Comedy Bang! Bang! is a television series created and hosted by Scott Aukerman, featuring his co-host/bandleader "Weird Al" Yankovic. The show aired weekly on IFC and Much and is a spin-off of Aukerman's podcast Comedy Bang! Bang! which airs on the Earwolf network. Like the podcast, the series features outlandish and farcical humor, often delivered in a deadpan manner. The mock talk show derives most of its comedy from its surreal spoofs of common late night tropes as well as from the characters' own cartoonish inability to conduct said talk show.
Reggie Watts left Comedy Bang! Bang! halfway through the fourth season to become the bandleader for The Late Late Show with James Corden. Musician Kid Cudi took over bandleader and sidekick duties after Watts' departure. The season four finale aired on December 10, 2015 and was Cudi's final episode. The series was renewed for a 20-episode fifth season on May 5, 2015."Weird Al" Yankovic took over the position of bandleader for the fifth season, which premiered on June 3, 2016.
On August 18, 2016, Aukerman announced that the series would end after season 5, and the finale aired on December 2, 2016.
The show features celebrity guests playing either themselves or characters. Many of these celebrities were previous guests on the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast and revisit characters such as Don Dimello (Andy Daly), El Chupacabra (Nick Kroll), Bob Ducca (Seth Morris), Lil' Gary (Thomas Lennon), Huell Howser (James Adomian) and Cake Boss (Paul F. Tompkins). Many frequent collaborators include former Mr. Show with Bob and David cast members such as Paul F. Tompkins, Bob Odenkirk, and David Cross.
