Don't say the F word around Chris Gethard. Formula is a bad word on the set of his rule-breaking television show. 

Guest host Gill Deacon checks in with the comedic disruptor, who ignores the conventions of late night talk shows on his own public access show turned YouTube hit, The Chris Gethard Show. From replacing the audience with puppies to letting guests cut hair, anything goes with Gethard.

The self-described strange guy carves out a niche for those who have never identified with "normal" — and it seems he's found his tribe. Despite its modest budget, the show's shtick has attracted the likes of Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, and Amy Schumer.
