day, back in 2011.

Friday, September 15

Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents (Season Premiere) - midnight & 12:30
a.m.

Formerly known as The Half Hour, Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents...
is a weekly series of half-hour stand-up specials showcasing a diverse
lineup of comedy's fastest-rising stars. Filmed at The Civic Theatre
in New Orleans, this season features performances from Adam
Cayton-Holland, Anthony DeVito, Jo Firestone, Solomon Georgio, Casey
James Salengo, Sam Jay, Josh Johnson, Joel Kim Booster, Chris Redd,
Yamaneika Saunders, Julio Torres, Shane Torres, and Jenny Zigrino.

Tuesday, September 19

Tosh.0 (all-new episodes) - 10:00 p.m.

Tosh.0 is back with new episodes featuring razor-sharp humor and
biting commentary from comedian Daniel Tosh. The weekly, topical
series delves into all aspects of the Internet and the social media
landscape from the absolutely absurd to the incredibly ingenious. Each
episode includes a "CeWEBrity Profile" or Tosh giving subjects of
notorious viral videos a second chance to redeem themselves from the
embarrassment with which they have become synonymous with their very
own "Web Redemption."

The Jim Jefferies Show (all-new episodes) - 10:30 p.m.

The newest addition to the weekly, late night landscape, The Jim
Jefferies Show takes on culture and politics with an unapologetic,
honest and international approach. Jefferies tackles the week's top
stories in-studio and travels the globe to far-off locations to
provide an eye opening look at hypocrisy around the world. Featuring
interviews, international field pieces, and man on the ground
investigations, Jefferies covers the most controversial issues, all
through the lens of his distinctive brand of comedy. Season one
continues with ten all-new episodes on Tuesday, September 19.=

Thursday, September 21

Nathan For You: A Celebration (Original Special) - 10:00 p.m.

The season kicks off on September 21 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT with an
hour-long special in which Nathan checks-in with guests from past
seasons, called Nathan for You: A Celebration.

Monday, September 25

The Opposition with Jordan Klepper (Series Premiere) - 11:30 p.m.

The Opposition with Jordan Klepper will satirize the hyperbolic,
conspiracy-laden noise machine that is the alternative-media landscape
on both the right and left. The Opposition is the voice of the new
America. It is the America that defines its own reality. It's the
America of paid protestors, Obama's birth certificate, and the
certainty that CNN is fake news. The Opposition with Jordan Klepper
will premiere on Monday, September 25 following The Daily Show with
Trevor Noah.

Thursday, September 28

Nathan For You (Season 4 Premiere) - 10:00 p.m.

The new season kicks off with all-new business strategies that no
ordinary consultant would dare to attempt. In season four, Nathan
helps a computer repair shop earn its customers' trust by hiring a
fully asexual staff; devises a plan to sell hot chili at a hockey
arena by hiding it under his clothing; and attempts to get around
international tariff laws by rebranding smoke alarms as musical
instruments. With his unorthodox approach to problem solving, Nathan's
genuine efforts to do good often draw the real people he encounters
into an experience far beyond what they signed up for.

The President Show (all-new episodes) - midnight

Continuing in Comedy Central's grand tradition of producing
groundbreaking late night formats, comes The President Show. Created
by Anthony Atamanuik who hosts as Donald J. Trump, The President Show
gleefully tosses out the rulebook of its predecessors. Trump is
bypassing the crooked media by hosting a late-night show direct from
the Oval Office. No unfair questions from reporters, no awkward photo
ops with German ladies, and no bedtimes. Just a fun show where he can
put his unique Trumpian spin on such late-night stapes as desk
segments, field pieces and guest interviews. Vice President Mike Pence
is featured as his sidekick, played by Peter Grosz. Produced by Clone
Wolf Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment, this weekly, topical late
night series currently airs on Thursdays at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.
Beginning Thursday, September 28, The President Show will premiere at
midnight, following new late night series The Opposition with Jordan
Klepper.

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.
