Gabriel Iglesias: What's in a stand-up special name?
9 November 2009 8:26 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Comedian Gabriel Iglesias had his third Comedy Central stand-up special last night, titled "I'm Not Fat…I'm Fluffy." It's part of his trademark bit about "levels of fatness." I can't help but notice: What is up with the names of stand-up specials? Recent installments include: "Greg Behrendt: That Guy From That Thing," "Jon Reep: Metro Jethro," "Nick Swardson: Seriously, Who Farted?", which is incredibly classy. There are ones that have "funny" in the actual title -- "John Heffron: Middle Class Funny," "Adam Ferrara: Funny as Hell" -- and ones that rely on the beloved comedy school »

Comedy Central Orders Nick Swardson Sketch Show
4 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Comedy Central seems to be pretty hungry for comedian-run sketch shows lately. They recently premiered the pilot of The Jeff Dunham Show to lukewarm reception, and another show starring Gabriel Iglesias and Bill Engvall is on the way. Earlier this week, yet another show was announced, in the form of a pilot for a show starring comedian Nick Swardson.
Swardson has made his way around the stand up circuit for years now, but most people will remember him from his supporting roles in Grandma’s Boy, Benchwarmers, and You Don’t Mess With The Zohan (he must be liked by the Sandler camp).
The network is apparently more than happy to add Swardson’s creativity to the growing camp of Comedy Central’s original programming. From The Hollywood Reporter:
“We love Nick at Comedy Central and even more importantly, our audience loves Nick,” said Comedy Central programming president Lauren Corrao. »

Nick Swardson – Seriously, Who Farted? Win Yours Here
30 October 2009 9:35 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Coinciding brilliantly with the recent announcement that Nick Swardson is getting his own show on Comedy Central, his DVD is available with over 15 minutes of unseen footage, and several bonus features. You may know him as Terry from Reno 911!, or from several efforts in the movies and a lot of Comedy Central coverage, and now you have a chance to take home the special - Nick Swardson Seriously, Who Farted? Nick started stand up at the age of 18. In his first year of stand up he was chosen to perform at the U.S. Comedy Arts festival. In 2000, he hit a milestone in his career when he taped his Comedy Central half-hour special at the age of 22 (the youngest to do so). More recently, Nick wrote and starred in the Happy Madison-produced films Grandma's Boy and Benchwarmers.

Swardson scores sketch series
29 October 2009 4:30 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
The man might have terrible taste in comedy special titles, but it's helped him score on his own little corner of the TV dial.
Comedian Nick Swardson has scored his own sketch comedy series on Comedy Central. The show will hit the air next year and feature a lot of digital shorts and animation, some of which will be based on almost Python-esque "Gay Robot" character. Swardson and Adam Sandler actually shot a pilot for his "Gay Robot" character years ago and thanks to the magic of YouTube, you can also enjoy it. Warning: if you're easily offended by jokes of a sexual nature, please get over yourself and grow a sense of humor before watching it.

Swardson Showcase
29 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Nick Swardson, who was best known as Reno 911's recurring character Terry Bernardino (the rollerskating homosexual prostitute), just inked another deal with Comedy Central, this time for his own as-yet-untitled sketch series. I hope Swardson didn't think he could revolutionize the puppet-fronted minstrel show market. But really, what other ideas are there? So far, I can only come up with marionette-fronted blackface. That will have to do. To the copyright office, Jeeves. [Comedy Central] »

"I'm very excited to be working with Comedy Central," said Swardson. "They are great people who understand me creatively. »

[DVD Review] Nick Swardson: Seriously, Who Farted?
17 October 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Stand-up comedy, how unfunny you can be sometimes. You’re not like a TV show or movie where maybe a different funny character will come along if we don’t like the first one, and you’re not short like a skit or a sketch, and you really don’t sing or dance at all much, do you? No, you’re pretty much like an old, obsolete toy. Which means you can either be really pure and fantastic, or just outdated, sad, and desperate for love. Nick Swardson’s stand up, you fit into that second category.
Mostly known for his role as roller-skating prostitute Terry on Reno911!, Swardson might trick you into buying this DVD because of how funny he is on that show, performing Hj’s on the highway with friendly abandon. But make no mistake, in his stand-up routine, Swardson comes strictly from the perspective of the Hj’d. »

Fat Guys at the Movies Ep. 136 – Where the Fat Things Are
16 October 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
On This Week's Show: Neil stuns the interwebs by once again seeing none of the new movies this week, but Kevin swoops in to save the day with his reviews of Where the Wild Things Are and Law Abiding Citizen. However, due to the fact that Screen Gems releases total crap, neither of them were afforded a chance to see The Stepfather, but that doesn't stop the Fat Guys from offering their opinions. And speaking of opinions, in honor of Where the Wild Things Are, Kevin and Neil throw down a Fat Guy Five about great adaptations of children's books before Neil makes a relatively creepy revelation about himself at the climax of the show.

