The debate of whether cats or dogs are the best furry companion to have in life will be a never ending debate that largely depends on your personality. Still, hearing NYC very best comedians debate the topic ought to be great fun (though it does feel like there’s a slight majority of cat people amongst comedians).

Uptown Showdown at Symphony Space is indeed inviting the much heralded comedic minds of Jo Firestone, Peter Grosz, Alison Leiby, Monroe Martin III, Jaye McBride, and Kenice Mobley to fiercely debate this very divide between the top of the domesticated animal pyramid with Matthew Love hosting. That’s quite the line-up that would take an argument that would probably be pretty entertaining to an entirely other level that you will make it worth the trip to the Upper West Side.

This edition of Uptown Showdown is set for Tues. Oct. 11th at 7PM ET/4PM ET and will be available for livestream as well. Tickets are going for $16 and you really ought to go get them here right now.

Craig Ferguson is damn good at talking to people on TV and we’re glad that he’s getting to do it without the impetus of guests promoting things.

In an interesting turn for the History Channel, they’re going to have a panel debate show hosted by a comedian, Craig Ferguson, on Join or Die. Famous folks and historical experts will mix it up and debate various best/worst queries throughout history.

16 episodes have been ordered and we can’t help but think that comedian history buffs Conan O’Brien and Nick Offerman will want to be guests.
