Talk Show the Game Show is bringing talk show games to a whole other level as evidenced by these clips of Maria Bamford having to use her voice talents to bring pictures of realtors to life and James Adomian going head-to-head with Guy Branum in an arm wrestling match (with a spectacular finish we might add).

Also, unlike the majority of other talk show and late night games, the points and winners do matter and have a whole set of judges that keep them accountable to being the most entertaining guest throughout the evening. Again, we hope this revolutionizes playing games with celebrities on television going forward.

By the way, there’s a new episode of Talk Show the Game Show with Guy Branum tonight on TruTV at 10PM.

Many of you don’t even know the greatness that’s about to come with Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show being made into a TV show, but, hopefully, you’ll know soon enough thanks to TruTV.

Today, via press release, TruTV announced its upcoming slate of programming and development that happened to have plenty of things that have us excited for the network in 2017.

With a Trump Administration looming, Adam Conover and his ‘bigly’ tendency to ruin things will be very nice to have for a sixteen episode second season of Adam Ruins Everything.

Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show is a competitive talk show where guests have to compete to be the best, most interesting guest dealing with the sharp wit of host Guy Branum. It’s a gem here in LA that we’ve enjoyed for years and we can’t wait for the rest of the country to see what happens when guests can just rely on the story of their weird ride to the airport to get through a late night segment.

Sketch duo Austin Martinez got to incubate on Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack on TruTV and will now get upgraded to developing a series of their own. An animated family marijuana dispensary comedy from Martin Starr and Matt Bush is also in development.

In addition to that upcoming Bobcat Goldthwait anthology series, TruTV could have a pretty great 2017.
