This week on The Chris Gethard Show, It’s piñata pandemonium!

There are 40 piñatas in our studio and the contents of every one has been chosen by a cast member or Impractical Joker. Callers will have the opportunity to pick a piñata, a weapon, and a Joker to smash it. Whatever’s inside the piñata the caller wins. They could win items including but not limited to: highly sentimental mementos from our cast, items the Jokers stole from each other, garbage Shannon found moments before air and whatever the Human Fish thinks belongs in a piñata. The only guarantee is that each item comes with a story and no matter what the viewer gets, we’re mailing it their way.

We’ll give you the phone number to call the show closer to the premiere, but if you want to be a Skype caller for this episode, you can fill out this form. If you’re not sure how to watch the show, we’ve got a guide for you here.

Ready or not, at 11pm ET on Thursday, August 3, we’re going live. You’re not gonna want to miss it.

“How often does a TV show change your life?” The singular, supportive community of GethHeads has a message for Chris ahead of his first HBO special

Today was a tough one for the TCGS community. Our beloved friend @geehorff passed away last night. To say that most of us were heartbroken would be an understatement. For so many people this show and this community have changed our lives (myself included), and for so many of us, Geoff was the first one to welcome us in and make us feel at home. We’ll never be the same without him, but hopefully we’ll carry his generous and joyful spirit with us as we try to go on. It feels somehow fitting that today HBO released this video celebrating our singular community.

god bless @geehorff. i’m going to miss his face & his texts & the random messages checking in on me. i’m really heartbroken today. Remembering the time Amy Poehler did a book signing at my job & I met up with him to see her. I thanked her for UCB and for all of the happiness it brought me, “Like this kid right here.” the TCGS community is so special and so unique and Geoff was such a big part of that for me.

Geoff and I never met in person. Like most of the friends I’ve made through TCGS, we communicated, for the most part, online, and via text messages. He never made it feel like it mattered, we could have late night heart to hearts and early morning texts and random Facebook messages freaking out about Star Wars, and made it feel like we had known each other for years. He was so important. A kind, warm, and welcoming soul. Like so many others have said, he was one of the first people in the TCGS community to reach out and say hi to me on Facebook. Our first conversation was about pacemakers, he was concerned he had to get one (this was 3 years ago), and I told him about what it was like to have one. We bonded right away. I felt like part of the gang from the opposite side of the country, all because of him. Not enough can be said about the type of outstanding person Geoff was. We’re all missing a part of our hearts. God, am I glad to have known him, even if that time as friends was cut far, far too short.

Love you, Geoff Pomella. We’ll be feeling your impact for the rest of our lives.

I’m so glad we had the chance to hang out in New York. I am going to hold on to that memory. But also, every time Geoff texted, or tweeted or responded to a tumblr post just to keep in touch or see what was up. He was always always always there for you when you needed him, and was kind of a rock through some pretty difficult times for me, whether he knew it or not. At a time when I felt small and stuck he made me feel like the world was big, but not lonely.

Connor is running for president again with the purpose of gaining national attention. His campaign slogan is “I’m with Her, look at me!” This is truly insane.

Ellie Kemper was on the show last night, and we attempted to create the happiest couple of minutes in all of television! Feeling down? This may just help you out.
