This Week In Comedy: lots of great new comedy specials to look forward to. Some of these mark as unique & pretty cool comedy partnerships coming to fruition.
- Conan O'Brien & Max (the same team behind Gary Gulman's latest hour, Born on 3rd Base) have teamed up once again on a new comedy special with Rory Scovel's newest hour, Religion, Sex, and a Few Things In Between, premiering this week.
- Jenny Slate & A24 (who've previously worked together on the comedy films Marcel the Shell With Shoes On & Obvious Child) reunite once again for Slate's newest stand-up special, Seasoned Professional, premiering on Prime Video later this week.
- Mike Epps & Netflix of course come as a duo with no surprise as for their longstanding partnership. Epps newest hour, Ready to Sell Out, marks his fourth hour for the streamer. He also stars in the hit comedy series, The Upshaws, for the streamer as well.
Additionally, there are also some great stand-up specials and albums soon to be released later this week from the legendary Bernie Mac (posthumously), TJ Miller, Adam Burke & more.
And lastly, the highly anticipated hosting debut of Shane Gillis on Saturday Night Live finally happens this week!
