The Chris Gethard Show
The Chris Gethard Show was a phone-in comedy and variety talk show created and hosted by Chris Gethard. Initially a live show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York, the show debuted on public-access channel Manhattan Neighborhood Network on June 22, 2011. In 2015, it moved to the cable channel Fusion, where it ran for two seasons before moving to truTV in 2017.
The show moved to truTV for its third season, with 16 live hour-long episodes beginning in August 2017. truTV later ordered an additional 10 episodes, bringing the third season total up to 26. The new batch of episodes premiered on March 20, 2018.
On August 6, 2018, Chris Gethard announced via Facebook that the show was canceled by truTV.
The Chris Gethard Show takes calls in a comedy and variety talk show format around a theme, like "The Dumbest Thing You Ever Did". It bills itself as "the most bizarre and often saddest talk show in New York City." The show has been noted for its unpredictability. One writer said its "balance between control and chaos" involves Gethard being put up to a concept "and being totally willing to have the result be awkward or scary or funny or boring".
Almost every episode/performance of The Chris Gethard Show was created live, with the Fusion era being broadcast on Facebook Live but edited down for TV broadcast later that night. The other eras were shown directly to viewers.
In 2000, Chris Gethard began taking classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade while he was still a college student. There he met most of the people who went on to contribute to The Chris Gethard Show including current UCB Artistic Director, Shannon O'Neill. The Chris Gethard Show began as a monthly live show in 2009 and ran for two years. While initially popular, the show's audience began to dwindle and Gethard, on the advice of a friend, moved it to public access television.
The first episode of The Chris Gethard Show on public access channel MNN aired on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 11pm. This became the regular time slot for the show for the next four years, wherein the show had over 140 episodes. Over that time, the show gained a cult following and a passionate community, many of whom became members of the show's cast and crew. In November 2013, Gethard announced that the show was asked to make a pilot episode for Comedy Central, but in May 2014 wrote on his Tumblr blog that they had elected not to air the episode.
The final episode of The Chris Gethard Show on public access aired on Wednesday, January 30, 2015.
