Classic bits from the MNN show will be played on Fusion next week.

While the premiere of the brand new Chris Gethard Show at Fusion isn’t until May, Fusion is going to start to air recut portions of episodes that put The Chris Gethard Show on the map in the first place.

Such things include Night of Zero Laughs and We Will Predict Your Future.

See what you potentially have been missing in one of the best public access shows of all time starting Thurs. Apr. 23rd at 8:30PM.

Chris Gethard Wants to Really Go All Out at Fusion and Says That “The Chris Gethard Show” Will Probably Debut in May

In his latest communiqué, Chris Gethard has said that we will all have to look to May for the cable network TV premiere of The Chris Gethard Show.

On top of that, he has some ideas of what he wants to do with having a budget and the backing of a network behind them.

Chris made a list that includes these things and way more we hope all happens within the ten episodes that they have ordered:

– I want to have the entire audience serve as my personal trainer.
– I want our audience to raise an animal together.
– Currently having an object buried somewhere in North America. It is a very valuable object. The show – both the televised version and all of our online output (including this) have a series of clues that can lead you to the object. Whoever gets the object will realize that it is not just monetarily valuable, but will give them a role in our show they’ve never dreamed of. I will never mention this again.
– I’m currently doing a lot of research and surveillance on a lonely teen who lives in either Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Indiana. I list all three so you and s/he won’t know it’s them. I am learning everything about him/her and plan on giving them a triumphant moment during the ten-week run of our show. They will have no idea it is happening until it is happening.
– There are a lot of terrestrial radio frequencies in remote parts of America that do not broadcast. On one of them there is currently a looped ten minute message being sent out via pirating devices. The ten minute message gives you explicit instructions on ways you can win a trip to New York City to attend our show live. It is on you to find the location and frequency of the broadcast. I can tell you that it is within a three hour drive of a city with a population of over 150,000.

If Chris pulls all of this off, this would be literal groundbreaking television.

Welcome “The Special without Brett Davis”, The Replacement of “The Chris Gethard Show”

As Chris Gethard and The Chris Gethard Show are headed to actual cable TV thanks to the good folks over at Fusion, there was a vacant slot for late Wednesday nights at what’s now probably one of the most famous public access networks, MNN.

Not one to let the slot fade away, Gethard has handed the keys to Brett Davis and his “The Special without Brett Davis”. Just having watched the first episode with guests Jake Fogelnest and Joe Pera, we think you are all going to be happy with Davis and company as TCGS’ replacement. They definitely keep the funny and the bizarre of this time slot going and we can’t wait to see what they’re going to pull off in the months to come. 

We’re not going to reveal anything else, so just go watch it already.

If you want to attend a taping (if you live anywhere in NYC, we highly recommend it), e-mail thespecialwithout@gmail.com.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Will Be Executive Producing “The Chris Gethard Show” at Fusion and Fusion Gets Broadcast Rights to Some Old TCGS Episodes

Despite how the last Will Ferrell-produced-Chris Gethard-starring show Big Lake went (cancelled after one season), Ferrell along with Zach Galifianakis will be executive producers on The Chris Gethard Show that’s coming to Fusion. 

We do hope that means the wondrous chaos that is TCGS will get to reign on the half hour slot that Fusion has given them.

On top of 10 episodes that will air this year, perhaps starting in April, Fusion has picked up the rights to air 20 episodes from The Chris Gethard Show at MNN. We’d really be surprise if that doesn’t become some sort of marathon leading up to the show’s premiere.

The Chris Gethard Show Will Go On

A month ago, Chris Gethard announced he was taking a mini hiatus from The Chris Gethard Show to think about the future of the show including the possibility of bringing it to a close for good.

Well, we’re happy to tell you that The Chris Gethard Show taped an episode last night and is indeed back. Gethard tried to send this open letter, but ultimately had to post it on the show’s Tumblr because he was trying to send it to too many people at once,

TCGS will continue on, but Chris plans on it being a stripped down, simpler version, though just as much fun. You can catch up on all of the show and subcribe here, by the way.

So, if you were crossing your fingers and holding your breath this whole time, you can ease up from hopefully turning purple and cramping your fingers.

The Chris Gethard Show May Be Coming to an End on Sept. 24th

One of the best public access shows ever may be reaching its swan song soon. The Chris Gethard Show has been trying to evolve itself in order to keep the spirit that has driven its current acclaim and cult following. 

So, Gethard will be taking votes via calls on this week’s episode this Wed. to see if the people want the show to keep going. After that, the show will go on a hiatus for a few weeks, then return on Sept. 24th or not. 

No matter what happens, Gethard will be doing something in the latter part of Sept. that we should all be watching.
