landlord ends up in it as well as the wonderfully accompanying pictures.
We’re betting it’s pretty intentional that Hannibal Buress, Matt Braunger, The Lucas Brothers, Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction, and more are coming to Cleveland from Sept. 26th-Oct. 13th.
Even if it is an accident, it will be a great one that you should attend. So, get your tickets for the Accidental Comedy Festival.
If you’ve been to any of the Oddball shows, you might have seen Hannibal Buress in a custom jump suit with his own face printed on it.
Not only did he wear during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, but Hannibal gave the origin story behind it. He also gave some insight into who he photobombs, his rejected SNL sketch, as well as learning to dunk in case he has to play in the NBA Celebrity Game next year.
Watch the whole interview here.
Didn’t get enough of Hannibal Buress this Summer on Funny or Die‘s Oddball in a jump suit that had his own face printed on it? Of course, you didn’t.
Well, luckily, he’s going from anywhere from Mountain View, CA to Albany, NY and plenty of places in between from Oct. 4th-Nov. 22nd for his Comedy Camisado Tour.
Please do check where he’s playing and get tickets here because who knows what Hannibal will do after he’s had ballet dancers with a live performance of Gibberish Rap, etc.
Over a year ago, Hannibal Buress debuted his single “Gibberish Rap” to the delight of many of us around the world. He even went on to perform it live at several places, often featuring ballet dancers.
Now, Gibberish Rap can be yours to play on repeat as long as you like thanks to Hannibal himself making it free to download on SoundCloud. Merry early Christmas to us all.
Remember when we told you about the very first Maui Comedy Festival that’s happening Halloween weekend with a line-up featuring any and all of your favorites from Reggie Watts to Kyle Kinane to Eddie Pepitone to Tig Notaro to Marc Maron to Hannibal Buress to so many more to even more?
Well, whether you do or don’t, the tickets for what should be one damn fine comedy festival are now on sale and you should snag that and some hotel reservations (unless you already luckily live on the island) ASAP.
Hannibal Buress has performed on The Late Show with David Letterman before, but he, until last night, had not actually chatted with Letterman on The Late Show.
As suggested, Buress got to sit down with David Letterman and, sans phone like he does on The Eric Andre Show, actually talked pelicans, kickboxing, etc.
The Approval Matrix, The TV Show, Will Premiere on SundanceTV in August
SundanceTV is going ahead with the TV adaptation of the popular magazine feature The Approval Matrix in New York Magazine. Hosted by Neal Brennan, pop culture will be broken down according to a matrix approving or disapproving of its existence or happening.
While sketches and interviews suggest a more traditional talk show format, it’s going to have panelists such as Hannibal Buress, Julie Klausner, Judah Friedlander, Kurt Metzger, Rob Delaney, and more.
The Approval Matrix premieres Aug. 11th.
Funny or Die’s Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival Announces Their 2014 Line-Up
Throughout the country, you may get to see the likes of Louis C.K., Aziz Ansari, Amy Schumer, Bill Burr, Jim Gaffigan, Sarah Silverman, Jeff Ross, Marc Maron, Chris Hardwick, Hannibal Buress, Demetri Martin, and more thanks to Funny or Die’s gigantic festival tour known as Oddball. Looking at that line-up, we’d say Oddball is gong to have another epic round.
So far there will be 21 shows across this great nation and tickets will go on sale this Saturday.
Open Mike Eagle’s “Doug Stamper” Co-Stars and Features Hannibal Buress
The music video for rapper Open Mike Eagle’s new song “Doug Stamper” off his new album Dark Comedy indeed has Hannibal Buress co-starring and rapping.
There’s a lot to digest and laugh at here such as credits, various blog backgrounds, “The Advice Show”, and more upon repeated viewings.
Scott Moran, the force behind Modern Comedian, has made a new web series where he captures 4 to 5 minutes of a comedian in front of a camera sans audio. They just inhabit the frame as they choose, much like you would see them in perhaps an animated portrait in a gallery exhibit at a museum.
So far, he’s gotten comedian screen tests of Hannibal Buress, Rory Scovel, Jim Gaffigan, Kristen Schaal, Nick Turner, Colin Quinn, Kurt Braunohler, Jared Logan, Shock G, and Chris Distefano.
If you can afford it, you definitely should have these all playing on separate screens in a gallery on a loop.
Just take a look at that flyer and the damn fine line-up of comedy and you’ll know that you’re going to Maui on Halloween weekend Oct. 30th-Nov. 2nd instead of figuring an ultra-clever costume to impress people for two hours.
More details about the very first Maui Comedy Festival can be found here.
