Comedian John Hodgman (who many know from The Daily Show as well as the old Mac commercials – he was the PC guy) has a new stand-up comedy special coming to Netflix. Netflix just released this trailer:
Hodgman appeared on the CNET podcast The 404 today to discuss the special.
The special will be released on June 30th.
In case you’re wondering if that will include Netflix UK, the answer is yes, according to the man himself:
“@empiresteve: @hodgman Will that include @netflixuk? Fingers crossed it does.”//YES

Now that Netflix has the ball rolling with exclusive content, there seem to be no signs of the company letting up. It has a significant head start at this point, over competitors like Amazon, which just greenlit its first original shows last week. Last week, Netflix launched an original documentary, Art of Conflict.
I gotta get going on some jokes about binge watching.
