If you think about it, if The Chris Gethard Show was to be handed off to someone in its entirety, it would be unofficial, unauthorized, and keep the name even though someone not named Chris Gethard would be hosting, right?

Well, that’s what happening at the Lyric Hyperion on Fri., Feb. 8th at 8PM with the very, very funny Robby Hoffman (former writer and featured performer on TCGS).

Chris Gethard’s official statement on this whole happening is as follows:

“I am not involved in this and don’t really understand why it’s happening or what it is, but I love Robby, so go for broke. Again, this show in no way reflects, represents, or is The Chris Gethard Show.” 

Whatever happens, we’re sure it’ll be some damn fun, controlled chaos (which is the true spirit of TCGS, isn’t it?). Go get tickets for the show for $8 here.

Looks like Justin Linville has joined the ranks of late night talk show host assistants being funny simply for being honest about their bosses (Conan O’Brien assistant Sona Movsesian also holds this rare distinction). 

See what grievances Justin read aloud to make his boss Chris Gethard a little anxious while Wanda Sykes and Shannon O’Neill watched with delight on this week’s TCGS here.

The Chris Gethard Show LIVE season 3 premiere, 11PM EST on TruTV (again, here’s a guide of how to watch it live wherever you are in the U.S.)
The Guest Book series premiere, 10PM TBS
What Would Diplo Do? series premiere, 10PM Viceland

Tonight, you have Gethard’s revered version of a talk show that defies pretty much any and all conventions, a single camera sitcom from Greg Garcia that focuses on the guests of one hotel, and a series sending-up EDM mogul Diplo, starring James Van Der Beek as Diplo.

Sounds like a pretty fun night to us if you decide to stay in.

Here’s How to Watch This Upcoming, Completely Live Season of The Chris Gethard Show

Here’s How to Watch This Upcoming, Completely Live Season of The Chris Gethard Show

To the best of their ability, The Chris Gethard Show crew wants to make sure as many people around the U.S. can tune into the completely and totally live broadcast of their third season on TruTV. Unlike SNL being on NBC, it’s a little trickier to have broadcast a show live on air on a cable network. 

So, they made this guide to cable and non-cable, East Coast, non-East Coast, and live audiences so you can catch the happy madness go down with the rest of the Gethard faithful. 

Basically, this is how it will work:

  • US East Coast viewers with a cable subscription that includes truTV can watch live as it airs.
  • US Non-East Coast viewers with a cable subscription that includes truTV can watch live on the website or through the app.
  • Non-cable subscribers can watch live through Sling TV, Hulu with Live TV, Direct Now and Playstation Vue.
  • Come to a taping! The show films in midtown Manhattan at 11PM on Thursdays. Ticket requests for each week will go live 8 days before the episode airs, and can be found here.

For international viewers that want to watch, they’re working on it.

Oh, most importantly, remember that this season 3 premiere will air live on Thursday, August 3rd 11PM EST/8PM PST.

The Chris Gethard Show Will Be Going Completely Live on TruTV on August 3rd

From the humblest of beginnings, The Chris Gethard Show has made it to its 3rd season as a full fledged TV show on cable television while circling back to its devil may care, public access roots by broadcasting completely live (w/10 second delay).

Hopefully, you’ll get a sense of the beautifully controlled chaos that Gethard wrangles for his show and definitely see way more risks be taken than what happens on SNL.  

Watch the season premiere of The Chris Gethard Show, as well as a bit of TV history, on Thursday, August 3rd at 8PM PST/11PM EST on TruTV.

The Chris Gethard Show Moves to TruTV and Will Go Back to Broadcasting Completely Live

While Ryan Seacrest will join Kelly Ripa in greeting America in the morning despite Chris Gethard’s very earnest pleas for that gig, Chris Gethard and gang will be returning for a nice, big new season at a new network.

After spending some time at Fusion, TCGS will now move on to TruTV (honestly, it’s a better fit) for 16 episodes. 

Best of all, Gethard will get to do what made TCGS great by broadcasting the show live. It’s not “live to tape” like so many live TV shows. It will be aired as it’s happening and few in the world are as great as handling that controlled chaos as well as Chris Gethard.

Look for the new season The Chris Gethard Show at TruTV in August.

We’re pretty sure that any other comedy election day special isn’t going to be 12 hours long. 

