From the humblest of beginnings, The Chris Gethard Show has made it to its 3rd season as a full fledged TV show on cable television while circling back to its devil may care, public access roots by broadcasting completely live (w/10 second delay).

Hopefully, you’ll get a sense of the beautifully controlled chaos that Gethard wrangles for his show and definitely see way more risks be taken than what happens on SNL.  

Watch the season premiere of The Chris Gethard Show, as well as a bit of TV history, on Thursday, August 3rd at 8PM PST/11PM EST on TruTV.

One of the more exciting things, for us (and hopefully for you), coming to TBS soon is the new eponymous TV series from The Dress Up Gang.

If you’re a long time fan, this teaser for the TBS series is the newest bit of Dress Up Gang that has been dropped in quite some time. If you’re new to them, please enjoy this little morsel that captures what they do pretty well.

In either case, it’s pretty swell to see TBS is continuing to put money down on their off-kilter brand of comedy.

With the fate of the White House Correspondents Dinner undecided a few months back, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee announced that they’ll be doing their own special that evening that would assure the Trump Administration would get their due that night.

Coined as “Not The White House Correspondents Dinner”, you can see what Sam Bee and company have in store with this promo released this week.

As announced today, Hasan Minhaj will be hosting this year’s actual White House Correspondents Dinner. So, you can actually pick between a current and former Daily Show correspondent and their televised special event on Saturday, April 29th.

As Trump isn’t attending because he ostensibly doesn’t want his feelings hurt to his face, you have to wonder exactly how hard Sam and Hasan will go on Trump, Bannon, news outlets, etc..

This is Dave Chappelle’s most prominent TV appearance, especially given the weight of comedian hosts on Saturday Night Live, since, well, you know, Chappelle’s Show went off the air the way that it did.

Knowing that, here’s the promo that “makes it seem” like Dave will be there.

If you take into account people’s focus on SNL in this election year, the election results, Chappelle’s relative absence on TV, A Tribe Called Quest being the musical guest, it might be an important episode of SNL to watch.

Having your own face on a billboard, especially on the legendary Sunset Strip in WeHo, is quite the milestone for any entertainer.

That’s why Mo Mandel wanted to make a promo for his brand new stand-up special Negative Reinforcement, which started streaming on Seeso this week, showing off his visage on the heart of The Sunset Strip.

However, you should know that the ad for Mo’s special is on a digital billboard that rotates through a cycle of plenty of other ads. He still gave a shot at making a promo anyway.

Oh, also, you should go watch Negative Reinforcement on Seeso since Mo is pretty damn funny as shown in these clips of said special.

For the last few years, Donald Glover has been tinkering with a show mysteriously known as Atlanta. Any sort of previews, teaser, clips, etc. have been scarce and all anyone really knew about it was that it would be a dramedy set in Atlanta’s thriving rap scene.

Well, as the show now has its sights set on a September premiere on FX, the veil has been lifted a little with the very first promo has just been posted online.

The story of Atlanta will follow Donald Glover as one of two cousins making their way up through the aforementioned rap scene in Atlanta. The promo doesn’t really reveal much else, but definitely sets a tone not unlike FX’s Louie.
