Just because Netflix is giving comedians all the freedom in the world to release their specials doesn't mean Comedy Central is waning in their comedic endeavors. Lewis Black's special is coming next month as well as Pete Davidson's and Kyle Kinane's. Kurt Braunohler, Roy Wood Jr., Joe DeRosa, and Mark Normand all get their time to shine next year. Black's "Black to the Future," premiering Friday, October 7 at 10:00 p.m., is doing a limited run at the Marquis Theatre in New York City. It's politics themed so viewers should expect presidential election type jokes. Kinane's "Loose in Chicago" comes on Friday, October 15 while Davidson's "DMB" debuts on Saturday, October 29.

Braunholer's "Trust Me" is aiming to continue the comedian's efforts to "[insert] absurdity into stranger’s lives to make the world a better place." DeRosa's "You Let Me Down" is shooting at the Masonic Lodge in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 13. Normand's special is being produced by Amy Schumer. Tentatively titled "Don't Be Yourself," it's also shooting this fall. And The Daily Show correspondent Wood is shooting "Father Figure" at Center Stage in Atlanta on Friday, October 14.

When I said Saturday Night Live was going to add another cast member, I didn't think it would be announced so soon.

The late night variety show has decided to give young Pete Davidson a chance as a featured player. Deadline reports that the 20 year old comic (yes, 20!) will be the only person hired this season. Mike O'Brien will return to the writer's room after becoming a featured player last season.

Davidson was handpicked by SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels. The final cast for SNL‘s 40th season includes Vanessa Bayer, Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Colin Jost, Taran Killam, Kate McKinnon, Bobby Moynihan, Kyle Mooney, Jay Pharoah, Cecily Strong, Kenan Thompson and Sasheer Zamata.
