With the Spring 2012 semester coming to a close, we are contractually obligated to have our 15 year-old intern Marissa Wompler visit. I cannot reiterate how much this is not our choice, especially now that she’s accompanied by her faculty mentor Miss Listler. We try to make the best of it with the return of Jukebox Jury and a game of What Am I Thinking?, but try as we might we can’t seem to pry Marissa away from her constant need to yell and discuss her changing body. Once again, our apologies.

We’re back again with more previously unreleased Comedy Bang Bang hilarity. This time first time guests Leo Allen and Will Forte remember some of their favorite rejected SNL pitches, discuss the tragedy of divorce, and try their hand at a brand new game: JING IT OR DING IT!

This week we’re giving you Comedy Bang Bang listeners a little treat: Two previously unreleased episodes with some behind-the-curtain commentary courtesy of Scott Aukerman. Today’s episode features Seth Morris in the role he was born to play: Himself! We also meet a brand new character from first-time guest Ed Helms. If you like learning how the bread is made, come back on Thursday for another look inside the Comedy Bang Bang vault.

What would you do if I sang out of tune? I’d tell you to shut up because we have actor and director Fred Savage on the show and he’s giving us secrets and scoops from the set of The Wonder Years as well as NBC’s Best Friends Forever, which he directed. We’ve also invited a couple of Fred’s fans to join us, Pam and Len Bicell, who treat us to some sensual fan-fiction and an equally sensual round of Would You Rather?! Now make like Fred Savage and vote for Comedy Bang Bang in The Comedy Awards!

It’s a tale as old as time: A precocious orphan with a heart of gold and a love for musical theater meets a living legend of Broadway. Such is the story of Fourvel and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, an unlikely pair who met during today’s Comedy Bang Bang. Are things going to change for the better for Fourvel? Will Lord ALW’s television debut be a SMASH hit? When are we recording this episode? All of these questions and more will be answered right here on Comedy Bang Bang!

This week’s Comedy Bang Bang was recorded live at the South by Southwest Festival 2012 in Austin, Texas. Our guest for the prestigious affair is the one and only Tim Heidecker who shows off his prowess in comedy, music, and headwear. To comment on all the delicious cuisine Austin has to offer is Merrill Shindler, who just might have found a new best friend in Bob Ducca. And since we have Reggie Watts around to perform the theme song and music breaks, it only makes sense that we should challenge our guests to a Freestyle Rap Battle! A great big Texas-sized thank you to everyone who came out to the show!

Put down your Entertainment Weekly and tune into Comedy Bang Bang! We have Jason Mantzoukas of comedy, film, and cinema fame here to count down the Twelve Nights of Oscars and more importantly, try to get through to a friend in need. Also joining us is first time guest Dalton Wilcox, a cowboy poet who don’t know much about this big city way of life. Sharp eared listeners might hear some cameo appearances from past Comedy Bang Bang favorites, so stay tuned on Twitter to let us know what you think! Click here to see a sneak peek of the Comedy Bang Bang television show for IFC.

You are entering Comedy Bang Bang, a magical place not far from Planet Centaur where 40 year-old raptors hail cabs and the object of your affection is alive in your wallet. A place where Ice T and Jesse Ventura can seek tough answers and pitch television shows, and where Greg Proops can explores the depths of the thesaurus. This is Comedy Bang Bang. For a sneak peak at the Comedy Bang Bang television show, tune in to IFC this Friday March 9th following the season finale of Portlandia.

Sorry you guys, but we did NOT get Ice Ben Schwartz or Ice Reggie Watts for the podcast this week. You’ll have to settle for their American doppelgangers who join the world-famous Scottabot and the legendary Bjork for a sexy, funny, sexy, musical, sexy episode of Comedy Bang Bang. Pop open a six pack of pudding and enjoy!

We all love David Wain, but do we really KNOW David Wain? This week’s Comedy Bang Bang is the only place on the internet to get in-depth info about Wain’s personal life with the added perspective of his father and four-year-old son. I think we all already know plenty about Gary Busey’s personal life, but regardless, he is here to speak about his exotic bird collection and recent economic hardships, among other things. Plus David is breaking out the tunes both on his keyboard and in a freestyle rap battle. This is the type of episode you’ll want to pass down to your own children and grandchildren!

Don’t stop listening to this podcast or you know what will happen! Paul Rust, Harris Wittels, and Michael Cassady from our favorite comedy-pop crossover act Don’t Stop or We’ll Die are in the studio to jam out some tunes before their matrimonial debut. And since we have these talented comedians here, why not have them play some What Am I Thinking? and Would You Rather? Don’t be surprised if some Hollywood legends and insiders show up while the band takes their bathroom breaks. After all, these are theRocky Vs. Rambo screenwriters we’re talking about!

Can I ask you a question? Are you ready for a star studded tribute to the most important Awards Show of the season? This year Comedy Bang Bang is paying tribute to The Grammys with guests like musical comedy legend “Weird Al” Yankovic, brilliant comedian Todd Glass, and Hollywood starlet Liza Minnelli. Get Grammy predictions from these industry insiders and listen to a thrilling game of Would You Rather? with a conclusion you’ll never see coming. Enjoy!

Have you seen Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie yet? We’ll you’ll be clamoring to see it after this in-depth interview with the titular Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim. They reveal all the deets about making a movie for “The Big S” and share with us the “Four Quarters of Success” that have brought them so much fame. Plus we have first time guest Dr. Bronner who teaches us an important lesson about generosity and togetherness as well as personal hygiene. And yes, all you Tim and Eric diehards, you WILL get to hear their beloved “Mike & The Dope” characters, so pop some corn and enjoy the podcast!

How about we get some ladies up in the Comedy Bang Bang studio? Tig Notaro has left the Professor Blastoff hatch and is making her triumphant return as Comedy Bang Bang’s master impressionist and character actress. In keeping with the theme we’ve invited (well, they barged in) Ronna Glickman and Beverly Ginsberg of the popular Ronna & Beverly Podcast. You’ll get a glimpse inside Scott’s marital home, a taste of Tig’s life on the road, and a schmear of Ronna and Beverly’s advice for divorcees.

I think we have a new best friend and his name is Nick Offerman! The ex-con and star of Parks and Recreation makes his Comedy Bang Bang debut this week and gives all you Parks and Rec die-hards a glimpse into the tear-jerking story of how Ron Swanson came to be. Also joining us is Paul Giamatti who trades audition and rejection stories with Nick. To put it simply: This episode is diminutive!
