Comedy Bang Bang is a modern comedy institution. On the podcast version, Scott Aukerman hosts an interview show that is interrupted with games, characters, and off-the-cuff  shenanigans. On the IFC television show, Scott Aukerman and his band leader (first Reggie Watts, followed by Kid Cudi and Weird Al Yankovic) host a late night spoof that features outlandish plots behind the scenes of the late night show and interviews guests and characters. The humor of the show features recurring jokes and deadpan anti-humor.
