Creak! Slam! Sit down for some Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast! This week’s episode has everything you love about the show; the music of Phish and pussy jokes! Natasha Leggero, Harris Wittels, and Harris’ protege King Henry VI are our guests, along with Natasha and Harris’ new characters Maude and Jack. Death-Ray fans know Jimmy Stewart to be dismissive, but we’ve unearthed some footage that proves that he’s also winning. Be sure to vote in the Harris’ Phone Corner Poll at our blog, and come visit us next Sunday in Austin for a LIVE Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast!

After months upon months of asking, Scott finally receives an answer to the all important question “What’s Up Hot Dog?” He also receives the answer to the less important questions “What is Hot Dog’s favorite band?” and “How does Hot Dog feel about races other than his own?” Comedian and detective (as we’ll all remember from The Opener) Ben Schwartz helps Scott through this chance encounter by judging singing contests, proctoring depression tests, and performing some impressive role-playing. Jukebox Jury makes its final appearance (we hope), and we take a trip through comedy history with some Slam Slam jokes. Keep leaving your catchphrase suggestions, and check Scott out in Austin and Chicago.

Of course, the Oscar for Outstanding Call-Back to a Previous Episode goes to Jeremy Piven. We just have one more, the Oscar for Outstanding New Feature which will go to Oscar Trivia. No Oscars for Paul Giamatti because he’s fat and bald and doesn’t bathe.

When you have your own talk show on IFC, you can get some pretty huge guests from the world of entertainment. This week Scott shows off his showbiz credentials with former Monk writer Tom Scharpling, gay marriage advocate Gary Marshall, and future “Best Book” nominee “Weird Al” Yankovic! If you want to know what it was like to write for Your Show of Shows, or how to behave during a Costco book signing, this is a show to which you should pay careful attention. Scott once again rolls out a new feature with “Who Said It?” but in proper tradition follows it up with a rather rousing round of “Would You Rather?” Like “Weird Al” always says: What’s Up Hot Dog!

We know that many of you are not ready to forgive Brett Gelman for the way he made a mockery of Comedy Bang Bang in 2010. However, we let him back this week solely to bring along Michael Gladis (aka Professor Kinsalot from Mad Men) and Maria Thayer from the upcoming Adult Swim show Eagleheart. The cast lets us in on the graphic beginnings of Eagleheart and try out our newest feature, Is This News Story True or False?! Scott scores the episode with songs off of Don’t Stop or We’ll Die’s new EP, and Brett helps lead the first-time guests through What am I Thinking?, Would You Rather?, and of course, plugs.

Lovers of spoken-word poetry and vokka rejoice! Harris Wittels once again has his dream of an hour-long phone corner dashed by craft-services coordinator and pudding aficionado Fabrice Fabrice. No disrespect, but Bobby Bottleservice comes by and relieves Fabrice of his interrupting-and-mocking duties with important info about upcoming events and his relationship with his mother. Jukebox Jury is back, and somehow overwhelmingly positive. Listen through the very end to hear Engineer Doug’s opus based on last week’s episode, Steak Shake, available from the Earwolf Store. Keep leaving your catchphrase suggestions, and go vote on the What’s Up Hot Dog Poll.

Get your Hollywood insider information this week on Comedy Bang Bang! Matt Braunger and Chris Hardwick take time away from creating their new T.V. pilots to stop by the Earwolf studios. They talk about performing stand-up on television, what goes into making a show, and their first forays into the industry. Scott debuts yet another game with Guess the Misheard Lyrics, and another feature with the WTF? Question of the Week. Matt and Chris play one of the most competitive games of Would You Rather? in show history, leading to a plugs extravaganza that has to be heard to be believed! Subscribe to Mike Detective to follow the rest of his story, and pick up Droppin’ Wallets in the Earwolf Store.

We’re droppin’ wallets in the Earwolf studio this week! Attractive comedians (and teddy bear enthusiasts) Chelsea Peretti and Nick Thune join Scott for a feature-filled episode of Comedy Bang Bang. With the premiere of Sports Results, the return of Mike Detective, and classic favorites Jukebox Jury and What Am I Thinking?, we get to learn about Nick’s brand loyalty, Chelsea’s middle school lunch lady, and, of course, fucking. Plus, the story that LITERALLY brought Scott to giggles once when he was drunk! Keep leaving your catchphrase suggestions and while you’re online, might as well submit an iTunes review.

It’s 2011, and you’re listening to “Mike Detective” with Rob Huebel! Also, before and after that you are listening to Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast with Scott Aukerman, Patton Oswalt and the aforementioned Mr. Huebel. The gang somberly and respectfully discusses the great phosphorous attack of 2010 before launching into hilarious comedy bits like our newest feature: Alive or Dead. It wouldn’t be a Patton Oswalt episode without Star Wars talk, and it would be a shame to have Huebel on without discussing prostate cancer prevention or letting him show off his brilliant foley work. Thanks for listening, and be sure to leave us comments with your catchphrase suggestions and applause videos.

If you asked for festive characters and heavy-handed puns in your letter to Santa, than Christmas is coming early for you! Scott welcomes Colin Hanks to this special episode, along with a slew of popular guests. Cake Boss and El Chupacabra present each other with Christmas gifts and Cake Boss treats us to his second-sight into 2011. Bob Ducca gives us a sense of what he wants for Christmas, and Scott’s neighbor Don de Mello teaches all of us (but mainly Colin) about show business. Brett Gelman makes some friends, some enemies, and some meaningful artistic literature. Stay tuned to the end for a Christmas miracle: Plugs. Merry Christmas!

Get your Aukerman on this week on Comedy Bang Bang! Due to uproarious positive feedback, Harris Wittels joins the show to give listeners the gift of Harris’s Phone Corner! Fortunately for those who aren’t the biggest HPC fans, Reggie Watts decides to stick around and treat us to some questions about his romantic, psychedelic, and musical past. Reggie provides live music for the entire episode, and Teamster Tommy Malone makes his first appearance to talk about his sexual problems and adoration for Phish. Harris’s Phone Corner runs just long enough to allow time for What Am I Thinking? and the premiere of the Motorcycle Theme Song! Happy Holidays from all of us at Earwolf, and don’t forget to check out the multitude of stocking stuffers available in the Earwolf Store.

Fans of Stella and The State rejoice! The Marm of Smarm Michael Ian Black graces the Earwolf studios for the first time and brings with him an expansive knowledge of football and a great potential art project for fans out there. Together Scott and Michael discuss his acerbic comedic persona, his mile-a-minute career, and the emotional issues that make him the fantastic comedian we all know and love. Unfortunately, Scott’s ex-step father Bob Ducca makes another appearance to let us know how he’s spending the holidays (hungry…very hungry). Bob and Michael go head to head in a game of Would You Rather? which brings up some emotional family issues for both guests. Without any spoilers, there are some meaningful hugs that lead up to the hilarious plugs. Remember to check out the CBB XMAS CD. and Ebay Auction, both benefiting the L.A. Food Bank.
