The #1 brand in comedy has greenlit eight episodes of the weekly, half-hour series, Why?

"Hannibal keeps asking us 'why' so we just told him to go find out and we'll air it," said Alterman. "I'm extremely excited to help Comedy Central sell advertising," said Buress. Executive produced by Buress, Jeff Stilson ("The Chris Rock Show" and "Da Ali G Show") and Dave Becky of 3 Arts Entertainment, "Why?
