THE ONLY THING TO FEAR IS WHERE HE’LL GO NEXT.
The Jim Jefferies Show is here to shake up the humdrum formula of the political late-night show. Jim tackles the news of the day with no-bulls**t candor, piercing insight and a uniquely Aussie viewpoint.
photographer: Art Streiber
CHALLENGE
How do we further differentiate us from the late-night pack to excite people (especially Tosh viewers) into tuning in?
AUDIENCE INSIGHT
Viewers crave a fresh perspective on the world. Our audience is looking to be informed, while striving to pop their own bubble. 80% of fans think Jim has a fresh POV, and 81% think he brings valuable international perspective.
SHOW INSIGHT
Late-night is best when it’s brave. With all of late-night covering the same topics, the only way to break through is to push boundaries of late-night. What sets Jim apart most from other late-night news shows (via research):
- Brutally honest
- International POV
- Traveling field pieces
CULTURAL INSIGHT
There’s more going on than politics. Politics dominate the cultural conversation, but there’s so much more to discuss. Which is why Jim covers culturally relevant topics beyond politics.
AN ARRESTING NEW DOCUSERIES.
Klepper - a docuseries that follows host Jordan Klepper as he hits the road and leaves the comfort of his desk behind. Whether he's in a capsized boat with environmental protesters in a Louisiana bayou or waiting to post bail at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, Jordan is on the front lines of American activism.
photographer: Fulton County Sherif
CHALLENGE
Create excitement and intrigue around this as a docuseries;
1. Crazy topics Klepper will tackle
2. Hilariously crazy lengths he’ll go to tackle them
AUDIENCE INSIGHT
Viewers want to be informed, but only get a surface level understanding day to day.
SHOW INSIGHT
You can’t understand a cause until you’ve lived it. Or tried to.
CULTURAL INSIGHT
We’re living in an era of “all talk, no action.”
STRATEGIC IDEA
KLEPPER’S DEDICATION TO THE CAUSE(S)
THEIR LITTLE BROTHER JUST GOT BIG.
An aspiring actor and his sister Brooke, a former professional dancer, try to find their place in the world while wrestling with their feelings about their 13-year-old brother Chase's sudden rise to internet fame.
photographer: Matthias Clamer
CONTEXT
This is different than your traditional Comedy Central scripted series. While it’s classically Comedy Central in that it’s funny, provocative, authentic, and culturally relevant, it’s unique in that it’s family-forward, super-personally relatable, narrative-driven, and most of all, has heart. This’ll be surprising to CC fans, so let’s leverage this juxtaposition to pique their curiosity and stand out from the pack.
CHALLENGE
How do we show off the relatable heart/narrative, without losing its classic Comedy Central edge? And how do we relate and appeal to Broad City fans?
AUDIENCE INSIGHT
Our family dynamic impacts how we see ourselves. “Research shows that 100% of viewers come from a family.” -Kent. We can all relate to the complexity of family dynamics, and how they influence our feelings, relationships, and life pursuits. In ToT, we see the craziness of family unfold, through the eyes of the siblings. Broad City/Growth hooks: “So true” relatable family/friend relationships (they want to be invested, have emotional stakes) Core hooks- Lol humor + adventures/storylines
SHOW INSIGHT
The show explores the question of authentic identity, and proves that significance is really all about perspective; you’ll always feel insignificant (or in this case, overlooked) if all you do is compare yourself to others.
CULTURAL INSIGHT
We’re recognizing the facade of the fame machine. From fake celebrity relationships, to Kanye tweetstorms conveniently around album drops, the manufacturing of fame has become a transparent game. We’re now all observers of the making and marketing of celebrities, and it’s causing us to question our shared values.
STRATEGIC IDEA
SIBLINGS OUTSIDE OF THE SPOTLIGHT
ONE OF THESE MOTHERS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS.

The series stars author Jill Kargman as Weber, a satirical version of herself.
