Michael Ian Black

Happy Saturday, junkies!  If you haven't already read our weekend preview, you might have missed that Comedy Central ran episodes of both "The State" and "Stella" in the wee hours of the morning.  They likely didn't run this: an NSFW short written and driected by, and starring David Wain, Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter - a.k.a. Stella. 

It's my favorite of the "Stella Shorts," which preceded the Comedy Central show (a show which had Star Wars-level production value by comparison).  Look for Moon and Iron Man 2's Sam Rockwell as a pizza delivery guy.  With music by John Cougar Mellencamp.

Network: Comedy Central

Cast: David Wain, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter

Synopsis: The official synopsis reads: A sketch comedy show that follows the absurd adventures of Michael, Michael and David.  But that doesn't do this show justice.  It only lasted a season, but is available on DVD and we strongly recommend you pick it up, especially Disc 1, which includes, "Office Party," possibly my favorite 22 minutes of Prime Time TV EVER.

Status: Cancelled
