And the chance to win a pound or three.

Hey everybody, today's show is brought to you by Comedy Bang Bang, the new show on IFC. I guess it's not

really new, but it's Scott Ackerman's show and Scott is hilarious, so you should watch it. It's on

IFC every Friday at 10 p.m. 9 Central. Scott Ackerman is your host. He hosts the Comedy

Bang Bang podcast as well as this TV show, which is an amazing

translation of that podcast to an absurd half-hour comedy show that only looks like a talk show.

The band is Reggie Watts. He's the whole band, and Reggie is phenomenal. Every time the camera

turns to him, it is something hilarious. He's had all,

Scott's had all the biggest names in comedy on this show, Amy Polar, Zach Gallifaniacus,

Seth Rogen, all those guys. This Friday, Scott's guest is Elizabeth Banks, and he'll also

interview a critic who is reviewing the show, which is a great

concept, and it's the kind of thing that Ackerman does so well. Some other special guests include

John Daly, Thomas Lennon, you know Tom Lennon, he was the star of The Dark Nout Rises, Polly Shore,

what, apparently, David Wayne, lots of other cool folks.

So check out Comedy Bang Bang, this and every Friday at 10 p.m. 9 Central on IFC. And now,

please enjoy our animation celebration panel.
