10PM on TruTV.
Jon Glaser Loves Gear, the meta-reality, “gear” review/dark comedy from Jon Glaser finally gets unveiled to the world tonight and you really should tune in.
From what we’ve seen, it might be Jon Glaser at the peak of his comedic powers.
Again, 10PM, tonight, on TruTV.
While so much of this election is unbelievable, Adam Conover and the good folks at Adam Ruins Everything are going to show that there is precedence for the craziness of this year, effectively “ruining” whatever you were misconceptions you were having about politics being the way it is now.
The Adam Ruins Everything Election Special premieres tonight at 10PM on TruTV.
Jon Glaser Loves Gear is set to premiere next week on Wednesday, October 26th on TruTV. Leading up to now, the show has been shrouded in a bit of mystery, especially, for how layered it is.
Jon Glaser plays himself doing a show that reviews “gear” of all shapes and sizes and categories (bikes, tactical armor, socks, GoPro cameras, etc.). That’s one level of the show. Then, Jon also has to deal with the underlying universe in which the show operates. That includes a tense relationship with his wife, having an actress play his wife on his gear review show, having a somewhat sentient smart phone voiced by John Hodgman, etc. This kind of silly chaos is Glaser’s forte.
As all of these preview clips show, Glaser pulls this very meta premise off with flying colors and we think you should make a note now to watch the premiere Jon Glaser Loves Gear next week on October 26th.
Also, the theme song is extremely catchy and will undoubtedly get stuck in your head (in a good way).
The one and only Cheri Oteri has stepped in as principal by the way.
Catch the season 2 premiere of Those Who Can’t on TruTV at 10:30PM to see the unapologetic antics of Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy, and Andrew Orvedahl fill the halls of Reed Smoot High.
Seriously, there’s no debates on and even if there was a debate on that late, you could stream the debate on a second screen.
Did you have a better summer than Shoemaker, Fairbell, and Payton from Those Who Can’t?
See for yourself as they reminisce what they did for the last few months before they go in for a mandatory meeting.
Oh, by the way, season 2 of Those Who Can’t premieres on Thursday, October 6th 10:30PM.
Jon Glaser Loves Gear looks to be the multi-layered absurdist show that might spiritually follow up where Review with Forrest MacNeil left off as Jon Glaser reviews gear, but also struggles with personal issues that seep into reviewing gear and vice versa.
See for yourself in the first full trailer here, then look for the series premiere on Wednesday, October 26th at 10PM on TruTV.
After four seasons, some New Yorkers know that one Billy Eichner might be on the prowl with his subjective pop culture trivia games.
So, with season 5 coming soon, there are people who are as ready to have a surprise mic stuck in their face as Billy is ready to yell at strangers. Also, anyone from Jon Hamm to Aziz Ansari to Lupita Nyong’o are guests this time around.
Watch the trailer for season 5 here, then look for the premiere on Tuesday, November 15th on TruTV.
Jon Glaser has somehow managed to balance being grounded and also being absolutely absurd in a lot of his comedy, which is part and parcel of why things like Delocated are so beloved.
His new show, Jon Glaser Loves Gear, plays up this low key silliness in the best way possible.
See for yourself in these promos.
Then, absolutely tune in to the premiere of Jon Glaser Loves Gear on Wednesday, October 26th at 10PM on TruTV.
Do you even remember that TruTV used to deal in reality TV exclusively? Given how well their rebrand has gone, we’re guessing probably not.
TruTV’s progress as a comedy channel seemingly continues to go well as they have ordered a new sitcom from Andrea Savage (Episodes, Hotwives) that follows her actual life. It’s called I’m Sorry and slated for a 2017 premiere and has the likes of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, as well as Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer all as EPs in addition to Savage.
With Better Things, looks like female led sitcoms on cable based on the lives of real comedic actresses might become a trend.
It’s about time Jon Glaser was back on television.
Jon Glaser, of Delocated and Neon Joe Werewolf Hunter fame, has his latest show, Jon Glaser Loves Gear, coming next month on TruTV. True to Glaser’s brand of comedy, it’ll be a show that follows reviews of “gear” that goes on a deep and dark, personal tangent. The likes of John Hodgman, Janeane Garofalo, Jo Firestone, and Peter Grosz will be going on this journey with Jon.
A special sneak preview will air at 11PM on Tuesday, October 25th, then the actual premiere will be on Wednesday, October 26th at 10PM, all on TruTV.
In just their first season, Those Who Can’t proved to be another pillar on TruTV’s programming line-up.
With the trailer for season 2, it looks they’ll be continuing to legitimize TruTV’s standing as a comedy cable network with a little help from the one and only Cheri Oteri playing a new principal.
Look for the season premiere of Those Who Can’t on Thursday, October 6th at 10:30PM on TruTV.
