The Pete Holmes Show brings comic’s smart sensibility to TBS late night

October 24, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Pete Holmes isn’t just living the dream right now. As he puts it, he’s in the midst of a “1-for-1, 100 percent … grotesque overshot of a dream coming true.” The 34-year-old comic always harbored fantasies of becoming a late-night talk-show host, but didn’t tell too many people “because it was so specific a dream that I didn’t want it to get crushed or have everyone know that I went out for my driver’s license and failed.” But the seemingly impossible has come true, as Holmes — under the auspices of Conan O’Brien — is about to start hosting The […]

October 16, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Pete Holmes believes the key to comedy, for him anyway, lies in being real. He’s fond of a quote from fellow comic, the late Bill Hicks, who said, “If you can be yourself on stage nobody else can be you and you have the law of supply and demand covered.” So you won’t hear the 34-year-old comic telling fake stories about crazy cab rides or made-up relatives during his monologues on The Pete Holmes Show, which premieres Oct. 28 on TBS right after Conan. No, the affable funnyman prefers to be himself, and he brought that honesty when he answered […]

Nevertheless, she will be on hand as The View begins Season 17 Sept. 9 at 11am ET/PT on […]
