We’re all pretty big fans of comedy here in The Flickcast offices. From our love of this year’s Hot Tub Time Machine, to our obsession with shows like Community, Modern Family, and The Big Bang Theory. One show that has also grown on us since its first season is Comedy Central’s Tosh.0.

The show is an internet clip show, but unlike The Soup or its G4 cousin, Web Soup, this one is hosted by one of the funnier comedians working today, Daniel Tosh. For its second season, Comedy Central announced that they were giving Tosh.0 a whopping 25 episodes, which is more than the cable network normally gives a show, let alone in its sophomore season. From a recent press release, it seems that their decision has paid off.

“Tosh.0″ is currently in its second season which consists of 25 episodes (nine aired from January 13 through March 10, 2010) with new episodes returning on Wednesday, June 2 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT helmed by newly appointed executive producer Charlie Siskel.

The second season of “Tosh.0″ is averaging 1.8 million total viewers and is the most watched show in its time slot among Men 18-24 and Men 18-34.  Since the first season, ratings have enjoyed a meteoric rise in the following demos: Persons 18-49: +83%; Men 18-34 +85%; Men 18-24 +84%.

Fans of the show have not only been following Daniel on Tosh.0, but also on his Twitter, Facebook, and their constantly updated Tosh.0 Blog.

New episodes start back up in June, and you can expect to see season 3, which will consist of at least 29 episodes, grace the airwaves on January 12th.

While most of our favorite shows on NBC are on hold for something called “curling,” other networks are rolling along with their original programming. With that in mind, we get a bit of fan service as Michael Emerson, better known as Lost‘s Ben Linus, made a special appearance on last week’s The Soup.

Many fans across the country got to drop a jaw as the mysterious villain popped by to question the logistics of last week’s 24 in which Jack Bauer defies the laws of pain and reality once again. Emerson, who isn’t as creepy in real life as his Lost-counterpart seems to be every week.

According to ABC’s publicity, tonight’s episode is said to be a Locke-centric story, as “Locke goes in search of help to further his cause.” Not a surprise that they don’t give much more than that.

Check out the clip after the jump, and be sure to catch tonight’s episode of Lost entitled “The Substitute” on ABC at 9pm/8pm Central.

Yes folks, it’s that time again here at The Flickcast. Recap time. In this edition we’ve got clips and previews for some of NBC’s shows including Mercy and the soon to be on his own Conan O’Brien from The Tonight Show. First up on Mercy, Veronica’s patient last night was an interesting one and didn’t look all that bad for a man who wakes up from a ten year coma.

Next, Conan had some pretty good guests on his show last night and the love fest continued. The very funny Adam Sandler and Community’s Joel McHale stopped by. Joel even made a very generous offer – to let Conan host his show The Soup.

He wasn’t the only NBC actor to support Conan as Ed Helms of The Office also stopped in (and brought his piano) for a quick  song: a remix of his song from The Hangover with lyrics just for Conan. Oh, and apparently some sort of Masturbating Bear was also there.

Check out all the video clips after the jump.

Community, a new Fall sitcom offering from NBC, seems to be shaping up as a very interesting show and one defiantly worth checking out. We’ve brought you quite a bit of news and promos for it in the past, but that won’t stop us from bringing you even more promo videos right now highlighting all that’s good about the new show. Courtesy of the fine folks at NBC, these new clips, some of which are scenes from the show and some interviews, give even more insight into the characters and situations encountered by the eclectic ensemble that have gathered to bring this show to life.

To refresh your memory, Community, which comes from Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo (Arrested Development), is a smart comedy about higher education and lower expectations. It focuses on a band of misfits, at the center of which is a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale of The Soup). They form a study group and, in Breakfast Club fashion, end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work. Besides McHale, the show also features Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Ken Jeong and Chevy Chase. Yes, that’s the Chevy Chase.

In addition to all these promos and the other info we’ve brought you before, tonight we’re going to be at a special preview of the pilot episode of the show and will also get to ask the cast some questions. So, look for a review of the pilot and the Q/A with the cast right here at The Flickcast. Until then, watch these new videos after the jump and be sure to tune in when Community hits the airwaves on Thursday, September 17th at 9:30/8:30C.
