It's great that Adult Swim was willing to put up the cash to let Adam Scott and company pull off this silly idea for just a one-off special, and it bodes well for the future of the basic cable network, which has been making some of the zaniest, creatively-risky comedy on TV for the past few years and is clearly still finding new ways to let talented comedy people try funny, stupid things. The idea for The Greatest Event in Television History came from Adam Scott and wife Naomi Scott, the behind-the-scenes faux-documentary was written by Adult Swim's own Paul Scheer, and Scott co-directed the special with Lance Bangs (Jackass). Scheer was one of many to appear in a small role, along with Megan Mullally, Kathryn Hahn, director Gus Van Sant, and Survivor’s Jeff Probst, who hosted the special.
