Although Comedy Central, which launched in 1991, really cemented its reputation with shows like the animated hit South Park, and fake news programs The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, the network's roots are really in stand-up comedy. Comedy Central has always aired various specials showcasing stand-up comedians, but since 1998 they have been steadily producing the New York-based series Comedy Central Presents, a half-hour showcase of the best up-and-coming comedians doing a 30-minute set of their funniest material.

Comedy Central Presents Cancellation Details
Comedy Central Presents had long been a staple of comedy central programming. It epitomized what some consider the essence of comedy, live stand-up. The show premiered in 1998 and gave way to many up and coming comedians who found notoriety (Zack Galifianakas, Patton Oswalt, Daniel Tosh, Carols Mencia, Dane Cook to name a few). In 2011 Comedy Central ended the program and re branded the show as The Half Hour which, as the name implies, provides a 30 minute show for stand-up comics to perform.
