Upcoming Panelists

[trow125]

Ooh, this sounds super fun. I've already posted the guests, but I didn't know it was going to be an all-star ToC.

 

"@midnight" March Madness Tournament of Champions guests include Doug Benson, Nikki Glaser, Kyle Kinane (Monday, March 7); Paul F. Tompkins, Jen Kirkman, Randy Sklar (Tuesday, March 8); Ron Funches, Jesse Joyce, Tom Lennon (Wednesday, March 9); March Madness Tournament of Champions FINALS (Thursday, March 10).

 

I wonder if the Sklars drew straws to decide which one would participate? Or maybe Randy's racked up more wins.

[trow125]

Next week's guests include Jon Daly, Emily Fleming, Matt Braunger (Monday, April 4); Randall Park, Maria Thayer, Chelsey Crisp (Tuesday, April 5); Keegan-Michael Key, Tiffany Haddish, Jamar Neighbors, Cast of "Keanu" (Wednesday, April 6); Emo Philips, Reggie Watts, Rachel Bloom (Thursday, April 7).

[trow125]

"@midnight" Guests include Logan Paul, Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, Brittany Furlan (Monday, April 11); Carrot Top, Lamorne Morris, Arden Myrin (Tuesday, April 12); Cast of "Time Traveling Bong" - Ilana Glazer and Paul Downs, Lucia Aniello (Wednesday, April 13); Annie Lederman, Mike Lawrence, Rich Eisen (Thursday, April 14).

Chris Kluwe? That's...a weird guest. But he's eye candy (and writes hysterically and well), so: Yay!

Chris Kluwe? That's...a weird guest. But he's eye candy (and writes hysterically and well), so: Yay!

He and Hardwick became friends when he first did the Nerdist podcast shortly after he wrote his open letter.

[trow125]

"@midnight" guests include Alanna Masterson, Danny Masterson, Christopher Masterson (Monday, April 25); Anthony Atamanuik, Jimmy Carr, Sara Schaefer (Tuesday, April 26); Tony Hale, Tim Simons, Reid Scott, Cast of "VEEP" (Wednesday, April 27); Chris Gethard, Jen D'Angelo, Aisha Tyler (Thursday, April 28).

 

Also, Chris Hardwick's "Funcomfortable" stand-up special will air Saturday, April 30 at 10 PM: "The @midnight host makes things very funcomfortable for the packed house at The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco as he explores awkward and sometimes super creepy memories from both childhood and today. With 'the energy of SpongeBob dipped in cocaine water,' Hardwick delves into dealing with anxieties, finds the humor in joining the 'Dead Dad Club,' and shares deeply personal anecdotes that most people would be too embarrassed to say out loud."

OMG, I can't wait for Monday's episode. Sinbad is one of the funniest stand-ups I've ever seen. His ability to think on his feet and improv while working the crowd is legendary. I know he won't be working the crowd here, but I'm sure he'll have funny things to say other than his pre-written jokes. 

And I've never seen Maria on @midnight, so I'm looking forward to that ep.

Wow. That differs from the impression I've always had (and gotten from many others)--that Sinbad, while he was fairly funny early on never got it back after he went bigtime. Kind of like what happened to George Lopez (another guy who was funny before fame caught up with him), or in fact even Jay Leno (same deal, but on an even bigger scale). 

Personally I've always like Cedric the Entertainer, but know there are people that totally hate him. 

I can't stand that those Sklar brothers are back tomorrow. Who the hell keeps asking for them?

Maria Bamford's been on before. Probably four or five times I think. She actually tones the weirdness down a little from her standup act, where she's mondo-weird.

I don't know how Sinbad's comedy was in the '90s and the aughts, but I've seen his stand up show for two years in a row, and he's really funny. Maybe being out of the limelight has helped bring him back to his stand-up roots. His comedy relies more on observational humor than clever joke writing (although I'm sure he does write many of his jokes), but it's very smart and timely. And I've never seen a more diverse audience than I have at Sinbad's shows. His fans span the gamut in terms of age, race, socioeconomic status. Even able-bodied-ness (I saw several wheelchairs and two-caned audience members). I hope I'm not setting my expectations too high for tonight's show. 

And I guess I'm one of the few people who likes the Sklar brothers. Maybe it's because I listen to their podcast and enjoy it. I've come to appreciate their off-beat sense of humors. They feel like old friends to me. 

Cedric is a great comedic actor. I've never been a huge fan of his stand-up, but I'll enjoy seeing him on the show. 

[DeLurker]

The Sklars don't bother me, but I am neutral on them at best.

Just various stand-up specials (including a rebroadcast of "Funcomfortable" on Wed. night). This is what Comedy Central typically does during a two-week break: one week of show reruns, one week of other stuff.

[zxy556575]

I thought maybe it was Chris' wedding, but that's not until August 20.

[trow125]

It wouldn't surprise me if Chris picked his wedding date to coincide with a show break. The Comedy Central late-night lineup almost always takes a couple weeks off around that time of year, so I assume they're mapped out far ahead of time.

I love Paul Scheer and Jim Gaffigan.

And I might be the only person on the planet who doesn't like Greg Proops. He's witty and progressive, but I hate it when people act like they're the smartest person in the room. Because he isn't. 

[trow125]

Heads up -- due to the party conventions, @M will be airing Tues-Fri for the next two weeks, instead of the usual Mon-Thurs.

I'm not sure what "@midnight Olympics" is, but I would guess it'll be another playoff with the comedians representing their countries of origin (Flula for Germany, Yakov for Russia, Maeve for Ireland, etc.) with the winners of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday facing off on Thursday.

Kato Kaelin?

Edited September 18, 2016 by ABay

[Monty]

I think the Helbig/Hart/Hart panel is the only three-person panel that's happened more than once, and this is third or fourth time for it. I know they're pals, but mix it up a bit!

[trow125]

Not sure exactly what this means... I'm hoping they will be using him somewhat sparingly if he's going to be on all 4 shows.

TRUMP (ANTHONY ATAMANUIK) TAKES OVER @MIDNIGHT THIS WEEK!
Fresh off its second Emmy® win, "@midnight with Chris Hardwick" is being TRUMPED this week! "Donald Trump Presents: @midnight" special episodes air Monday through Thursday at 11:30 PM ET/PT on Comedy Central. Trump (played by Anthony Atamanuik) appeared on the show back in March and is set to join every episode this week. He will be taking part in an "@midnight" Facebook live event today at 1:30 PM PST/4:30 PM EST and he's taking control of all @midnight's social channels for the day.

[trow125]

For some reason, Kato Kaelin has been replaced by Jaleel "Urkel" White. Emo Philips will also be on Monday's show.

Mo 9/26: Margaret Cho, Jaleel White, Emo Philips

Tomorrow's panel will be Doug Benson, Steve Agee & Brendon Small. I hope this is because Ron got an awesome job or audition or something. Hopefully he'll be rescheduled soon.

Rich Eisen has been added to the 10/5 show. Rest are TBAs.

[topanga]

Eisen! I love his dry humor. And he did stand up in college for about 5 minutes, so I hope he has good comedic timing.

Wow, Weird Al and Kate Micucci on the same panel. I wonder if they can get a third person with a similar hook and are planning to make a musical show.

[Monty]

Somebody from Tenacious D or Flight of the Conchords would make sense. Or they could just get Riki Lindholm. Even Mike Phirman would fit, and since he's Hardwick's best friend, I imagine he'd be available.
