This is the sizzle reel for a show called “Who Wants to Date a Comedian?” (Of course, the answe to that is no one. No one wants to date a comedian. They’re insecure, needy, and will make you the butt of their jokes onstage.) There’s no scheduled air date yet, but it’s supposed to debut “soon” on Comedy TV (which is a channel?) and in syndication.
Producer Byron Allen, the man behind the long-running chat show Comics Unleashed, unveiled his plans. “Who Wants to Date a Comedian is the next generation of dating shows,” Allen said. “We have access to the world’s funniest comedians, and this concept allows them to showcase their talent to the fullest. This new show is fresh, bold, entertaining, and hysterically funny.”
We know that the likes of Kyle Cease, Greg Hahn, Rebecca Corry, Adam Hunter, Tom Clark, Michael Gelbart and Marianne Sierk will be featured as potential dates for regular folks. [Laughspin]
I don’t think I’d call Kyle Cease and Greg Hahn “the world’s funniest comedians,” but the reel is nonetheless entertaining, even though this doesn’t look like a real show. It has the look and feel of a “Mad TV” sketch, with the notable exception that there are funny moments.

Have you been talking to Vince’s ex?
… or current? BURN! I’m awesome!
*hip thrusts to “what is love”*
Yeah, as much as I love stand-up comedians, I can’t think of any I’d want to date.
Unless you count Joel McHale. I’d marry him and have tall, fair, snarky children with him.
Comedians of the world… there are better ways to get exposure than this.
Byron Fucking Allen. Let me share his gem of a joke that opened last night’s Comics Unleashed: “Well I guess you heard that Fifty Cent got into a fight at the Olympus Fashion Show, New York Fashion Week, did you hear about that? Yeah, that’s what happens when you tell Fifty Cent not to wear white after Labor Day.”
zzzzzzzzz
Dane Cook: “I really hope you like this restaurant that I picked for us.”
Girl: “Yeah, I was here last week with Louis C.K.”
No one here would date Joan Rivers? I’m the only one…
Byron Allen is still alive? Seriously?
I dated an indie comic from Brooklyn (I know shocking!!!) for a few months. It was miserable. She was “depressed” all the time and incredibly snarky
Four Foot Eleven knows she’s a midget, right?
this looks like a sizzle reel for pitching and selling the show.
it sucks.
“No one here would date Joan Rivers? I’m the only one…”
Are we talking Joan Rivers today or Joan Rivers circa 1978?
‘Cause I’d totally do Joan Rivers today.
I’ve never needed that many bottles of water during a date. Am I doing something wrong?
I’d date…..or at least (pork quickly) Wendy Liebman….

I’ve felt so alone for so many years, and then palehose comes along and lifts my spirits.
*slow fwap
Holy crap. 3 minutes in and I still think this is an internet sketch.
I can’t believe Rob Schneider wasn’t available for this.
im a comedian and where the sister at put me on the show tidee11_2001@yahoo.com black comedians need dates too lol!
Show is pretty bad. Episode with Marla Schultz particularly painful to watch. All these guys are gay.
