Comedy Bang! Bang! (TV Series)
''Comedy Bang! Bang!'' is a television talk show created and hosted by Scott Aukerman. The show aired weekly on IFC and was a spin-off of Aukerman's podcast '' Comedy Bang! Bang!'', which airs on the Earwolf network. Like the podcast, the series featured outlandish and farcical humor, often delivered in a deadpan manner.

Bang!'' halfway through the fourth season, and a few weeks later was offered the job of bandleader for '' The Late Late Show with James Corden''. Musician Kid Cudi took over bandleader and sidekick duties after Watts' departure. The season four finale aired on December 10, 2015, and was Cudi's final episode. The series was renewed for a 20-episode fifth season on May 5, 2015. "Weird Al" Yankovic took over the position of bandleader for the fifth season, which premiered on June 3, 2016. On A ...
