Comedy Central to supplement reruns of The Office with reruns of Seinfeld
Comedy Central is once again happy to take NBC’s lucrative leftovers
It’s hard to believe that the 2010s were something of a renaissance for original programming at Comedy Central. Key & Peele, Inside Amy Schumer, and Kroll Show became sketch comedy powerhouses as Nathan For You and Review blurred the lines between mockumentaries and reality TV. The network even found time to launch original sitcoms, like Broad City and Workaholics that grew beyond their cult followings.
Today though, Comedy Central, is playing second fiddle to its corporate overlords, who are doing everything they can to get people to watch Paramount+. This means South Park fans will have to use their parents’ Paramount+ accounts to watch those 12 original movies, which sound a bit like those Star Wars and Marvel Simpsons specials that definitely don’t exist after their premiere dates. So, as Comedy Central settles into its current state as a repository for Office and South Park reruns, they now have another show to air on weekday afternoons: Seinfeld.
