Australian comedian Jim Jefferies takes a seat to share his brutally honest, thought-provoking comedy in his new Comedy Central series, THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW. The weekly, late night entry premieres on Tuesday, June 6 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, following an all-new episode of Tosh.0. The Jim Jefferies Show will take on culture and politics with an unapologetic, honest and international approach. Each week, Jefferies will tackle the week's top stories from behind his desk and travel the globe to far-off locations to provide an eye opening look at hypocrisy around the world. Featuring interviews, international field pieces, and man on the ground investigations, Jefferies will cover the most controversial issues, all through the lens of his distinctive brand of comedy.
Executive produced by Jefferies, Scott Zabielski, and Brillstein Entertainment Partners' Alex Murray and Tim Sarkes. Jason Reich is co-executive producer and head writer. Adam Londy and Monika Zielinska are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.
