Anthony Jeselnik returns to Comedy Central with Good Talk interview show

The Hollywood Reporter

Comedy Central has ordered six episodes of Good Talk with Anthony Jeselnik, a half-hour weekly interview show premiering Sept. 6 where the comedian famous for his acerbic style sits down with a friend from the comedy world. His guests will include David Spade (whose own Comedy Central show debuts in July), Kristen Schaal, Kumail Nanjiani, Natasha Leggero, Nick Kroll and Tig Notaro. "In Good Talk, Jeselnik switches gears from his signature acerbic style for tongue-in-cheek interviews with his fellow comedians about their careers, influences and what it’s like to live in his massive shadow," says Comedy Central. "Jeselnik and his guests center their extremely funny conversations around stand up, stories and bits and participate in elegantly bizarre studio segments." Jeselnik's last Comedy Central show, The Jeselnik Offensive, was canceled after two seasons in 2013 due to low ratings. Good Talk stems from a multiplatform development deal Jeselnik signed with Comedy Central last September.
