The Chris Gethard Show: Public Access

The Chris Gethard Show is, according to its website, “the most bizarre and often saddest talk show in New York City.” After starting off as a live show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York, the show moved to cable access on June 22, 2011. It is a call-in and variety show hosted by Chris Gethard that airs every Wednesday night at 11:00PM on MNN and on a live stream at the show’s website. The Public access television show is written and produced by Noah Forman, Dru Johnston, J.D. Amato and Chris Gethard. It is directed by J.D. Amato. The show, known for its "no cool kids" atmosphere, has been called "oddly uplifting", a "cult hit," "an often riveting experiment in seat-of-your-pants broadcasting," and has gained viewers from around the world.

Episode 1The First Episode60 min
The first episode was a rocky episode. The beginning of a very wild ride.
Episode 2The Episode Where Everything Started60 min
The second episode. After being shut out of having any prep time, we just took calls - and realized that calls could be the basis for the whole show and we were way over thinking things.
Episode 3The Third Episode Episode60 min
Shirtless Fanelli. A pre-presidential run and very visibly uncomfortable Connor Ratliff. Our first show in the small studio.
Episode 4The Tazapper Episode60 min
The first appearances of Anthony Atamaniuk and Horatio Sanz. I gotta tell you, I thought this public access experiment had crashed and burned, and Horatio showed up last minute with no warning.
Episode 5The Wiffle Bat Gang Episode60 min
The Wiffle Bat gang makes their debut - our first truly violent in an unexpected and way too much fashion experiment.
