"Pete Holmes: Nice Try, The Devil" - Comedy Central Original Stand-Up World Premiere

11:00 p.m. - Midnight

In his first hour-long special on COMEDY CENTRAL, comedian and podcast host (Nerdist Industries' "You Made It Weird") Pete Holmes perfects his signature silliness and really gets into that time Juan won one. While he may look like a youth pastor, he's as comfortable talking about religion as he is secretly hating his girlfriend's friends and being a straight man who is "100% gay for Ryan Gosling." Trust us, this special is McDonald's.
