Glitter in the Garbage has been a year long bash, but before we go to the after party let's load up on drinks, grab a bunch of crazy assholes, invite all our friends and have the podcast equivalent of fireworks at midnight! Drew, Sam, Jordan, Colleen, Marc, and Ron pull out all the stops so that you'll have a Glitter in the Garbage hangover that'll last through the new year. Thank you all for listening!

Since our last episode with Patton Oswalt was so rudely interrupted, we have asked him back on to discuss his upcoming special, Finest Hour. Unfortunately, in true Comedy Bang Bang fashion we receive an unexpected visit from a stranger so strange I can't even begin to describe who he is, what he does, or how he got to the studio. Our apologies to Patton Oswalt purists: We promise (but cannot guarantee) to have him back soon on a far less gassy episode.

When you have your own talk show on IFC, you can get some pretty huge guests from the world of entertainment. This week Scott shows off his showbiz credentials with former Monk writer Tom Scharpling, gay marriage advocate Gary Marshall, and future 'Best Book' nominee 'Weird Al' Yankovic! If you want to know what it was like to write for Your Show of Shows, or how to behave during a Costco book signing, this is a show to which you should pay careful attention. Scott once again rolls out a new feature with 'Who Said It?' but in proper tradition follows it up with a rather rousing round of 'Would You Rather?' Like 'Weird Al' always says: What's Up Hot Dog!

It looks like Scott Achingman has stumbled upon the Werewolf Studios once more to find himself inside of Suicide House with none other than the dreadful Beuford and Messmore le Barron. After some catching up, they are joined by Caine Sherman of the Historical Society to tour Suicide House and figure out if it deserves to have historical status. However, the tour is interrupted by Beuford & Messmore’s father Maximilian Blanc who reveals the many others trapped within the many doors of Suicide House. Will Suicide House get historical status? Will Ghost Boy make an appearance? Will we break a record with the Freestyle Rap Contest? You’ll have to listen to Comedy Fang Fang to find out!

While Scott always gets interesting guests on the show, Comedy Bang Bang gets its first television mega-star in the Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro. He, along with David Higgins, wait patiently for Dave Foley to show up (spoiler alert: he doesn't) by talking about David's career, how Buddy got into cakes, and playing the first ever game of Fortunately, Unfortunately.

Isn't it great in life when you get unexpected surprises? Like the surprise of a 2-hour episode, or the surprise of Hasty Pudding Theatrical's Man of the Year Ben Stiller? How about of Jeff Garlin from TV's Shorty McShorts Shorts? What would you say if rapper-turned-actor Ice T showed up? And how sweet would it be if Scott let an older gentleman whose dying wish is to do stand-up on the show? All of these things happen.

Announcer extraordinaire Andy Richter makes his record breaking 25th appearance and uses his co-hosting duties to get into the origins of Cake Boss (Cake Boss!) on today’s Comedy Bang Bang! We’ll hear about his earliest cake memory, he’ll reveal some secrets of the Cake Council, and we’ll find out what his next project will be as he goes on his forced cakebbatical. Plus, we’re treated to a real nail biting game of Would You Rather!

Academy Award winner Jim Rash joins Ronna & Beverly for a wonderful chat! Jim tells us about getting mistaken for Moby & Steven Soderbergh, his upcoming coming of age film The Way, Way Back, and offers listeners some life advice. Also, important questions regarding apps, animal hunting, and Reese Witherspoon are answered!

Fan favorite (well, at least this fan's favorite) Ben Schwartz makes his first appearance, and we're lucky he and Chip Pope were there. You see, public television host Huell Howser came in James Adomian's stead and boy did he have a lot of questions! Chip and Ben kept him informed, but confusion ensued when Chip left to get his friend R.O. Manse. Don't miss the premiere of Do They Know It's Christmas!

Dreams DO come true, nerds, and even the notorious grump Scott Aukerman has a heart sometimes. Why else would he let clearly obnoxious, secretly horny tween Marissa Wompler try her hand at being an intern. Unfortunately, sometimes your dreams will also get crushed, like when you hope and pray that Brendon Walsh will stop doing his Flavio character. Donald Glover just might be the only 100% charming part of this episode, but he's definitely not the only funny part.

You'd expect a show like Comedy Bang Bang to be able to get at least one popular movie star each episode, but TWO? That's unheard of! Until now that is, with Billy Crystal and James Gandolfini both showing up on this episode. While both of those dudes are pretty unfunny, Sarah Silverman and Howard Kremer keep the funny alive with great banter and some live songs from Dragon Boy Suede. The beloved Doug Loves Movies feature shows up on this episode as well, so there is really no reason not to catch it!

Adam Pally, Seth Morris, and Gil Ozeri join Matt Besser for a venture through the pussy mines on this week’s improv4humans! Along the way they make up names for gum, get better acquainted to living without technology, debate about proper egg cooking terms, and are approached by a vengeful Bob Dylan. Be sure to pick up an improv4humans shirt from the Earwolf Store and follow @MattBesser on Twitter to send in your improv suggestions. Music by Bobby Matthews and Dragoon.