The first run of Adam Ruins Everything has barely scratched the surface of what we take for granted in our daily lives and then brutally and cleverly picking apart those pre-conceived notions. Host Adam Conover has even ruined death and we have a feeling he’s just getting started.
For instance, reality shows have yet to get dissected by Adam Ruins Everything… until now.
By the way, brand new episodes of Adam Ruins Everything start up tonight at 10PM on TruTV.
It looks like Bobcat Goldthwait will finally bring his filmic vision (a la World’s Greatest Dad, Windy City Heat, Sleeping Dogs Lie, God Bless America), which he has been celebrated for, on to the small screen.
TruTV’s latest series order is quite the doozy as they’re giving Bobcat Goldthwait, who had been serving as a director on Those Who Can’t on TruTV, his own show that allows Bobcat to tell an anthology of different stories in different genres, all at his own whim.
Whether it be “1970s-era science fiction, psychological thriller, romantic comedy and reality”, Goldthwait will get to put his lens on it, which is reliably dark, unapologetic, and always hysterical.
If you’ve seen Bobcat’s work as an auteur, you’d know this is a big deal.
Love him or hate him (an order for more episodes suggests the former), Adam Conover is really good at being a informative killjoy.
From the looks of the new trailer of Adam Ruins Everything, Conover has a whole new array of things that we take for granted that he’ll meticulously pick apart with jokes and very slick production.
Look for the new episodes of Adam Ruins Everything on Tuesday, August 23rd at 10PM on TruTV.

Adam Ruins Everything doesn’t return until this Summer.
However, host Adam Conover made sure some things would be ruined in his absence and gave us the truth behind what drives Mother’s Day as a big annual holiday.
It might not surprise you that your favorite alums from the legendary comedy institution known as The Groundlings was probably taught by another Groundlings alum who you also love.
However, seeing how their alumni tree exactly branches out between Cheri Oteri, Phil Hartman, Lisa Kudrow, etc. is kind of amazing as you can see in this clip.
TruTV’s truInside delves even deeper into the long, long storied of The Groundlings tonight at 10PM.
The Best of Craigslist actually got included in Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack on TruTV.
For their latest reenactment of an insane real ad, they showed a dad who hatches an awful plan to relocate the family dog in order to not upset his daughters.
Let this be a cautionary tale as well as an enjoyable sketch on how to properly parent.
In Comedy Knockout, which will likely be TruTV’s more rough and tumble, roast-y version of @midnight, three comedians will come up with best burns for both various challenges and each other. Host Damien Lemon manages the chaos that ensues.
The competitive comedy series premieres tomorrow night at 10PM on TruTV, but you can see it in action with Sean Patton, Chris DiStefano, and Arden Myrin in the hot seats in these previews.
Want to see the likes of Dave Hill, Jamie Lee, Arden Myrin, Nick Turner, Leonard Ouzts, Sarah Tiana, Kurt Metzger, Martin Monroe, Jim Norton, Jordan Carlos, and more duke it out by talking trash to each other in front of a live audience?
Well, TruTV’s latest series might just be your thing. Comedy Knockout hosted by Damien Lemon features all of the above as well as dastardly punishment for the comics that get knocked out.
See it all for yourself in the trailer.
Look for the series preimere on Thursday, April 21st at 10:30pm on TruTV.
One of the many series that are being featured in Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack over at TruTV is one we’ve dug for awhile: Cocktales with Little Esther.
Little Esther and a comedian guest go into a sex-positive discussion that’s more adorable than it’s “blue”.
Watch the latest episode here and be surprised about what guest Alison Becker is into sexually.
If you’ve been missing Adam Ruins Everything on TruTV, you can look forward to new episodes in August and you can watch Conover’s latest takedown of generational stereotypes and thinking, specifically in regards to millennials over and over until then.
No matter what generation you’ve been forced into, this is pretty great and informative.
Unquestionably one of the best films of the 90s, Election closed out the decade with a breakout performance from Reese Witherspoon and a great directorial showing from Alexander Payne.
TruTV’s truInside will explore the behind-the-scenes story of how improbably Election was to make despite being looked back as a brilliant satirical comedy that will probably hold up for decades to come.
Here’s a preview before tonight’s episode that airs at 10PM on TruTV.
Short.
Funny.
Both meanings. @TheRealDratch’s LATE NIGHT SNACK premieres Thursday at 11/10C.https://t.co/1PHTJoTXtf
The Internet is a vast place. Even when it comes to something as specific as short form comedy content, it’s an ocean full of stuff that’s hard to sort through.
So, Rachel Dratch has made it a little easer with Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack that compiles select short form comedy content including Lost Moon Radio, Austin Martinez, Cocktales with Little Esther, and more.
See what you might have missed or weren’t aware of at all when Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack premieres tonight at 11PM on TruTV.
