Banzai moving to Comedy Central

Although the show was pretty stupid, I thought it would make a good drinking game show.
Comedy Central has snagged the rights to the short-lived FOX series and will begin airing the show Thursdays at 10:30/9:30c beginning next month. The deal includes the broadcast rights to all 10 produced installments (four of which never aired on FOX) as well as the option to produce new episodes. A paltry 4.77 million viewers on average tuned into the series during its six-week run on FOX last summer. Nevertheless, Comedy Central executives were reportedly impressed by its performance in several key male demographics: men 18-34 (1.1 million) and 2.6 among men 18-49 (1.6 million).

Schweet! Although half the fun of the show was being able to play along online. I'm going to really miss that aspect of the show.

The stunts and the overall format grew tiresome pretty quickly, in my opinion, but I do have to say that the Lady One Question and Mr Shakehands Man bits were usually funnier than they should have been. Listening to some celebrity try to keep rambling on about their current project in the face of that implacable stare...
