Last week, Nathan Fielder, star of Comedy Central's Nathan For You, asked his Twitter followers to play a prank on their parents by "accidentally" sending them a text about a drug deal and quickly following it up with "Sorry ignore that txt. Not for you." Dozens of kids followed suit and ruined their parental relationships for the sake of posting a picture of the text message conversation on Twitter, but now Nathan Fielder has stepped up to the plate to set things right.
Over the weekend, Fielder tweeted out his phone number so he can personally explain the joke to parents, writing, "If your parents are mad & [...]
Comedy Central's new comedy Nathan for You is one of the funniest on TV, and yesterday afternoon, its star Nathan Fielder wrote a tweet that is quickly destroying parent-child relationships all across America. Fielder tweeted, "Experiment: text your parents 'got 2 grams for $40' then right after 'Sorry ignore that txt. Not for you' Then tweet pic of their response."

You can watch the series premieres of The Ben Show and Nathan For You online now if you desire. The shows will be making their debuts on television this Thursday on Comedy Central at 10 and 10:30 p.m. eastern time, respectively.
Maybe its because more cable networks than ever are running original comedic programming, or network brass is sick of relying on the same familiar faces for all of their original shows, but Comedy Central is rolling the dice and uncharacteristically debuting two new shows this Thursday, back to back, hosted by comedians that haven't already been showcased on one of the network's roasts or half-hour standup [...]
Comedy Central is releasing two new shows, Nathan for You and The Ben Show, on February 28th, and they just dropped a clip from each one online. In Nathan for You (above), comedian and business degree-holder Nathan Fielder (Jon Benjamin Has a Van) tries to help out struggling small businesses in exciting and sometimes questionable ways. The Ben Show (below) stars comedian Ben Hoffman (InfoMania, Sports Show with Norm Macdonald) in a sketch/man-on-the-street/hidden camera hybrid. You have a month to watch these clips and to decide whether you want to watch these shows or not, which is plenty of time to make such a decision.
