Comedy Central Insider | Funny, TV and Comedy Blog

January is almost over. Winter is halfway through and change is in the air. People were born and people died. Flowers wilted and seedlings sprouted. Girls became women and boys became men. Boyz II Men changed their names to Men II Old Guyz. I finally got my period. And the final week of voting for Comedy Central's Stand-Up Month came to an end.

Here are the winners, along with the times their specials will air tonight:

Probably a good opportunity to remind everyone that we're not responsible for any ten car pileups that result from DVR-setting while driving.

Oh, and if you want to listen to it, here's that NPR segment.

Key & Peele premieres Tuesday at 10:30/9:30c.

So, what's the easiest way to help Earth? Learning and knowing stuff about it.

Learning and knowing… but you said "easy!"

Actually, I said "easiest," and the easiest way to learn and know stuff is by watching movies about stuff.

MOVIIIIES!!!

Documentaries can be educational and ent–

Documentariiiiies…

No — will you just — some documentaries are actually really–

Explain how!

I mean, you like a movie that's based on a story, right?

I guess…

Ripped from the headlines?

Keep talking…

Here are seven documentaries that are rich with drama just like you might see played out on screen by Jack on 24 or that guy from Angel. And…youjustmightlearnsomethingabouttheEarthtotallybyaccident. There are guns in one!

I love guns like the womb!

Let's do this:

Unlike many of my peers, I was actually not bullied in school. Hard to believe, I know, but it's easy to be popular when you're captain of the varsity long-term memory-repression team.

John Mulaney, on the other hand, was bullied and for some things that might surprise you, as he explains in this clip from his new special.

John Mulaney: New In Town premieres tomorrow at 10/9c.

Wednesday night, you might have seen Jon Stewart interview Paula Broadwell about her book All In. But what you didn't see was this segment where Paula challenged Jon to a pushup contest to benefit the wounded veterans charity Team Red, White and Blue.

A warning to our younger readers: This video contains uncensored explicit language.

A warning to our older readers: This video features three people in way better shape than you.

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11/10c.

In need of an easter egg in Action Comics issue #863? Why not Zoidberg? Via the Comics Should Be Good blog comes this frame from a Superman story set in the future that features the decapodian "M"D in the back of a paddy-wagon, presumably on charges of medical malfeasance.

I always get really upset when a famous person dies. Not because I'm mournful, but because I'm terrible at picking people for my celebrity death pool. For example, this year I picked Suri Cruise and The Highlander. On the other hand, as he explains in this clip from Russell Simmons Presents The Ruckus, Damien Lemon gets downright excited when a celebrity dies.

After the jump, Tony Roberts advises the audience to never make a sex tape.

Russell Simmons Presents The Ruckus premieres with back-to-back episodes tonight at 10/9c.

I'm going to watch it while I eat a meal while wearing pants that are teal with my pet moray eel whom I've named Jessica Biel.

Key & Peele premieres Tuesday at 10:30/9:30c.

In this appearance from last night's Conan, John Mulaney wishes he could watch four straight hours of Ice-T on Law and Order: SVU. Well, I wish I could watch four straight hours of John Mulaney doing his impression of Ice-T on Law and Order: SVU. I wonder if somewhere out there, someone wishes they could watch four hours of me wishing I could watch four hours of John Mulaney's Ice-T impression.

John Mulaney: New In Town premieres Saturday at 10/9c.

Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert aired the first half of his interview with Maurice Sendak, and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the legendary author's curmudgeonly bluntness, and it really set the bar high for the second half. Well, last night, part two aired, and from it did not disappoint, unless you think talking shit about Give a Mouse a Cookie is disappointing, in which case, you can go straight to hell.

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30/10:30c.