That being said, thank goodness that Chris Gethard, the TCGS crew, and comedians Conner O’Malley, Tim Dillon, Jo Firestone, Shannon O’Neill, Maeve Higgins, Langan Kingsley, Brett Davis, Connor Ratliff, Lorelei Ramirez, Ana Fabrega, Kenny DeForest, Jackie Jennings, Murf Meyer, JD Amato, Will Miles, and much more will be giving the lovely alternative to whatever nail-bite inducing coverage is happening elsewhere.

From noon to midnight EST on November 8th, The Manhattan Neighborhood Network Election Special will air at MNN and MNN.org.

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

You’ll no longer be able to say that you can’t find where to watch TCGS.

Facebook now has a live broadcast platform as another new feature in the on-going competition with YouTube. 

Fusion is taking advantage by having The Chris Gethard Show not only live streaming on Wednesdays and then airing an edited version later on Fusion’s linear TV channel, but also adding a live stream on Facebook. Those tuning into the live stream on Facebook will be able to watch the show from multiple angles as well as interact with the show (a cornerstone principle of TCGS). 

The first run of this new platform for TCGS starts this week.

Chris Gethard Show writer Jo Firestone has had a number of pitches for bits/games/etc. that have been rejected by Chris Gethard. However, Gethard allowed for Jo to pitch those already rejected pitches to the interns and also allowed the interns to vote on an idea that would actually end up on the show.

Basically, Jo Firestone pitching things could be its own show.

Long time fans of The Chris Gethard Show know that Chris has always had an open door policy for rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs to come on the show. 

This week, Combs made a surprise appearance for the first time on the cable TV version of TCGS after Gethard lost out on his initial guest.

From the looks of it, the show was all the better for it as things like Zach Galifianakis calling in and challenging Diddy happened.

Check out this latest episode on Fusion at 7PM PST or at thechrisgethardshow.com.

The second season of The Chris Gethard Show on Fusion is premiering tonight at 10PM.

To kick things off, Gethard and company are getting right into the election cycle in their own way by asking employees of various Trump businesses if they’re voting for him in this election.

The show will also be back to an hour long format and feature live calls like the MNN version of the show in case you weren’t aware.

In any case, you should definitely watch the premiere tonight at 10PM on Fusion.

The Chris Gethard Show on Fusion is now going to be even closer to the public access version. 

When Gethard and company return to to Fusion this week on Wednesday March 30th, they’ll be getting a whole hour of airtime, take live phone calls, and are getting rid of Chris’ monologue. 

Like we said, it’s kind of like the MNN version of TCGS. 

Fusion deserves props for giving Chris Gethard and his TCGS gang the room to be the show they wanted to be as that spirit is what got TCGS on the map in the first place.

The first episode has Colin Quinn and Kool Keith lined-up and Chris is encouraging people to quit the day job that they hate.

As David Letterman was making his exit from the late night world earlier this year, you might have heard that they were throwing away his set at The Ed Sullivan Theater. 

Chris Gethard heard about that, and in a very appropriate symbolic move, took one late night’s legend trash in the hopes to make it his very own gold at The Chris Gethard Show now on Fusion.

Watch Gethard detail the whole experience on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Recently, Chris Gethard was invited to a HS graduation and wanting to making a fun video in the process, a very forced pun was given to him to say as a “joke” to tell when greeting the graduates. 

The results are similar to when Chris going through with his very literal Ritz Carlton dance with a little bit more frustration at the end.

Watch it all unfold here.

Even though he has his name on his own show now on Fusion, Chris Gethard still cedes much of the control as to what happens to him on The Chris Gethard Show to his staff in order to make their brand of great television.

Last week, that meant putting Chris in a very effective blindfold along with TCGS’ Shannon O’Neill and SNL’s Aidy Bryant and be tormented with coming into contact with various object, both inanimate or alive.

Watch it all go down here.

As a symbolic representation of how Chris Gethard went from public access on MNN to cable on Fusion, Gethard will attempt on May 11th to have several fans carry him from his home in Greenpoint Brooklyn all the way to Midtown Manhattan, stretching almost 4 miles. We’re not sure, but this will probably inadvertently be some sort of world record.

Gethard explains in full detail here.

You can sign-up here if you’re in NYC, want to do this, and can physically lift Chris (possibly with the help of some friends), but do so fast as slots are filling up quick.
