Comedy Central Gives Second Season to Workaholics

NEW YORK: Comedy Central has picked up a second season of Workaholics, with ten new episodes planned for the series.

The show comes from Mail Order Comedy’s Blake Anderson, Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck. The show premiered on April 6 and has averaged 1.2 million total viewers across its first four episodes.

Workaholics features three friends who work together as telemarketers, as well as live together. They worry about dress codes, deadlines and waking up on time, and typically don’t know what day it is.

Kent Alterman, the head of original programming and production for Comedy Central, said: "It’s not only gratifying to know the audience for Workaholics has grown week-by-week, but also rewarding to see how the show is changing the way people live and work. Pretty soon, our national productivity will be so low, we will all have more leisure time."

"Our parents think it’s ‘very tight butthole’ that they don’t have to pay our rent any longer," said Anderson, Devine, Holm and Newacheck. "We couldn’t agree more. Thanks Papa Alterman!"
