Comedy Central has two new shows debuting two weeks from today on February 28th, but the network just put the first episode of each one online today. The first new show is Nathan for You, a "docu-reality" series that stars Nathan Fielder (Jon Benjamin as a Van) as himself, using his business degree to help small business in absurd ways. In the premiere episode, which you can watch here, he offers his services to a yogurt shop and a pizzeria. The other new program is The Ben Show, a sketch show/man-on-the-street/hidden camera hybrid that stars Ben Hoffman (InfoMania, Sports Show with Norm Macdonald) as he navigates a different [...]

Jon Stewart was busy this Halloween. After taping that interview with Mindy Kaling, he brought some warm beer over to Rock Center to congratulate Brian Williams on his premiere. In its first interview, the show proves every bit as hip as anticipated, and it's only going to get cooler if Brian Williams installs the s'mores-ready fire pit he teases us with here. In seriousness, once the two get past the topic of Williams' comically long knee socks and start talking about Occupy Wall Street, they hit on a tone that's somewhere between jokey jokes, serious news reporting, and hotheaded punditry, and manages to feel like the [...]
The Fox network still has one new sitcom that hasn't debuted this season, The Goodwin Games, and according to Fox chairman Kevin Reilly, it won't be placed on the schedule anytime soon.

Wilfred's second season is set to premiere on June 28 on FX but you can watch the first episode on the Internet right now. (Hell, you might already be watching it.) Robin Williams makes an appearance as a psychiatrist, because it's his favorite profession to act as other than a jumanji. (He played a jumanji in Jumanji, right?) The first couple minutes focuses on whether Wilfred does or does not appear as a human in a dog costume. It's a real Wilfred-they-won't-they story.
