infoMania Returns Thursday, January 20th! New Host, New Look, Classic Laughs

Brett_Erlich
infoMania's 2011 New Year's resolution was to make things bigger, funnier, and Brett-ier. Starting Thursday, January 20th, we're making good on our goals.

Watch Brett Erlich, the new host of Current TV's half-hour comedy show, as he reintroduces the cast with all new segments, jokes, and web exclusives. Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi, and Sergio Cilli are all coming back to their weekly gig digging through a mess of mass media, ingesting every bit of the best and worst TV, music, movies and the internet so that you don't have to.

New year, new host, new set -- even a new desk! Watch infoMania on Thursdays at 11/10c on Current TV.

    • I kinda miss Ellen. Rotten Tomatoes was a great show but when they dropped it as a full show I was atleast glad they kept it around a bit longer. O well, Glad Brett is moving up in life and I hope Ellen is doing well too. I havent seen the full episode yet but I hope VVFS is at least still around.

    • OK, so the Rotten Tomatoes show gets canceled, becomes a segment on infoMania, but now Brett get to host the show in 2011?? I'm officially un-pissed that the RT show was "canned" (get it, Tomatoes, canned?) Anywho, congrats on the promotion, we wish Conor all the best in his future endeavors, yadayadayada

    • If you keep the We've Got You Covered sequence, either stop bleeping the word 'fuck' in the How the [Bleeped because you've obviously said 'fuck'] Is This a Magazine? File segment, or change the word to 'hell' which won't get bleeped. (Or change it to a phony sounding 'heck' like they do when they overdub cusswords in movies.)

      Better yet, go for the TV-MA rating and REALLY let loose!

      Just a thought.

    • You're seriously ditching Conor? Man, you're bringing me down. At least give him a little dinky bi-weekly appearance like Ellen has.

      I think Sergio should stage a walk-out. By himself, if need be.

    • Talk about good news/bad news...I thought Connor was great and I'm sad to see him go, but you couldn't ask for a better replacement than Brett. He's been sorely underused since RT got canned. It would be nice if there was a place for Ellen Fox in this mix...

    • I miss Sarah and Connor, but Brett, you earned this spot. G'job! C'mon, the guy has a way with the camera.

      But wait...what will happen to VVFS?! AND...Rotten Tomatoes? Wait...I'm suppose to find out when the new season premieres, huh?

    • Oh no. Is Conor mad that I stopped watching? I had finals! It's like every time I turn away something big happens.

      Oh well, the fact that I adore Brett has never been a secret. I feel like I've seen past shows where he's filled in as host? I'll just miss the... different dynamics. It had a great balance.

    • Yesss. Brett is hands down the most handsome cast member (beard or not!), very easy to relate to (doesn't seem stuck up like Connor) and most importantly, the majority of his jokes DON'T fall flat (like Connors), so I welcome this change.

    • I guess this means Viral Video Film School will no longer be in session. Bummer. But I wish you well.

      How is it Knighton departs but Cilli does not? Sorry Sergio, but your white hot top five leaves me stone cold.

    • Well best of luck hosting the show Brett (felt so sorry that Conor have moved on), but is the all new infoMania going to be in widescreen? (like the Rotten Tomatoes segments)
