Help 'The Chris Gethard Show' Climb iTunes' Podcast Charts

by | February 12th, 2013

Last week, comedian Chris Gethard told his fans that if they helped his public access program The Chris Gethard Show become the #1 video comedy podcast on iTunes, he'd host this week's show while doing algebra, listening to "Gangnam Style" on a loop, and being slapped in the face – all with an ice pack down his pants. Gethard's fans achieved that goal in a single day, causing him to up the ante. Gethard has now promised that if the show becomes the #1 overall video podcast, on top of all that other stuff, he'll do the show with his face painted (without looking at how his [...]

Oh my goodness gracious me.

Here's hoping this season busts through the top of the chart once they decide to turn the show into The Stefon Hour featuring Stefon in 20 different scenes. Wise up, people! It's happening! The Stefon Hour is coming.

Conan O'Brien Rules the Internet, Provided You Ignore His Main Competitors

by | July 12th, 2011

This chart from Trendrr claims that Conan O'Brien was "by far the most-talked about late night talk show in social media last month." OK. But as you can see, they didn't track the two most popular late-night shows amongst 18-34 year olds, the folks most likely to be using social media: The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. So while I guess it's interesting to see how much more chatter there is about Coco than Leno, Letterman et al., it seems a little disingenuous to make the claim that he's the most talked about name in late night. I'd be much more interested to see Coco lined up [...]

Very Important Data: Our Parks and Rec/Party Down/Childrens Hospital/The League Venn Diagram

by | October 7th, 2011

We recently found a venn diagram showing how the casts and guest stars of Arrested Development, Parks and Rec, and 30 Rock intersect. It was very cool, but also it made us think: we can go crazier with this. So allow me to present you with the Parks and Rec/Party Down/Childrens Hospital/The League cast and guest stars venn diagram, showing just how incestuous our favorite comedies really are. It also notes which people are involved with UCB, Earwolf, The State and Human Giant, showing even more overlap and cross-pollination.
