Steve Harvey may have dealt with an out of control Family Feud, but Superego has one to top that with guest Patton Oswalt. One father calls himself fear and the other one wants to just talk about feminine hygiene and so much more unravels.

Patton Oswalt Drives Around, Sort Of, With Jerry Seinfeld in a DeLorean

Patton Oswalt’s latest comedy special Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time is coming to Epix on Jan. 17th.

Patton Oswalt to Host Spirit Awards
The Independent Spirit Awards has had quite the decidedly more bold (and often times more fun) choices for host over the years.

Watch Patton Oswalt’s TED Talk here.
Patton Oswalt stopped by Conan last night in promotion of the second season of The Heart, She Holler on Adult Swim, which took more than a little explaining to do just to set up a clip, and, even then, is just best summarized in Oswalt’s warning before tuning in.
Watch the clip here and definitely watch The Heart, She Holler no matter how weird it is because it’s pretty funny once you realize fluids won’t come out of your TV while watching.
The live action Southern gothic horror comedy series The Heart, She Holler starring Patton Oswalt on Adult Swim is coming back for another season chock full of blood, guts, yelling, buck teeth, plenty of great comedy cameos like David Cross and more bizarrely tinged dark humor.
