Nothing but the stars on this post-Oscar show!

Host of Honor J-L Cauvin introduced the following lineup:
Isaac Landfert
Phil Murphy
Baratunde Thurston
Luke Thayer
Katina Corrao

With special guest appearances by Halle Berry and singer M.I.A. with the news.


Abbi and Luke welcomed viewers to the 53rd show by reminding viewers they are getting married in 2 months! Then they fought over whose name Abbi will take. She likes "Depp" or "Diggs".


Back for his fifth visit to the show, J-L Cauvin is no stranger to celebrity-life. He's already been on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson!


Isaac Landfert made his debut on the show and discussed life as he makes his way toward 30. Just a baby in movie producer years.


Academy Award-winner Halle Berry made a public service announcement about injustice in the world, including Mickey Rourke's missing Oscar.


Phil Murphy celebrated his first time on the show, discussing sports and the people who are obsessed with them.


The Onion's Baratunde Thurston rallied the crowd with tales and slides of his experience on CNN.


Did somebody say awards show? The woman who rocked the Grammy's with her pregnant-bellied rap came on our show to give us her postpartum take on the current events.


Don't take it personally Tommy Lee Jones, but Luke Thayer says old people have no purpose at the gym. No Country for Old Men reference, one year later!


Katina Corrao knows all about major events, and shared with us her wacky Convention Center antics.


Isaac Landfert became the Funniest Comedian of All Time! He'll have no trouble singing the blues with these colorful plastic harmonicas. Jam on!

Spring is marching in like a lion, so come help us tame it at our next show March 13th!

Show 52: Anti-Valentine's Day Show!

A holiday that makes people feel guilty stinks! So we decided to joke about it. Forget sweet nothings--the walls were adorned with mean somethings; candy hearts with all the messages you've been itching to give your admirer.

Host of Honor Dan Fontaine introduced the following bitter lineup:
Abbi Crutchfield
Jena Friedman
Barry Rothbart
Helen Hong

With special guest appearances by Joaquin Phoenix and Bradley Winford, Crisis-Survivor!


Abbi and Luke welcomed viewers to the fifty-second show by temporarily calling off their engagement.


Dan Fontaine kicked off the show exploring unconventional names and the noisy kids that live above him.


Abbi Crutchfield took an uncomfortable walk down memory lane, telling a story of heartache in France, which gave new meaning to the term Les Miserables.


Jena Friedman confessed to being unlucky in love as early as the second grade. Kids can be so cruel. Especially when they grow up to be comedians.


As if he hadn't cause enough of a stir on The Late Show with David Letterman, Joaquin Phoenix stopped by to add more awkward pauses to live comedy shows.


Barry Rothbart popped in for a guest spot to teach us lessons in love from strangers and the crappy gifts they yield.


Bradley Winford, survivor of the miraculous flight 1549, came to relive his ordeal and sweep your leg.


Helen Hong returned to the show to speak on the trials and tribulations of online dating. And the bland doctors that lurk behind attractive profiles.

Josh Sankey and Jacob Mustian of Camp Wayne closed the show with a sketch about one man's love (and another man's fear) for Mrs. Butterworth.



The Hat of Chance is not picky about who it dates but definitely gives careful consideration to The Funniest Comedian of All Time. Jena Friedman was the winner! She can take stalking to a new level with this photo calendar of a random family's memories.

Forget your own problems, and get ready to relish celebrity anxiety from the Oscars at our next show February 27th!
