What are the odds this gets interrupted for "Breaking News"?
That ruined The 80s last year.

At first I thought this was bumped for new episodes

Been watching this via On Demand from the cable company. Unfortunately not evey episode is available.
I'm in the middle of an episode that touches on drugs/alcoholism in comedy. Kinda sad seeing so many greats that succumed to those vices. However, in the four episodes I've watched I've yet to see a single clip or mention of Mitch Hedberg. One would think if any episode would feature him, it would be this one.
There are some poignent moments covering Robin Williams and Richard Pryor.

It is back for season 2.
I thought all the topics were covered in season 1.

Caught the ones I missed on Hulu. The first season covered quite a bit. It'll be interesting to see what they came up with for season 2.

The episode about comedians that don't go blue or keep it clean was good.
