Comedy Central Renews ‘The Jim Jefferies Show’

Comedy Central has renewed “The Jim Jefferies Show” for a 20-episode second season. The cable channel’s chief Kent Alterman said on Monday, “You’d think I’d stop being surprised at how smart and funny Jim is about everything." Jefferies added, "We have great things planned for this season including field pieces in Europe and Israel that I’m recording right now. I have missed being on-air during the hiatus but luckily the President hasn’t said or done anything stupid worth talking about.” Each week, Jefferies tackles the week’s major headlines from behind his desk.
