Comedy Central Picks Up Third Season of THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW

Deadline reports that Comedy Central and Jim Jefferies have signed a first-look deal for television and digital media content. It includes a pick-up of late night series THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW for a third season.

The Jim Jefferies Show is a weekly, topical, late night series featuring the Australian comedian's unapologetic, honest and international approach to culture and politics. Jefferies tackles the week's top stories from behind the desk and travels the globe to far-off locations to provide unique looks at hypocrisy around the world.

"We love Jim's unfiltered, insightful, hilarious and global comedic perspective on the insane world we're living in right now," said a statement from executive producers Babineau and Larsen. "We are excited for him to continue to connect with our audience through THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW and other future projects that we develop together."

Jefferies cheekily noted how he loves "my unfiltered, insightful, hilarious and global comedic perspective on the insane world we're living in right now. I am excited for me to continue to connect with my audience through THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW and other future projects that I develop together."

The late-night host will travel to South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia and South AFRICA to film over a dozen segments for this season. THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW will premiere on Tuesday, March 19 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.
