Presents debuts on Comedy Central

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 11th, 2008

Tonight, they kick off Comedy Central Presents at 10 PM EST with Dan Cummins and Stephen Lynch.

The press release mentions some of the rest of the acts that will be featured on this season’s CCP, but then they just use “and many more” instead of listing all of the comedians. Would it have killed them to list all of them?

And forget about trying to find the names on the broadband headache that is comedycentral.com! (We get the Comedy Central press releases in our inbox, but we confess that we usually delete them immediately. Perhaps we have learned our lesson… or perhaps they wouldn’t have listed all the comedians on the press release, either!)

From our posting in August on the taping of the series in NYC, comes the following list. Perhaps it is indicative of who ends up on this season’s …Presents.

Jo Koy
Jay Oakerson
Chad Daniels
Robert Kelly
Leo Allen

We took the liberty of extracting Cummins and Lynch.
