Comedy Central’s The Comedy Jam (previously known as The Goddamn Comedy Jam) really went for the moon in having comedy folks jam out to a song that means a lot to them.
DMX, Scott Stapp, and more join Bert Kreischer, Jay Pharoah, Tiffany Haddish, and more for this show. See for yourself in this trailer.
Then, look for the series premiere next week on March 22nd on Comedy Central.
Seeso Renews ‘Hidden America’, ‘Cyanide & Happiness’, ‘What’s Your F@%king Deal?!’
A faux travel series hosted by Jonah Ray, an animated dark comedy based on a popular web comic, and a crowd work showcase hosted by Big Jay Oakerson all get renewed at Seeso today. It looks the NBC comedy exclusive streaming service has been taking chances that perhaps that NBC wouldn’t take for their own broadcast network comedy programming and it’s working out.
We hope it keeps going that way.
No material and all crowd work was the order for the evenings of Big Jay Oakerson’s new Seeso series What’s Your F@%king Deal?
Given who they got for the show, it seems like a real good time. Also, note that you don’t have to worry about being talked to as this has already been recorded.
Just check the show’s massive line-up:
Hannibal Buress
Colin Quinn
Gilbert Gottfried
Joe DeRosa
Jessica Kirson
Andy Kindler
Mark Normand
Wil Sylvince
James Adomian
Kurt Metzger
Bonnie McFarlane
Sean Patton
Dave Smith
Dan Soder
Mike Britt
Mike Vecchione
Luis J Gomez
Lynne Koplitz
Brody Stevens
Tone Bell
Ari Shaffir
Sherrod Small
Judy Gold
Rich Vos
Aaron Berg
Bert Kreischer
Yamaneika Saunders
Monroe Martin
Nate Bargatze
Jermaine Fowler
Ardie Fuqua
Then, get a taste of it in this trailer.
After all of that, you can go get Seeso, if you don’t already have it, and start streaming it.

Comedy Central really wants to get into the Big Jay Oakerson and Dan Soder business.
Starting tonight, Oakerson and Soder will host The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Dan Soder on Comedy Central’s Sirius XM channel. They’ll do live shows Mon. and Wed. from 3PM to 5PM PST. Like a true blue radio show, they’ll be taking callers as well, which should make for plenty of fun if you know Dan and Big Jay.
On top of that, each of them will get their own hour long Comedy Central special that will premiere some time in 2016.
We’d hope that you’d know Oakerson and Soder from their previous stand-up specials, albums, TV/radio appearances, etc. by now. If you don’t, Comedy Central wants to make sure you do by next year.
A Musical About Stand Up Comedy Will Feature Actual Stand Up Comedians
New York City will be the place where HA! The Musical, a musical about stand-up comedy, first takes the stage. While one might be skeptical of this, please note that comedians Christian Finnegan, Big Jay Oakerson, Shawn Pearlman, Casey Balsham, and more are already part of HA! The Musical.
The limited run of HA! starts in August and this cast definitely has us more than intrigued.
All working comedians have their hell gig stories and they’re usually all funny after the fact, but terrifying in their conception. Big Jay Oakerson’s story from performing in Atlantic City is definitely one to remember, especially because Kevin Hart will deny certain parts of it happening.
Watch as Big Jay tells it on The Pete Holmes Show.
Now with Parker Posey, Comedy Central Pilot ‘Crazy House’ Might Have The Best Cast This Pilot Season
Parker Posey joins Nick Turner, Whitmer Thomas, Johnny Pemberton, Demorge Brown, Erik Charles Nielsen, Kate Berlant, Eugene Mirman, Big Jay Oakerson, Lindsay Ames, and Joe Urla in making for one of the most intriguing casts this pilot season in Comedy Central’s Crazy House from Nick Turner and Lee Rubenstein.
Just on the notion that these people need to be on TV more, especially together, this should get a greenlight.
CC:Studios’ This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir is finally back and in this latest batch of episodes, they have fight stories, which brings Big Jay Oakerson to share the story of one of the biggest fights he’s ever seen.
By big, we do not mean a title fight or two rivals gangs fighting each other, but rather something more literal. Watch it here.
