Why? With Hannibal Buress was a late-night talk show that aired on Comedy Central for one season in 2015. Hosted by comedian Hannibal Buress, the show featured a mix of stand-up comedy, sketches, interviews, and music performances. Each episode began with Buress delivering a monologue that touched on current events, pop culture, and his personal life. His laid-back and conversational style made the audience feel like they were hanging out with a friend, rather than watching a traditional talk show.

One of the standout segments of the show was called "The Handsomeness Challenge," in which Buress would bring in a panel of women to rate his level of attractiveness. The humorous and self-deprecating bit became a fan favorite and even spawned a spinoff web series.

Another memorable aspect of the show was the musical performances. The show's house band was none other than electronic music producer Flying Lotus, who also served as the show's executive producer. Guest performers included established acts like Chance the Rapper, as well as up-and-coming artists like Princess Nokia.

In addition to musical performances, Why? With Hannibal Buress also featured interviews with a diverse range of guests. From fellow comedians like Eric Andre and Amy Schumer to public figures like former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the show's guests always offered a unique perspective on the world.

The sketches on the show were hit or miss, but when they hit, they were hilarious. One recurring sketch featured Buress as a history teacher who makes his students reenact historical events in absurd ways. Another sketch had Buress and a guest attempting to guess the prices of bizarre items found on Etsy.

Overall, Why? With Hannibal Buress was a refreshing take on the late-night talk show format. Buress's humor and laid-back personality made for an enjoyable viewing experience, and the show's mix of comedy, music, and interviews kept things interesting. While the show only lasted one season, it left a lasting impact on fans of alternative comedy.

Why? With Hannibal Buress is a series that ran for 1 seasons (8 episodes) between July 8, 2015 and on Comedy Central
