Important Things With Demetri Martin - New Series On Comedy Central

[SlipKnoT]

Demetri Martin launches potentially the most important TV show ever of all time, "Important Things with Demetri Martin," a sketch comedy series premiering on Wednesday, February 11 at 10:30 p.m.

Stand-up comedian, Emmy®-losing writer and all-around person, Demetri Martin is the creator, executive producer and star of "Important Things with Demetri Martin." In this sketch comedy series, Martin mixes stand-up comedy, sketches, animation, studio bits, and music to explore one "important thing" per episode - like Power, Safety or Chairs. Demetri's jokes, drawings and hair will play major roles in the series. There are also some celebrity cameos by David Cross, Amanda Peet, and Martin's "Daily Show" colleague John Oliver.

"Important Things with Demetri Martin" is the second series pick-up under COMEDY CENTRAL's first-look agreement with Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions, Inc. The show is produced by Busboy in association with One Verse, Inc. and is executive produced by Stewart and Martin. Rich Korson and Chris McShane are the executives in charge of production for Busboy. Dan Powell is the executive in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.

Looks good.

Of course it looks good, it's Demetri Martin.

This may give me motivation to actually watch Comedy Central again.

I wasn't so sure about Demetri Martin. At first his jokes were fresh, but they quickly became predictable. Plus he never called me back. After I saw Person! though I became a fan. If he's actually the driving force behind this then it might be a comedy gem. Comedy gem...

Person. was a decent stand-up special, so Martin's okay. I might watch it a little, probably mainly for David Cross and John Oliver. How bad could it be, anyway?

 

[Edward_Elric]

It looks very interesting. I think that it might be a good show, though one of his commercials reminded me of the entrance to the Chappell show and I wouldn't like a copy of that. Hopefully it will be a great show. I think it will be.

I guess I'm the only one here who's never heard of Demetri Martin.

It'll probably be good.

he's horrible..RALPHIE MAY is where its at.

 

[DAVEZILLA]

Dude, Ralphie May is hilarious!

This new show is gonna be awesome. His commercials are great: Shaker solo...

I have really low standards though...

 

[EmberStar the Blaziken]

I'll watch it, but it better not be stupid jokes like "The Sarah Silverman Program". That was just stupid.

 

[DAVEZILLA]

Oh no you didn't! The Sarah Silverman Program is awesome: Oh Doody Balls!

BTW: I read some of George Carlin's book (the one mentioned in your sig.) That book is absolutely genius... Some of it is so simple, but who really thinks of all of it!

Ralphie May is a fat bastard. He's barely funnier than Larry The Cable Guy, he's poor in comparison to just about any other Comedy Central comedian, and that's not saying much.

I'll watch it, but it better not be stupid jokes like "The Sarah Silverman Program". That was just stupid.

It won't be, just watch the video on CC's site.
