Among new additions will be Laff Mob’s Laff Tracks, At Home with Amy Sedaris, Bobcat Goldthwait’s Misfits & Monsters, I’m Sorry and The Chris Gethard Show. The net also has 4 shows in development.

“Three years ago, when we announced our plan to totally reinvent truTV as a comedy network, people thought we were nuts and it would never work – but at least they were nice about it,” said Chris Linn, president of truTV. “Not only have we completely changed the programming slate, but truTV has evolved into a distinct brand that appeals not only to a higher level of talent, but also to more premium audiences and advertisers.”
