they had some young guy on last night who was actually pretty funny. can't remember his name. i forgot that comedy central can get away with lots of four letter words late at night.

My brother is a fan, to the point where every time he says something vaguely stand-uppy, I can assume it's a Gaffigan quote. (He's especially fond of the "Hot Pockets" bit.) Can't say I've seen much of his stuff though.

OTM w/ the recent Onion webseries (porkin', sex house).
show deserves its own thread at this point. pancakes/divorce/pancakes is easily one of the best pieces of television i've seen.

tbf, late night hosts with a background in standup was more a diversion than anything. Steve Allen, Jack Paar and Johnny Carson weren't standups. They all either came from radio, tv or Vaudeville.

Hannibal would make a great travel show host. Like, every episode could start with some standup, then he leaves the club and you realize, hey, he's in Philly! Then he can go places, riff, meet people, go on adventures, etc. And then they edit it down to 22 minutes or whatever.
