During the commercial breaks in Maron, IFC shows a montage of clips from other comedy shows on the channel: CBB, Portlandia, etc.
In the middle of this week's montage there was a clip of Bob Odenkirk as what appears to be a motivational speaker of some kind. Anyone know what show that's from?
From the IFC site:
The Birthday Boys
Coming This Fall
Executive produced by Bob Odenkirk (“Breaking Bad,” “Mr. Show”) and Ben Stiller (The upcoming “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “Zoolander”), “The Birthday Boys” features the Los Angeles comedy group of the same name (UCB Theatre Los Angeles, Just for Laughs Festival) along with Odenkirk.
The series is in the classic vein of absurd/silly/smart/funny variety shows (“Mr. Show,” “Monty Python”), featuring sketches that twist real--life moments and cultural touchstones. An earlyepisode tackles such issues as eggs, toilet paper and computers. The Birthday Boys comedy group includes Jefferson Dutton, Dave Ferguson, Mike Hanford, Tim Kalpakis, Matt Kowalick, Mike Mitchell and Chris VanArtsdalen—whose combined credits include “Parks and Recreation,” “The Office,” “Conan,” “Comedy Bang! Bang!,” and “Portlandia.”
Ben Stiller, Bob Odenkirk, Debbie Liebling, Stuart Cornfeld and Mike Rosenstein of Red Hour will executive produce with Abso Lutely producing the series for IFC. The series is written and co--directed by The Birthday Boys and Bob Odenkirk.
wow. sounds really good. thanks for posting or I probably would not have known...
shareSweet. Can't wait to see this. Hope it's more "Mr. Show" than "The Ben Stiller Show", but with Odenkirk involved it can't possibly suck. Nice addition for IFC.
