In this all around fun show that ComedyE.com definitely thinks is ready for a late-night premium time slot, comedian Chris Gethard brings his interactive, off-the-rails talk show live to truTV.  On his phone-in comedy and variety talk show stretching the limits of what is possible on late-night television, Gethard walks a tightrope between chaos and control, attempting (and often failing) to wrangle celebrity guests, a cast of comedy improvisers, a studio audience and an electric fan-base of callers, all without a safety net.

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.Throughout its rise from a live stage show to a humble NYC public access show to a beloved and critically-lauded TV series, The Chris Gethard Show has attracted a host of A-list celebrity guests including Method Man, Ellie Kemper, P. Diddy, John Oliver, Paul Giamatti and more. In 2015, it moved to the cable channel Fusion, where it ran for two seasons before moving to truTV in 2017. The show is also distributed across the web, with full episodes uploaded to YouTube.

The series is produced by Funny Or Die.   Zach GalifianakisWill FerrellAdam McKayOwen BurkeJD AmatoBrian Stern and Gethard serve as executive producers.
