They will be swing passes to McGrew out of the backfield on 3rd and long. But with two TE's and the best oline in the conference they'll convert 90% of the time
This has to be in Germany. There is a bunch of fat, pastey, white people who love black culture because they feel bad about Hitler. The token black kid looks like fucking Steve Urkel, who just managed to achieve warlock level 47 in WOW.

The Chris Gethard Show is, according to its website, "the most bizarre and often saddest talk show in New York City."[1] After starting off as a live show[2] at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York, the show moved to cable access on June 22, 2011. It is a call-in and variety show hosted by Chris Gethard that originally aired every Wednesday night at 11:00PM on MNN.[3] It transitioned to the cable channel Fusion on May 28, 2015. The show can also be found distributed across the web. The public-access television show is written and produced by Noah Forman, Dru Johnston, J.D. Amato and Chris Gethard. It is directed by J.D. Amato. The show, known for its "no cool kids" atmosphere,[4] has been called "oddly uplifting",[5] a "cult hit,"[6][7] "an often riveting experiment in seat-of-your-pants broadcasting,"[8] and has gained viewers from around the world.[9]
On January 5, 2016, Gethard announced that the show had been renewed for a second season by Fusion, now expanded to one-hour episodes, to air in the spring.[10]

Format[edit]
The format is extremely loose, but almost every episode features the panel interacting with callers. Episodes are usually based around a call-in topic, a game, or occasionally a plot. On public access, every episode ran one-hour in length and broadcast live on Wednesday nights. On cable, season one episodes were taped Tuesdays with a live-streamed interactive taping, with an edited half-hour version premiering on Thursdays. Season two episodes are taped Thursdays, with a live-streamed interactive taping, with an edited one hour version premiering on Wednesdays.
Cast and crew[edit]
Main cast[edit]
Chris Gethard[edit]
Chris Gethard is the show's host, namesake, and an executive producer. Often openly discussing his neuroses, including anxiety and depression, Gethard has a habit of putting himself in painful and/or degrading situations.
Shannon O'Neill[edit]
The artistic director of the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre, Shannon O'Neill is Gethard's sidekick, and often plays the serious straight man, contrasting with Gethard's less-restrained, anxious behavior.
The Human Fish[edit]
The Human Fish is a character performed by comedian David Bluvband. The Human Fish[8] is a half man, half fish hybrid who emerged from the sea in order to learn about humans, almost always dressed in goggles, blue swimming trunks and flippers. The Human Fish always has something on his mind, often phrased in an x vs. y format.[11] The character was briefly retired during the final episode of the first season on MNN, with Bluvband later joining the panel out of character. The Human Fish later returned for the final MNN episode, and remained a main cast member during the Fusion series.
Bethany Hall[edit]
A performer at the UCB Theatre and the show's stage manager,[11] Bethany Hall is known to all as the nicest, kindest and most rational member of the TCGS cast, often protesting the use of violence against Chris or other members of the show. Starting with "The Mole", Bethany serves as the show's "internet liaison", participating with and speaking for the show's chat room.
Murf Meyer[edit]
Murf Meyer is the show's announcer. Otherwise known as The Reservoir Dog, Murf claims to have stolen a handle of whiskey from Gimghoul castle, the headquarters of a secret society based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and is known for his rants about the Order and his attempts to divulge their secrets, which have become the subject of several specials.[12] He proposed to his then-girlfriend Diana Kolsky at the end of the "First Times" episode.
The Random[edit]
The Random is a rotating panelist who, prior to joining the show, must have had no previous interactions with the cast or crew, and remains on the panel for 15 weeks. This tradition began in the second MNN episode, "The Episode Where Everything Started",[13] when a woman named Jean called into the show confused as to what the show was even about. She was asked by Chris if she wanted to join the cast, to which she agreed and immediately became a part of the show, until she left for a job in California 15 weeks later, which begun the 15 week cycle tradition.[14]
There have been eight regular Randoms in total. The only one to remain on the show past their 15 weeks is Alex Clute, known as Random Messenger Bag. During his time as Random, Clute was given an offer by the show's director, J.D. Amato, to restart his tenure if he abandoned a handcuffed Gethard, leaving him at the mercy of cast members who would attack him; staying would result in Clute's departure from the show at the end of the episode. Clute took the offer; upon the conclusion of his time as Random, Clute later joined the show's house band, the llc.
Mimi on the Hoops[edit]
