truTV renewals include Impractical Jokers, Jon Glaser Loves Gear, The Carbonaro Effect, Hack My Life, Adam Ruins Everything, Those Who Can’t, You Can Do Better and Comedy Knockout. 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.”
