A Few Minutes With... Ben Hoffman On 'The Ben Show With Ben Hoffman'
"I've never seen a show with this much ridiculous stuff mixed with this much realness," said comedian Ben Hoffman, speaking to BFTV Wednesday about his new Comedy Central series, appropriately titled The Ben Show with Ben Hoffman. "What you're seeing on the show is my real therapist, real dad, a girl that I dated. It's the most real show you've ever seen mixed with the most absurd show you've ever seen."
That's what distinguishes The Ben Show from other sketch-comedy programs: in between its hilarious segments, such as a rapper bringing "musical flair" to obituaries, audiences get a glimps...

Katy Perry Performs Touching Duet With Autistic Girl For Comedy Central's 'Night Of Too Many Stars'
Katy Perry performed a heart-warming duet of her hit "Firework" with 11-year-old Jodi DiPiazza, an autistic musical prodigy from Rochelle Park, New Jersey, during the taping for this year's "Night of Too Many Stars," which airs tonight at 8pm on Comedy Central.
