If you’re up, wait a few more hours and watch Mash-Up at 3:30AM on Comedy Central! This poster should say enough as to why, but if it doesn’t, the Comedy Bureau firmly believes this is part of the next wave in stand up comedy.

If you’re wondering why it’s on so early, I’m not quite exactly sure. I do know, however that Workaholics, which seems like a frat version of The Office, the other new Comedy Central show that has been “previewed” at better time slots and pushed a whole lot more through Comedy Central social networking extensions.

Not an explanation, just an observation.
