On February 11, Demetri Martin launched potentially the most important TV show ever of all time, "Important Things with Demetri Martin," a sketch comedy series created by, executived produced by and starring stand-up comedian, Emmy®-losing writer and all-around person, Demetri Martin. Exploring one "important thing" per episode (like Power, Safety or Chairs), Martin mixes stand-up comedy, sketches, animation, studio bits, and music. Demetri's jokes, drawings and hair played major roles in the series which featured celebrity cameos by David Cross, Amanda Peet, and Martin's "Daily Show" colleague John Oliver.
"Important Things with Demetri Martin" was the second series pick-up under COMEDY CENTRAL's first-look agreement with Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions, Inc. The show was produced by Busboy in association with One Verse, Inc. and was executive produced by Stewart and Martin. Rich Korson and Chris McShane were the executives in charge of production for Busboy. Dan Powell was the executive in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
