Jon Benjamin Has A Van. Not Sure If It's Down By The River.

This is certainly welcome news. Comedy Central has ordered a sketch comedy series from H. Jon Benjamin... excuse me, EMMY NOMINEE* H. Jon Benjamin (that's right, bitches, nominated for the funniest show on TV that you're not watching, Archer) called Jon Benjamin Has A Van that will premiere next summer. The show will see Benjamin travel in a van to do newsmagazine-style interviews (think Daily Show field pieces). Between the new animated Bob's Burgers midseason on Fox, the second season of Archer in early 2011, and now this Benjamin is officially all over the tube. And that's a very, very good thing.


*And yes, we realize the Emmys are a farce (for example, the just cancelled Flash Forward received three nominations which is more than the entire five season run of The Wire combined) but the fact remains that they gave Breaking Bad a chunk of noms, Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton of Friday Night Lights were both nominated (finally) for the first time, and fucking Archer got a nod. Credit where credit's due. But you still suck, Emmys.
