Stephen Merchant Wears a Checkered Shirt and Rolled Up JeansCreated, written by and starring Scott Aukerman (co-creator/director/producer, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis; writer/performer, Mr. Show) and based on Scott's popular podcast of the same name, Comedy Bang! Bang! infuses celebrity appearances and comedy sketches with a tinge of the surreal. In each episode, Aukerman engages his guests with unfiltered and improvisational lines of questioning, punctuated by banter and beats provided by his bandleader, one-man musical mastermind Reggie Watts (Conan). Packed with character cameos, filmic shorts, sketches and games set amongst an off-beat world, Comedy Bang! Bang! delivers thirty minutes of absurd laugh-loaded fun. The series features some of the biggest names in comedy, including Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Tenacious D (Jack Black & Kyle Gass) and "Weird Al" Yankovic. Other guests include Will Arnett (Up All Night), David Cross (Arrested Development), Will Forte (SNL), Topher Grace (Valentine's Day, Spiderman 3), Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Gillian Jacobs (Community), Nick Kroll (The League), Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!), Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad), Chris Parnell (Archer), Paul F. Tompkins (Mr. Show with Bob and David) and so many more.
