“The Gorburger Show” is best known as a live-action Funny or Die digital series, in which T.J. Miller voices the show’s giant blue alien host. Now, Comedy Central has announced that they have greenlit the alternative late talk show to series.
The first season will consist of eight episodes, executive produced by Miller who will continue to voice and puppet the title character.
“In these times? Damn we need a blue ass monster alien to talk about what the heck is going on with humanity. And what is the difference between a hog and a chicken?” Miller said in a statement.
“Through his monster alter ego, ‘Gorburger,’ T.J. Miller will ask the big questions. Then he will confuse us with clarity,” Comedy Central president Kent Alterman added.

HBO will soon be home to an odd extraterrestrial character and talk show host. The television network has ordered a pilot from Funny or Die based on its YouTube web series The Gorburger Show.
Created by directors and writers Josh Martin and Ryan McNeely, The Gorburger Show will be based on the same premise as the Funny or Die series. In Gorburger, the titular character (voiced by T.J.

Oh guess who is being a bitch again? None other than America’s No. 1 most annoying newswoman -- Katie Couric. Recently, the former Today show host has caused quite the stir by taking her perkypants over to rival show Good Morning America for the week while Robin Roberts is out. But now it almost seems like she is taunting her old Today home.
Gearing up for her week-long stint, Katie has made several promos in which she has poked at her Today show past. Unfortunately, all this on-camera joking seems to be at the Today show’s expense, the job that made her famous and the show that was her home for 15 years. And now this Matt Lauer wax statue pic!
Along with the pic, Katie tweeted: "@Joshelliottabc and @katiecouric post @gma getting cozy with Matt in Time Square!"
Hey Katie, why don’t you tone down the tacky? It’s like sleeping with your best friend...
