Comedy Central's CORPORATE is Highest-Rated Basic Cable Prime Comedy Premiere in Key Demo

The January 17 premiere of CORPORATE is the highest-rated basic-cable prime comedy debut of the 2017-18 programming season*, and improved on Comedy Central's 2018 first-quarter prime average by 34% among Adults 18-49, 57% among Men 25-34, and 34% among all viewers. The scripted workplace series that Indiewire called "the first great comedy of 2018" and Variety called "deliciously dark and hilariously ruthless" airs Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.

Corporate stars series creators/writers/executive producers Matt Ingebretson and Jake Weisman as two Junior Executives-in-Training at Hampton DeVille, a heartless, corporate hell-hole led by tyrannical CEO Christian DeVille (Lance Reddick) and his top lieutenants, sycophants John and Kate (Adam Lustick and Anne Dudek). As Matt and Jake navigate an ever-revolving series of disasters their only ally is Grace (Aparna Nancherla), a Hampton DeVille HUMAN RESOURCES rep who is beleaguered by both her job and her exhausting relationship with the very needy Matt and Jake.

The ten-episode weekly series is executive produced, created and written by Ingebretson, Weisman, and Bishop, who also directs. Jake Fogelnest also serves as an executive producer with Nate Young as co-executive producer. Adam Londy and Ian Friedman are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.
