Earwolf Makes A Few Internet Lists
The end of the year brought a few internet lists and the podcasts managed to get in on the fun. Check-out the Splitsider Year in Podcasts recap, The A.V. Club Podmass 2011 Best Podcast List and tech writer Paul M. Davis’ Top Podcast list and thoughts on the state of podcasting. Thanks to all the great contributors who included some of our Earwolf shows in their year-end lists. The credit goes to our great crew and all the amazing hosts and guests that come in every week to create great new comedy for the fans.
And a special thanks to all the fans and listeners for supporting Earwolf and its shows. Looking forward to another fun year of new comedy.

You guys! It’s 2012! How is that even possible? There is a chance that one of the podcasts I’m going to mention will be the first podcast you listen to in 2012. Thus, it is with great pride that I present the following to you.
Comedy Bang! Bang! starts the year off right with two audience favorites: Andy Richter and Werner Herzog (we tried to get Paul F. Tompkins but he was unavailable).
Have you already started cheating on your New Year’s Resolutions? Then I guess this week’s Professor Blastoff about cheating is perfect for you!
Remember how a few days ago you counted down the seconds until midnight? Well now you’ll be counting down the seconds until Twilight…an episode of How Did This Get Made? about Twilight with Doug Benson, that is. Yes, these are only going to get more awkward and ham-fisted. Moving on.
Coming in at #1 on the “Best Episodes of Who Charted? of 2012,” the winner by a long shot: THIS WEEK’S EPISODE WITH DAVID WAIN! Granted, it is the only episode eligible.
This year’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve featured Ryan Seacrest, Jenny McCarthy, and Lady Gaga. this week’s improv4humans features Curtis Gwinn, Sean Conroy and Brett Gelman!
Should old acquaintance be forgotten? Not if that acquaintance is Laraine Newman, who is finishing out the week on Sklarbro Country! So let’s pop some champagne, make out with a stranger, and have the best Earwolf New Year’s Week ever!
Comments OffWatch More TV: January 2-8
Renew your resolution to watch some funny television, because we’re kicking off 2012 with a bang. Sure, some of our favorite shows are still on their mid-season hiatus, but there’s still plenty of comedy to go around. Here are three Earwolf bros who always makes us smile.
Myq Kaplan
Myq Kaplan has been on five different Earwolf shows, making him an Earwolf MVP. He last entered our ear holes with an appearance on Ep. 53 of Who Charted? Video game enthusiasts will want to make sure they listen to the exclusive bonus chart to hear some Skyrim dirty talk. You can also see Kaplan on tonight’s Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
Monday, Jan. 2: Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (CBS)
Fred Armisen
A new season of his IFC show Portlandia starts at 10 p.m. this Friday, and, of course, you can catch him on NBC’s Saturday Night Live as well. Fred Armisen will drop by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday to promote his many endeavors, and to prepare, you can revisit Ep. 68 of Comedy Bang! Bang!, a live episode from Los Angeles.
Thursday, Jan. 5: Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (NBC)
Chris Gethard
Chris Gethard is a New York comedian with a loyal fanbase and a long resume. He’s starred on a Comedy Central sitcom, written for Saturday Night Live and currently hosts a popular public access show. Gethard was a guest on Ep. 41 of The Wolf Den, and he will also be a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this Friday.
