Jon Benjamin has a new show on Comedy Central! It premiered last night but there is another new episode on tonight. That’s a weird way to do things, but that’s how this thing is being done. You may know Jon Benjamin as the voice of Archer on Archer, or Bob on Bob’s Burgers, or Coach McGurk on Home Movies. Or perhaps you remember him from Dr. Katz, where he played Dr. Katz’s son, Ben. It is kind of hilarious now to imagine Jon Benjamin playing someone’s son. I mean, whatever, he’s not that old, and lots of people have parents, almost everyone at some point, probably, but maybe you know what I am saying. Life changes. His new show is really weird. What is it? I don’t know. It’s a collection of sketches and man on the street pieces and stuff like that but all under the guise of an investigative news show except not really? It’s very confusing. But it is also very funny. Last night, I saw the premiere episode for a second time (pretty impressive of me) and I liked it even more the second time, which is unusual for comedy, because no more surprises. The point is, you should watch it. Maybe you will like it and maybe you will not like it, that is going to be for you to decide, but it’s certainly worth watching. I’ve put two clips after the jump to convince you. If you’re not convinced, I don’t know what to tell you. You’re tough! When people say “tough crowd,” you are probably in the crowd at that moment. Arms all folded. Why’s your face look so mad? And don’t just say “everyone says that but it’s just my face,” because it’s not just your face, something is going on there.
You Can’t Shoot Here
Cash Stall
Jon Benjamin Has a Van is on Comedy Central tonight at 10:30PM EST. Maybe you can tell me what it is! Everything needs to be something!

I’m not going to watch those clips till I get home from work, so I can’t speak to whether or not they’re funny, but I’ll tell you right now that you’ve been killing it lately, Gabe.
I was waiting for this post, and while I was waiting I might of pushed a few people into Mexico without their passport lol pranks
Cash Stall was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Like, I understand why people would freak out, but at the same time I don’t? If I was taking a shit and all of a sudden Archer just started talking to me I would freak out in the best way possible. My interaction would go something like this:
Me: “Jon!”
Jon: “….”
Me: “JON!”
Jon: “WHAT!”
Me: “Danger zooooone!”
I feel like making $100 while on a toilet should be the American dream
Where is the internet petition to start a H. Jon Benjamin Videogum Promise? Cause I want to sign that thing.
Also, Baby Pranks: never forget.
Actually, what happened to the H?
Sometimes the H is there, sometimes it isn’t
I think he drops it when he’s doing his “Spaniard” voice
I still firmly believe Dr. Katz is the greatest show in TV history.
And Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil, is one of the most underrated.

And I firmly agree with you. Love that show and am a proud owner of the every episode on DVD and VHS, which stands for Video Hearing System.
He has the most piercing blue eyes. Yes homo.
I was watching an ESPN 30 for 30 about that great 2004 ALCS and they interviewed Curt Schilling and Curt had the BLUEST FUCKING EYES EVER. It was to the point that they seemed weird, unnatural, alien even, like he’s not a member of the human species. It would certainly explain why he only needed one foot to beat the Yankees.
I got to meet Crispin Glover one time, and his eyes were unnatural-looking like that. I mean, I could tell they were very blue when I saw him in movies, but when he raised his head and looked at me with them in person I couldn’t breathe for a second. That also could have been because I was so super excited that Crispin Glover was looking at me though.
Willard?
Also George McFly & so much more. He has books and a very weird album which includes his amazing cover of These Boots Are Made For Walkin’
I made a tshirt to commemorate our meeting, I’m going to try to embed it but I’ve never done it before so apologies in advance if it doesn’t work!

Oops, I messed that up. Here’s the link to it:
Ohhh, I get it now. Sorry for the bloopers, you guys!
I loved it when Benjamin introduced a segment then ducked and screamed as the footage spun in from the background to fill the screen. NICE SCARF!
Jon Benjamin has a Van? More like Jon Benjamin has a…umm… Wait. I had something for this.
Jon Benjamin has a Mancy.
I am so glad we’re on board for this. I almost injured my vocals cords by screaming with excitement.
I had the biggest crush on Ben Katz when I was a little kid. Which, honestly, might begin to explain why I date so many losers.
I had a crush on Ben Katz too! Jon Benjamin has such a soothing and dreamy voice, I don’t see how any of us could *not* have a crush on Ben Katz.
I had a dream about Jon Benjamin last night. It was very weird. It was like I was on the show with him but there was also something vaguely romantic about it? Like maybe things will go well and we’ll kiss? But it felt really genuine! Like he really liked me and it wasn’t just for the cameras.
Whatever I ate before bed I need to not eat ever.
Or you need to always eat it always!
Goofballs + Funnybones = Slam Dunk
I love that guy, he’s so funny. Someone ask him if he could ever like a girl who is drunk and high.
You guys. This post and googling just made me realize that Ben Katz is the same voice as the Master on Venture Brothers. MIND. BLOWN.
I think its like that new genre that sarah palin’s bus tour round places she is completely ignorant was in that I don’t understand what genre that is.
I was kind of hoping/half expecting that Jon Benjamin would look like this:
oops! That image above is almost comically oversized. INTERNET! Do I need to say “shakes fist” here? Cause, obviously, fist shakes.
You were hoping he would look like Anthony Weiner?
I feel like I should try to put some ironic distance between myself and this comment but I am sticking by it.
