Comedy Central Greenlights Trio of Shows

NEW YORK: Three new series, featuring comedians Anthony Jeselnik, Amy Schumer and Ben Hoffman, have been added to Comedy Central’s 2013 lineup.

Jeselnik will front a weekly topical series, while Schumer’s show will feature sketch comedy. Hoffman will lead The Ben Show, a sketch/man-on-the-street hybrid.

“These three shows have one thing in common, and I dare viewers to watch every single episode to find out what it is,” said Kent Alterman, the head of original production at Comedy Central.
