Hannibal Buress doesn’t think his Comedy Central show is coming back
In as affable a tone as he does pretty much everything—acting, telling jokes, bringing about the downfall of one of the comedy world’s most sacred cows—Hannibal Buress has suggested his Comedy Central series Why? With Hannibal Buress won’t be returning for a second season. Talking to The New York Post, Buress praised the show, but ultimately declared that its format—a hodgepodge of stand-up, pre-taped sketches, and man-on-the-street interviews—wasn’t a good fit for his low-key style. “If I had to guess, I probably wouldn’t be doing that again,” Buress said of the series, which ended its eight-episode run in August. “It was definitely some good moments, it definitely got better as the season flowed along, it got more comfortable. It wasn’t the ideal format for me.”
