This one joke wonder gets a renewal? If he walks as a righteous man among us, then he will he forward a percentage of the contract to Steven Wright.

50% ought to do it.

Steven Wright didn't invent deadpan humor. Nor did he invent one-liners. He borrowed them from someone else who borrowed them from someone else. All this Demetri Martin bashing is about as valid as accusing Wayne Brady of plagiarizing Richard Pryor just because they're both black comedians.

Thank god there is some justice in this world. I was worried when the show was replaced with Krod Mandoon that it was gone forever. This is fantastic news
