When Comedy Bang! Bang! debuted on IFC two years ago, transforming the free-form improv of its podcast sibling into a tight 22 minutes of television seemed like a tall order. That's why creator Scott Aukerman didn't try; his TV show is a much different beast from the podcast, and successfully so: The series kicks off its 40-episode fourth season next year. Deeply silly and never afraid to go on a surreal tangent, Comedy Bang! Bang! is one of a kind, even on the crowded cable spectrum. That's why we're excited to debut a couple clips from upcoming episodes. The first comes...

(Cbr) You may not know The Birthday Boys, but you’ll definitely recognize quite a few of the faces on "The Birthday Boys," the sketch comedy group’s TV show that returns for a second season tonight at 11:30 on IFC. The Birthday Boys — Jefferson Dutton, Dave Ferguson, Mike Hanford, Tim Kalpakis, Matt Kowalick, Mike Mitchell and Chris VanArtsdalen — started as a stage show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles, and caught plenty of high-profile attention over the years; notably Bob Odernkirk and Ben Stiller (who have a shared history on sketch comedy with Fox’s short-lived but fondly remembered 1992 series The Ben Stiller Show). Odenkirk and Stiller serve as executive producers on "The Birthday Boys" TV show, with Odenkirk appearing frequently in the show’s first season. This year, though Odenkirk retains a presence on "The Birthday Boys," his schedule (including filming "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better...

When IFC ordered a series from Los Angeles sketch-comedy group the Birthday Boys, the septet wasn’t starting from scratch: Not only did it have eight years of performance experience under its belt, but it also had Bob Odenkirk—a man whose face belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of sketch comedy—as a collaborator, frequent star, and executive producer. That said, television remained a new frontier for the Birthday Boys, and the 10 episodes they made last year—now available on Netflix—provided a crash course in TV production for them. Ahead of the season 2 premiere of The Birthday Boys tonight at 11:30 Et on IFC,...

Maybe it hasn't been put this way yet, but we're living in the golden age of sketch comedy on television. When else has there been such a plethora of great options? Comedy Central has several of them—Key & Peele, Kroll Show, Inside Amy Schumer—but comedy nerds should also be watching The Birthday Boys on IFC. Executive produced by sketch-comedy guru Bob Odenkirk (for Ben Stiller's Red Hour) and starring the titular L.A.-based group, the series returns for its second season Oct. 17—which leaves plenty of time to binge the 10-episode first season on Netflix if you missed it.

In his review at the beginning of the season, Matt Zoller Seitz wrote, "Is IFC's The Birthday Boys hilarious and weird and wonderful, or do I just miss HBO's great, long-ago-canceled sketch classic Mr. Show With Bob and David? Probably the latter. But I'll take it anyway." The Birthday Boys are obviously indebted to Mr. Show, especially since Bob Odenkirk executive produces and appears in every episode, but over their first season's ten episodes, they have proven to be worthy of praise on their own terms. Like Mr. Show, the Birthday Boys are great at a certain underplayed absurdism — often finding the mundane in the extraordinary, as opposed to the opposite. Particularly good are their parodies that often feel like they are satiring the idea of satirizing something. With the season finale airing tonight, here are their nine best sketches so far. "Contemporary Family" The Birthday Boys love to make...

It’s official: Come January, SNL will be adding a black woman to its cast. (And possibly two, though Lorne Michaels is reportedly wary of having too many broads on set. Sigh.)
That woman could be one of the 11 comedians who apparently auditioned for SNL in a special showcase at L.A.’s Groundlings Theater. Comedian Simone Shepherd tagged them all in an Instagram photo that has since been taken down — and after looking into each one, it’s safe to say that there’s a lot of talent here. So much for black women not being ready for the Not Ready for Primetime Players.

Is IFC's The Birthday Boys hilarious and weird and wonderful, or do I just miss HBO's great, long-ago-canceled sketch classic Mr. Show With Bob and David? Probably the latter. But I'll take it anyway.Bob Odenkirk, who co-created Mr. Show with David Cross (and more recently played Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad), executive-produces the half-hour Birthday Boys along with one-time sketch-comedy whiz Ben Stiller, among others. Like the fitfully brilliant nineties sketch programs Odenkirk and Stiller helped shape, the troupe takes its structural cues from Monty Python's Flying Circus rather than Saturday Night Live — by which I mean the sketches aren't neat and self-contained, with easily delineated beginnings, middles, and ends. One bit will just sort of bleed into another, and you're not always entirely sure where one ended and another picked up. The Birthday Boys also borrows Monty Python's sketch-as-running-gag gag, where they'll keep returning again and again to...

Yes, Bob Odenkirk is returning to the world of weekly sketch comedy series. Nope, it’s not in the form of Mr. Show. (Though, if you said that, you’ve got guts… the guts of a man who’s fired!). Odenkirk and Ben Stiller — who teamed up in the early ’90s on Fox’s short-lived, Emmy-winning The Ben Stiller Show — are the executive producers of The Birthday Boys, which premieres Oct. 18 at 10:30 p.m. on IFC. Look for Odenkirk to appear regularly on the show as well. (And, of course, on the Breaking Bad spin-off featuring Saul Goodman. And on Fargo.

Yes, Breaking Bad is gone for good, and Better Call Saul is still just a glimmer in Vince Gilligan’s eye. But if there’s a Bob Odenkirk-shaped hole in your heart, fear not: The scene stealer will return to TV later this month with The Birthday Boys, a new IFC series. It’s the first sketch show Odenkirk has headlined since his Mr. Show days — and that fact, plus the presence of co-executive producer Ben Stiller, should be enough to excite any fan of ’90s cult comedy.

With Breaking Bad ending and the Saul spinoff still in development, there must be a place to go for your Bob Odenkirk fix.

You can stream one of the episodes in full below, in which the gang satirizes satirizing and makes quite possibly the best joke about harps ever. The show premieres on October 18. Miss you, Saul.

Attention, Breaking Bad devotees: There is more to Bob Odenkirk than Saul Goodman.
As any comedy fan worth her salt knows, the multihyphenate started out as a writer at SNL before moving on to The Larry Sanders Show and, eventually, HBO’s Mr. Show — a cult hit that Odenkirk co-created with David Cross. And though Odenkirk has dabbled in plenty of funny business since Mr. Show was canceled in 1998, he hasn’t headlined another sketch show since.
Actually, strike that. This fall, Odenkirk will get back to his roots in The Birthday Boys, a new sketch series he’s also...

The goal is for IFC to be closer to the vast Hollywood creative community and take more meetings and pitches with writers, agents and producers. Additionally, Keating, who has been at IFC for four years, will oversee the network’s growing roster of Los Angles-based productions. They include Comedy Bang! Bang and the two new scripted comedy series IFC greenlighted last week: The Spoils Of Babylon, produced by Funny or Die, and The Birthday Boys, a sketch comedy series executive produced by Bob Odenkirk and Ben Stiller. Keating reports to Dan Pasternack, VP Development and Production, who remains based in New York.
