Comedy Central

Comedy Central is an American basic cable channel devoted to comedy programming. The result of a merger between two other basic cable networks, The Comedy Channel and Ha!, the network's rise in popularity coincided with the emerging television careers of Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla, who co-hosted the popular series The Man Show from 1999 to 2003. The network was also the home of other Kimmel-Carolla collaborations, such as Crank Yankers (2002-2007) and the made-for-TV movie Windy City Heat (2003). It hosted Carolla's short-lived late night talk show Too Late with Adam Carolla (2005).
