“The Gorburger Show” Canned By Comedy Central

This is odd.

Comedy Central is continuing its tear on canceling great shows. Legends of Chamberlain Heights, Jeff & Some Aliensand now TJ Miller’s The Gorburger Show have all been put on the chopping block leaving just South Park as the lone animated series for the network in 2018.  Read our review of the show’s only Comedy Central season here.

Joining a long line of Comedy Central series to migrate from short-form origins (“Drunk History,” “Broad City,” “Workaholics,” et al.), the former Funny or Die digital program “The Gorburger Show” features the talents of actor/comic T.J. Miller as the voice and puppeteer of a giant blue extraterrestrial. After a heavy-handed invasion and takeover of a Japanese television talk/variety show, the monster alien settles in as the host in an effort to understand what it means to be human. The show includes celebrity interviews, musical guests, strange games and other random, off-the-wall happenings.
