Default Comedy Bang! Bang!

http://www.ifc.com/shows/comedy-bang-bang/about

Premieres Friday, June 8. Based on Scott Aukerman’s (co-creator/director/producer, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis; writer/performer, Mr. Show popular podcast of the same name, COMEDY BANG! BANG! cleverly riffs on the well-known format of the late night talk show, infusing celebrity appearances and comedy sketches with a tinge of the surreal. In each episode, Aukerman engages his guests with unfiltered and improvisational lines of questioning, punctuated by banter and beats provided by bandleader, one-man musical mastermind Reggie Watts (Conan), to reinvent the traditional celebrity interview. Packed with character cameos, filmic shorts, sketches and games set amongst an off-beat world, COMEDY BANG! BANG! delivers thirty minutes of absurd laugh-loaded fun featuring some of the biggest names in comedy.

Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games), Michael Cera (Arrested Development), Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Ed Helms (The Office), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Seth Rogen (50/50), Paul Rudd (I Love You, Man), Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation), “Weird Al” Yankovic (comedian/musician), and many others, all join in on the laughs with Aukerman and bandleader, one-man musical mastermind Reggie Watts (Conan).

COMEDY BANG! BANG! is produced for IFC

Big fan of the TV show and the podcast. I've listened to all 9+ days of the podcast. I just started going back to some of my favourites over again with the most recent ones being the Huell Howser ones.

First couple 2 episodes of the TV show were good but they have gotten better every time and the last few have been great. I hope we get a Sappity Tappity appearance soon.

Anyone know if we are allowed to watch this show in Canada yet?

I've been watching the show, and while I don't think it's as good as the podcast, it's still pretty funny.

The podcast this week featured the return of guests from "Farts And Procreation". That's one of my favorite episodes that I've relistened to a few times.
