If Tuesday night was your first episode of “The Chris Gethard Show,” it was probably around the point where a 12-foot-tall stack of cardboard boxes wobbled onto set that you realized it’s unlike anything else on TV. Sadly, if that was your first episode of “The Chris Gethard Show,” you also may have arrived at the station just as the last train left.
Since making its transition from public access to basic cable in May 2015, “The Chris Gethard Show” has staked its reputation to a very specific, unmistakable brand of anything-goes variety show unpredictability. Even with a talented staff of writers, some of whom have gone on to find work on network talk shows and “Saturday Night Live,” there has always been a certain amount of controlled chaos baked into the DNA of the series. Entire episodes have been built around the concept of putting host Chris Gethard, sidekick Shannon O’Neill,...

“The Chris Gethard Show” is back again, and the first thing it’s going to do is teach you how to say “I Don’t Give a Butt.” truTV is bringing the show back for 10 new episodes of improv and fun guests beginning in March, and the cast and crew are getting us excited with some music. The show’s house band, The LLC, has released a new music video called “I Don’t Give a Butt,” and it’s just as enjoyable and weird as the actual show.
Led by Hallie Bulleit and Bethany Hall, the song features questions like “What I say to dudes who try to mansplain / Some shit I already know?” and “What do I say when the invite says formal / But I’m not in the mood to dress up?” The answer, of course, is the title of the song (a phrase you’re now...

Could the next Johnny Carson be a comedian from West Orange, New Jersey with two Morrissey tattoos? "I know that's an unrealistic goal," Chris Gethard tells Rolling Stone with a bemused smile. "Is it gonna happen? Probably not. But why not try to take over, see what happens?"
Gethard, 37, is the creator and host of The Chris Gethard Show (Tcgs). "It's a show named after a guy and that guy's not in control," he says on the talkshow's zany, clubhouse-like set. Rolling Stone followed the comedian for a week leading...

On Thursday night, Chris Gethard is going back home.
Sure, home is a set at a Midtown Manhattan studio, made of leftover material from the set of David Letterman’s old show. Some of it’s been repurposed into The Diddy Door, a walkway reserved for Sean Combs.
“It’s oddly emotional for me to walk in and take a deep breath, because I always think about how for four years on public access, I did not have access to the trunk of my own car because it was full of our set,” Gethard said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “We’d have to show up, set it up, every week, knock it down every week, put it back in the trunk. The idea that we have a set now that’s a semi-permanent thing is just so mind blowing. It feels like an odd little victory.”
That set...

Political dynasties may find no love from Americans these days, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love our comedy dynasties. Fans of David Sedaris and Amy Sedaris will agree a little nepotism isn’t always a bad thing, as well as those who ate crow when Abby Elliott proved herself worthy of the strings (real or rumored) pulled by her father, “Saturday Night Live” alum Chris Elliott, to get her an audition for the show that started his career. Now, two great comedic families finally join forces as Amy Sedaris and Chris Elliott play the world’s worst parents in “Thanksgiving,” a loopy family comedy that — like its target audience — could use an Adderall.

At the time of this post, Thanksgiving is just eight days away, and Verizon and Hearst’s Seriously.TV venture is getting into the holiday spirit with a new web series. It’s called Thanksgiving, it follows the members of a dysfunctional family across a single Turkey Day, and it’s now available through Verizon’s Go90 platform.
Thanksgiving is the creation of Bethany Hall (who was a regular on the cult-favorite public-access TV series The Chris Gethard Show) and Daniel Powell (the co-creator of Inside Amy Schumer). To inject some star power into their show, Hall and Powell assembled a top-notch cast. The members of the Morgan and Tuniclif families include Bridey Elliott (who we’ve seen in several web series over the past few years), her real-life father Chris (who is an actor in his own right), and the always-exciting Amy Sedaris.
As with the other comedy shows produced under the Seriously.

It's Thursday night, and Chris Gethard has already broken his first pair of glasses of the evening. The audience in this midtown Manhattan broadcast studio are standing around a wrestling ring set up in the center of the room, cheering as loudly as they can. In one corner, a two-time world champion wrestler named Rhino circles the perimeter, his burly thighs rubbing together like two tan balloons. In the other is the 36-year-old comedian/talk-show host, unfazed by this behemoth of a man. Within seconds, the grappler has Gethard in the air,...

If wedding bouquet-catching were an Olympic sport, a special spot would be reserved for Jamie Jackson at the top of the podium. The 37-year-old Salt Lake City, Utah, woman has been to more than 80 weddings, catching the bridal bouquet a record 46 times, edging out other single women in the room like a defensive back intercepting a touchdown pass. The irony, of course, is that Jackson is still single. "I've pretty much crushed that 'next-to-be-married' myth," she tells People. "I've had boyfriends, sure. But I'm liking the single life. Besides, if I were married, I'd have to give up my favorite sport.