What do you get when you cross a quark with a gluon? Honestly, we still don't even think those are real words. Baby genius turned adult genius/comedian David Relyea is educating us today on Quantum Physics and using a lot of words we've never heard before. Plus, Tig updates us on life off of the grid. Travel inside the hatch, and inside an atom or two, on Professor Blastoff!

If Santa asked ME what I wanted for Christmas, I'm sure Jon Hamm, Nick Kroll, James Adomian, and Paul F. Tompkins would be involved. Well, Scott answers this nerd's Christmas dreams with a commercial for Masculinidad, a peek into Jesse 'The Mind' Ventura's new show, and an acting-off between John C. Reilly and Jon Hamm. Of course, a special episode wouldn't be complete without a super-special guest, Weirdest Kulap Vilaysack!

Brendon Small is the genius behind the band Dethklok (who you might know better as Metalocalypse, but he would prefer that you didn't). Aziz Ansari is the genius behind Raaaaaaaandy from Judd Apatow's movie 'Funny People.' Stan Lee is the genius behind Spiderman. And while Captain Moustache isn't necessarily a genius, he does offer some funny stand-up!

Watch out! Everything around you could be an instrument of death! Guests Colton Dunn, Jeff Hiller, and Danielle Schneider join Matt Besser in this week's bonus episode, and perform two scenes inspired by fan-suggested YouTube videos. These ruthless improvisers will use household items, tiny peanut grenades, and cutthroat game show tactics to make you laugh! Don't forget to pick up an improv4humans shirt from the Earwolf Store and follow @MattBesser on Twitter to send in your improv suggestions. Music by Bobby Matthews and Dragoon.

This week we're giving you Comedy Bang Bang listeners a little treat: Two previously unreleased episodes with some behind-the-curtain commentary courtesy of Scott Aukerman. Today's episode features Seth Morris in the role he was born to play: Himself! We also meet a brand new character from first-time guest Ed Helms. If you like learning how the bread is made, come back on Thursday for another look inside the Comedy Bang Bang vault.

Patton Oswalt is back in the Comedy Bang Bang hot seat! Fortunately, he has a new movie coming out and he's ready to give us all sorts of exclusive information. Unfortunately, we still have our open door policy and a gentleman named Leslie Schecter finds his way into the studio. Fortunately, Patton was still game for Would You Rather? and Fortunately Unfortunately despite this rude interruption. Unfortunately, Leslie hangs around for the rest of the episode. Fortunately, you can forget all about his rudeness and relive your favorite Comedy Bang Bang moments by heading to the Earwolf blog and voting for the CBB Best of 2011.

Welcome to improv4humans! Join us this week as Jill Donnelly, Colton Dunn, and Sean Conroy travel to Australia, light shit on fire, and have fun with accents while desperately trying to remember each other's names.Follow @MattBesser to tweet your suggestions and find music like the stuff you heard here fromBobby MatthewsandDragoon.

Zack Snyder made a two hour music video called Sucker Punch and we're here to tell you why you shouldn't see it. Paul, Jason, June and Chelsea Peretti fought fate to watch this disaster and are attempting the impossible: Explaining what the hell it's about. Between the rape dancing, the comic book costumes, and the bizarre performance of Mr. Blue we can't guarantee you closure but we can guarantee you some laughs!

This episode is PURE class! The super classy Greg Proops talks a bit about his participation in the greatest film of all time. Then the captain of class, jazz musician Barry R. brings up the class level. They class about for a while until a very classy Would You Rather and classy Plugs.

Kyle talks about finally meeting Daniel Radcliffe (!!!), Tig talks about a recent romantic road trip, and David talks about his tired mammal partner on today’s Professor Blastoff! Then the crew dives into numbers with the help of listener Abe Kunin. He teaches math at the junior high level and comes from a long line of math professors but he’s never dealt with a class like this. They talk about the misleading use of statistics and how numbers can lie in sports, politics, and education. Also discussed is whether you can count your total number of farts in a year. No stone goes unturned on Professor Blastoff!

Stars- They're just like us! Bobby Moynihan from Saturday Night Live joins us this week and proves his comedy nerd cred with an impressive knowledge of SNL history that will embarrass even the nerdiest of listeners. Our old friend Ozzie Patinkin (no relation) of the Bakery for Dogs returns and tells us about dog treats, dog costumes, dog amputation, dog guns, and so on and so forth. Another old friend is back: Hollywood Facts! It joins Would You Rather? in this episode that defies reality and begs the question "How far would you go for a Plane Break?"

Yo, what up race cars and race debaters! Howard Kremer is in studio today to help us answer if a Farmers Market sign that reads "Wild Food For Urban People" is racist. We also discuss the use of the word urban in mainstream media. Ask us a question by calling 323-389-7223 just don't be racist about it.

Of course we all miss Mr. Show, but fortunately Scott recreates the magic by having on Mary Lynn Rajskub. She updates us on what has happened in her life since 1996, and that one show she's on. It's a number or something….ugh, do you guys know what I'm talking about? Ugh, well…Reggie Watts makes his first appearance which is one of the greatest things that has happened in the world. The only thing that could make the episode better: Rory Scovel! Oh, and one other thing, Scott Aukerman's new hit single Tangelo! And one more thing…oh wait, that's it. Scratch that.
