Comedy Central has picked up the rights to three new series, The Burn, Review with Forrest MacNeil, and Nathan For You.
The Burn will star Jeff Ross, best known for his Comedy Central Roast apperances. He will be joined by a group of fellow comics to rip apart the week’s current events and will take aim at public figures. Ross, who has appeared in the last nine Comedy Central Roasts, is executive producing The Burn with Mike Gibbons and Tagline TV’s Willie Mercer and Amy Zvi. Production will start this spring for a premiere in the summer. “My mission is clear,” Ross said. “To rip the world a new asshole one crack at a time. I can’t wait to get started.”
Review with Forrest MacNeil is a half-hour comedy written and executive produced by Charlie Siskel (Tosh.0) and Andrew Daly, directed by Jeff Blitz and starring Daly as the title character. The project is a send-up of traditional review shows but instead of films, food or art, Forrest MacNeil reviews difficult life experiences by living them. He reviews whatever his TV audience throws at him: the adrenaline rush of stealing, the drama of divorce, the effects of murder, the wonder of anonymous sex. He rates every adventure on a scale of zero to five stars.

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.
