The year is coming to an end, so we decided to take a look back at the biggest comedy stories of 2015. Mark and Matt invited their comedy journalism friends, Katla McGlynn (Splitsider, Vanity Fair), Jesse David Fox (Vulture) and Sean L. McCarthy (The Comic’s Comic) to have a roundtable discussion of the biggest comedy news stories in 2015. We covered so much comedy that it had to be broken up into two parts. In part #1 we discuss our favorite specials of the year, biggest hits, and biggest misses. Best stant-up moments, and what's the deal with festivals. Part #2 will come to you next week.