Seriously, Who Farted ... seriously?!?
9 October 2009 7:30 AM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
Comedian man-child Nick Swardson has a new comedy special premiering this week called Seriously, Who Farted? I smell a Kennedy Center Honor (sniff, or is that a People's Choice Award?).
Now normally, I do like to literally judge something by its cover, but it's hard not to with a title like Seriously, Who Farted?. A title like that could be either the greatest or absolutely worst of anything of all time, whether it's a comedy special, video game, or brand of cereal. If it's a brand of cereal, then it would most likely be the worst.
So I asks ya...

Nick Swardson: "My Ass is the Best Joke Teller I Know"
8 October 2009 12:16 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Chances are you've seen Nick Swardson before, and he's made you laugh and perhaps made you feel a little uneasy. The actor, comedian and writer is arguably best known for his roles as prostitute on wheels in "Reno 911!," as a man-boy attracted to old ladies in "Grandma's Boy," and as a stalker in the Will Ferrell figure skating comedy "Blades of Glory." But there's more to Swardson than hilariously disturbing roles. He released a successful comedy CD a few years back called "Party," and later this month will release another with an accompanying DVD. The CD comes with perhaps the best album title ever: "Seriously, Who Farted?" I got down to that hard-hitting question and more when I spoke with Swardson earlier this week. How did the CD combo come about? Chuck Norris made me do it. »

Comedy Central Debuts Nick Swardson's 'Seriously, Who Farted' Show
30 September 2009 7:05 AM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
Comedy Central viewers can watch the first one hour special stand up show "Nick Swardson: Seriously, Who Farted?" on October 11th at 10pm Et/Pt. The world television premiere is an original Comedy Central special that lets Swardson loose as he shares a unique stage experience. In the special Swardson explains how he lost all his money in Vegas to a spider monkey and his take on movie trailers. In addition to this he addresses topics such as figure skating, ninjas, confusing suicide attempts and cocky drunk girls.
Swardson is known now as a triple threat in the comedy world for being not only a comedian but an actor and a writer/producer. Swardson caught the attention of Happy Madison Productions and started writing and producing such projects as "Grandma's Boy", "Benchwarmers" and co-producing "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" with Adam Sandler and Kevin James.

Tarantino and Roth Go ‘Artist on Artist’
20 August 2009 3:45 PM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Though Myspace has become mostly superfluous in the days of Facebook and Twitter, they still have some cool video projects such as Zach Galfiniaikis’ Between Two Ferns and their series Artist on Artist in which an artist in a particular field gets to jam with another. For the most part, the two artists are linked by their most recent project, like Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller, or Adam Sandler and Nick Swardson. With Inglourious Basterds, hitting theaters tomorrow, Director Quentin Tarantino got to sit down with his unofficial protègè Eli Roth.
They inevitably go back to their favorite subject of themselves after a few minutes and a few glasses of wine, but it’s still interesting to see the two gossip about the production of the film, Pitt’s super-stardom, and more. For all the fun, check out the video after the jump.

Reno 911!: Comedy Central Pulls the Plug on Cops Series
14 August 2009 3:53 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
After six seasons, Comedy Central has cancelled their mockumentary series, Reno 911!.
The satirical program is based on Fox's Cops reality show that follows real police officers as they capture criminals on urban streets. Reno 911! follows the members of a fictitious police department in Reno, Nevada. Filled with lots of politically-incorrect humor, much of the episodes are improvised.
The ensemble cast includes Cedric Yarbrough, Niecy Nash, Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, Kerri Kenney, Carlos Alazraqui, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Mary Birdsong, Nick Swardson, Toby Huss, and Jim Rash.
The show has been a staple of the Comedy Central cable channel since 2003. It was so successful that it spawned a feature film, Reno 911: Miami, in 2007. The movie didn't break any box office records but later earned over $16 million in DVD sales and led to a second, extra-unrated, release. »

28 April 2009 7:30 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Don Johnson has joined the upcoming Adam Sandler-written comedy "Born to Be a Star" as a mustachioed porn director. Tom Brady (The Hot Chick) is helming the film. Nick Swardson is starring as a small-town nerd who learns his quiet and demure parents were famous porn stars in the 1970s. This motivates him to leave northern Iowa for Hollywood, hoping to follow in their footsteps and fulfill his destiny as the biggest adult-film star in the world. Johnson plays a down-on-his-luck director who discovers Swardson and gives him a shot. The cast also includes Christina Ricci as Swardson's innocent girlfriend and Stephen Dorff as adult film star Dick Shadow, as well as Edward Herrmann and Tyler Spindel. »
