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.
