Part of being a comic is knowing the right time and place for sharing your talents with the people around you. As Shakir Standley (from Last Comic Standing) found out, a packed train car with a captive audience may not be the best place to launch into a set.

As a current finalist on NBC’s hit show, Last Comic Standing, Shakir shared his hilarious experience with the audience. It worked, as he’s survived yet another round.

Stephen Colbert stepped down from the Captain’s Chair at Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report in December of 2015. To say that his show’s finale was a star-studded event would be the understatement of the century. Take a quick look below!

Today, nearly 8 months later, we’ve been treated to a new side of Stephen. Or, more accurately, a new style; growing a fierce beard and taking time to engage with fellow comedians (like his appearance on Jerry Seinfeld’s Crackle series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee”). The moment almost arrived where Stephen was ready to shave the Colbeard, but alas, it was too soon. read more

Following Jon Stewart’s departure announcement on  February 10, 2015,  Comedy Central gave the official  word  on Monday (March 30, 2015) that  Trevor Noah  would be  taking over as host for The Daily Show. Jon  Stewart has  been credited with not only developing a  top-rated show  in a tough times a lot,  but creating the  category itself.  Sure, Saturday Night Live has done their  “Weekend  Update” for a number of years, but there hadn’t been a dedicated  satirical news show prior to Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show along with its sister program The Colbert Report. So, to say that Trevor Noah has some big shoes to fill would be an absolute understatement. read more
