The Check Spot, hosted by Emma Willmann is a new radio show debuting on Raw Dog Comedy SiriusXM 99 this Tuesday, March 1. This new show will be the on-air equivalent to the slot given to brand new comics in NYC comedy clubs, aka “the check spot” (hence the show’s name.) This is incredibly exciting news for listeners and aspiring comics alike as it will give up-and-coming comedians a chance to show off their chops through clips from their comedy albums and interviews.

We are once again teaming up with the Bennington Show for Super Bowl Sunday to guarantee we are delivering the best comedy coverage of the biggest football game of the year. As part of that excitement, 29 of the funniest comedians on the planet made 28 of the funniest predictions in the Universe for the biggest sporting event in the United States, which we may or may not be able to refer to as (dun-dun dunnnnn) The Super Bowl. You can hear them on Bennington, or you can read and listen to them right here on The IBang. Let us know in the comments who you are picking and what score you are forseeing. Good luck, and as long as the Coconuts don't win, it will all be good.

Everyone had some dumb job when they were still in high school. We got to hear twenty three of our comedy friends tell stories about the first jobs they ever had, and the stories are amazing.

When we were up in Montreal, we asked a lot of questions and got a lot of answers. Everyone's favorite topic was Donald Trump that week, so we asked six comedians what they think of Donald T. Rump. We got seven answers. Can you match the answer with the comic who said the quote? Be careful, one of the comics had two answers, and we're not saying who. Good luck and good Trump to you all.

Caroline herself was in the house and presented the award of being New York's Funniest to Ricky Velez, from Queens New York, who was also the audience favorite.
