CollegeHumor has recently had its eyes on TV, and one of the comedy site’s current small screen projects is about to arrive. On the CollegeHumor YouTube channel, which has nearly ten million subscribers, a trailer for the upcoming Comedy Music Hall of Fame special is now live.
Comedy Music Hall of Fame, which will come to the IFC’s linear TV channel and the CollegeHumor website on Friday, June 19th. Comedian Paul F. Tompkins will host a celebration of musical comedy, and a wide variety of guests–such as Tenacious D, CDZA, and Epic Rap Battles of History–will join in on the fun. The event will honor the first inductee into the titular Hall: “Weird Al” Yankovic, who will appear on the show and, if the trailer is any indication, yell a lot.

And who wouldn’t like being associated with a Hall of Fame?”
