THE VERY FUNNY SHOW is produced by TBS Productions. The series is directed by Michael Dimich and includes written materials by Jeff Cesario and Bob Oschack.
I only recognize Wendy Liebman, because she has been around for decades.
J.R. you can catch a few of them from time to time on Chelsey Lately.
I could catch all of them on “Very Funny,” but that won’t be happening either.
I recognize two of them from Chelsea Lately (Caparulo and Cummings).
I was wondering on how I may be able to get tickets
to the new Late Night George Lopez’s show?
Where’s my girl Whitney Cummings? One of the funniest comedians out there right now.
I seriously do like what TBS has been doing with late night lately, its better than the broadcasters right now. They just need to bring back Match Game.
This show isnt funny at all.
I didn’t realize it had aired yet, Bad Robot.
a couple of these are former contestants on last comic standing (Dye and Ramey)
