Chris Gethard’s latest comedy experiment, Chris Gethard Presents, which is essentially a showcase that allows Gethard’s handpicked favorites to also experiment as they see fit, back at public access at MNN (where The Chris Gethard Show’s roots are) officially kicks off tonight.

While it is airing on Manhattan Neighborhood Network, you can stream it live here at 8PM PST/11PM EST, then watch it archived on YouTube here.

The very first episode will be brought to you by the mind and comedic stylings of Carmen Christopher, a wonderful weirdo out of NYC that has a whole host of characters in addition to doing stand-up all over, as The Great Night Show with Carmen Christopher.

Watch it live or watch it later (just watch it somehow) because we have a good feeling about what Chris is cooking up here.

Chris Gethard Is Returning to Public Access TV for Chris Gethard Presents

If there’s one thing you can expect from Chris Gethard, it’s truly to expect the unexpected. From The Chris Gethard Show to Beautiful Anonymous and everything in between, Gethard’s career in and around comedy has been quite the amazing winding road that no one, except maybe for Chris, can see what’s up ahead.

So, another such move comes with Gethard returning to his public access TV roots at Manhattan Neighborhood Network, though not to revive TCGS. Gethard will be, instead, having a platform to showcase his favorite performers every week (in similar fashion to him handing the TCGS slot to The Special Without Brett Davis) simply called Chris Gethard Presents.

Chris can fill you in on the details here.

As we hinted at above, it’s both a surprising and a not-so-surprising move that is altogether still very intriguing given Chris’ track record for doing what’s daring. Certainly, public access allows for more of that than linear TV.

Chris Gethard Presents will premiere Wednesdays at MNN HD starting Jun. 26th at 11PM EST, which will be conveniently 8PM PST over in LA. You can stream it for FREE here.

We’re pretty sure that any other comedy election day special isn’t going to be 12 hours long.

That being said, thank goodness that Chris Gethard, the TCGS crew, and comedians Conner O’Malley, Tim Dillon, Jo Firestone, Shannon O’Neill, Maeve Higgins, Langan Kingsley, Brett Davis, Connor Ratliff, Lorelei Ramirez, Ana Fabrega, Kenny DeForest, Jackie Jennings, Murf Meyer, JD Amato, Will Miles, and much more will be giving the lovely alternative to whatever nail-bite inducing coverage is happening elsewhere.

From noon to midnight EST on November 8th, The Manhattan Neighborhood Network Election Special will air at MNN and MNN.org.

Welcome “The Special without Brett Davis”, The Replacement of “The Chris Gethard Show”

As Chris Gethard and The Chris Gethard Show are headed to actual cable TV thanks to the good folks over at Fusion, there was a vacant slot for late Wednesday nights at what’s now probably one of the most famous public access networks, MNN.

Not one to let the slot fade away, Gethard has handed the keys to Brett Davis and his “The Special without Brett Davis”. Just having watched the first episode with guests Jake Fogelnest and Joe Pera, we think you are all going to be happy with Davis and company as TCGS’ replacement. They definitely keep the funny and the bizarre of this time slot going and we can’t wait to see what they’re going to pull off in the months to come.

We’re not going to reveal anything else, so just go watch it already.
