Leave it to a show on a niche cable network having celebrities, many who are comedians, to fight for climate change awareness.

Years of Living Dangerously, a show covering the reality of climate change, on the National Geographic Channel just got picked up for a second season and is really going for it in terms of their guests this time around.

So far, they’ve got David Letterman, Ty Burrell, Jack Black, Cecily Strong, Don Cheadle, Olivia Munn, Ian Somerhalder, James Cameron, and Arnold Schwarzenegger on board for the show in some aspect or another.

Letterman will specifically be interviewing the Prime Minister of India.

Hopefully, this show will present climate change in an entertaining way that isn’t just laughing at certain presidential candidates that seem like they’re spouting off nonsense.

If you loved Going Deep with David Rees on NatGeo last year, you’ll be thrilled to hear that The National Geographic Channel is only headed more in that direction for 2015.

Case in point, John Atschuler and Dave Krinsky, who have been involved in producing and/or creating Silicon Valley, King of The Hill, and more are now going to make a comedic world history series for NatGeo. Puppets, sketches, etc. are to be employed in this show, which we’re already excited for.

We are now wondering if they’ll have a segment where they will compare actual time period to ones fictionalized for comedic effect by Mel Brooks’ History of The World Part 1.

If watching all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 that you possibly can on Vimeo isn’t enough movie riffing fun for you, then you’ll be happy to know that many of the MST3K guys, now the stars of RiffTrax, have redone their entire website to make it easy to find, get, and enjoy their riffs to your favorite bad movies.

The National Geographic Channel is also having RiffTrax back this December after a successful run on April Fool’s Day, riffing, as they do, over animal footage.

That should be enough to satisfy your movie riffing fix.
