In Comedy Central's Michael and Michael Have Issues, we have another show-within-a-show, a la 30 Rock. This one stars former members of The State (and a bunch of other stuff like Stella and Wet Hot American Summer), Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter, as the hosts of their own fictitious sketch show. We'll go "behind-the-scenes" and learn all about the issues that "the two misguided stars wrestle with as they confront their own issues of insecurity and jealousy as each attempts to undermine the other."

Throughout this crazy election season, whenever I've needed a quick pick-me-up or a laugh at the day's wacky events, I've turned first to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. So it's only fitting that the two of them will be a big part of today's election TV coverage, with a live Indecision 2008: America's Choice special airing at 10 p.m. EST, 7 p.m.

Sarah Silverman is back and ready to do really gross stuff on your TV in the second season of Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program. Clearly, Silverman is an acquired taste (although I think she expanded her reach a bit with the success of her duet with Matt Damon), and the preview clips for this next season reveal she doesn't really care.
For me, watching Sarah Silverman causes a range of reactions: side-splitting laughter, gasping, a lot of looking away and screaming, "ew!," etc.

What do you get when a raunchy, dirty, frequently inappropriate TV event meets one of the raunchiest, dirtiest, most inappropriate comedians of a generation? Awesomeness — and a stomach that aches with pain from too much laughter. And that's why I'm not-so-secretly looking forward to tonight's roast of Bob Saget on Comedy Central.

There's news from Comedy Central this morning that the network plans to revive the '70s hit The Gong Show. The original, hosted by TV personality (and possible CIA hitman) Chuck Baris, featured amateur performers showing off their talents — singing, dancing, fire-eating, juggling — for a panel of celebrity judges. Good acts got to complete their performances, but the bad ones got the gong.

It was just announced that Jon Stewart will return as host of the 2008 Academy Awards. The show airs Feb 24 and will be produced by Gil Cates, who also produced Jon's first time back in 2006 and must have taken a liking to "The Daily Show" anchor.
The only slightly odd part was that Jon's 2006 ratings were lower than both Chris Rock the year before and Ellen last year.

When "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" correspondent Rob Riggle reports on the Iraq war tonight, the segment will be a little different from Riggle's typical dispatches on "Mess O'Potamia." This time, Riggle will actually be reporting from Iraq.
Riggle, who was a major in the U.S.

If you're already a fan of Comedy Central's "Reno 911!" then the movie Reno 911!: Miami is a dream come true. Basically the film strings together a series of physical jokes and one-liners, but somehow it works and is hilarious.
