Comedy Bang Bang is a television series based on Scott Aukerman's popular podcast of the same name. The show is a talk-show parody that features celebrity guests, comedy sketches, and animation. It cleverly riffs on the well-known format of the late night talk show, infusing 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 bandleader Reggie Watts. The series delivers a unique blend of character cameos, filmic shorts, sketches, and games set amongst an off-beat world. Comedy Bang Bang aired weekly on IFC and was created and hosted by Scott Aukerman, who also created the podcast that the show is based on. The show features outlandish and farcical humor, often delivered in a deadpan manner.
