The network’s fall offerings begin in August this year with the Tuesday, August 26th premiere of Tosh.0, which will lead into the season premiere of Adam Devine’s House Party beginning September 9th. The latter will get only one airing behind the hit topical series before moving to its regular time slot Thursday, September 11th at 12:30 a.m. Devine’s departure of the time slot will allow Daniel Tosh’s other Comedy Central project, animated comedy Brickleberry, to debut its third season Tuesday, September 16th at 10:30; meanwhile, Comedy Central Wednesdays take shape September 24th with the season premieres of South Park at 10:00 and Key & Peele at 10:30.

Comedy Central will get another late night series to join Adam Devine’s House Party in Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution, which premieres its third season Friday, October 3rd at midnight. The season is set to feature performances by the likes of Kabir Singh, Lance Patrick, Mark Viera, Barry Brewer, and Shaun Latham.

The network recently renewed Drunk History and Nathan For You after picking up new seasons of Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer, Kroll Show, Review, and Trip Tank earlier this year.

Based on the Funny or Die web series of the same name by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner, Drunk History uses an inebriated narrator to recount an event in American history, with actors enacting the anecdote by lip syncing any dialog. Season two have featured the likes of Lisa Bonet, Laura Dern, and Adrianne Palicki, with retellings ranging from Edgar Allen Poe’s feud with Rufus Griswold to the birth of rock and roll and Allen Pinkerton’s Lincoln assignment.

Docu-reality series Nathan For You finds comedian Nathan Fielder playing an off-kilter version of himself that uses his business background to help struggling companies. Season two of the critically acclaimed series has taken Fielder to a Hollywood souvenir shop, a struggling auto mechanic, and a liquor store.

Comedy Central has had a strong 2014 thus far, as Broad City, Key & Peele, Inside Amy Schumer, Kroll Show, Review, and Trip Tank have all been renewed. At San Diego Comic-Con, the network revealed the trailer for Moonbeam City, an upcoming animated comedy starring Rob Lowe as an undercover detective who commits more crimes than the criminals he’s chasing.

Drunk History airs Tuesdays at 10:00 on Comedy Central, with Nathan For You following at 10:30.

The network will be streaming the show across CC.com, mobile devices, tablets, and the CC:Stand-Up app available on Xbox 360 – no subscription required. The Xbox app will even be unlocked for the event, for all users.

The livestream will air along with the east coast broadcast of the roast,  meaning that west coast audiences will be able to enjoy the show three hours prior to the scheduled premiere in their time zone.

Such a simulcast could potentially cannibalize on-air ratings, but at the same time poses an opportunity for some serious social media domination, as cable-less fans can still access the special and join the conversation.  The encore presentation of the “Roast of James Franco” will also feature social media, with real-time tweets and posts from Facebook on screen.

No doubt, if Comedy Central’s livestream is successful – and I have a feeling it will be – we could see future similar events by more networks.

Comedy Central Roast of James Franco airs September 2nd, at 10 PM ET/PT.  There will also be a pre-show on the red-carpet hosted by Franco’s own grandmother, Mitzie Verne, and comedian Jonah Ray.
