Season 2 of this excellent talk show about comedy snuck up on me – why Showtime is relegating it to an 11 p.m. ET time slot is beyond me, since the season’s new shows already have featured the likes of Louis C.K., Tina Fey and Bob Newhart. Tonight’s new episode features host David Steinberg talking comedy with two more veterans of the form: Drew Carey and Martin Mull. I’m a big fan of Carey’s Cleveland-set sitcom The Drew Carey Show, and an even bigger one of Mull’s classic faux talk show, Fernwood 2Night, with sidekick Fred Willard. So I’ll be watching.
