Characters not seen here include the "Oh Hello" guys, "Legs”, a new kid at a school for handicapped kids, and “Ref Jeff,” a big-butted basketball ref trying to “lock down” plans with players during the game.
Let's see some Ref Jeff.Originally Posted by BillBrasky

Beginning in January, some of Kroll’s characters will enter the world of social media allowing fans to interact with them directly, including a Bobby Bottleservice Twitter account, a PubLIZity Pinterest page and a Rich Dicks Instagram Tumblr (a parody of Rich Kids of Instagram), among others. In addition, the “Kroll Show” Facebook page will be updated multiple times each week with the latest content from the show.
Also, this is interesting:
Edit: The first two episodes are up at the Comedy Central Screening Room!'Kroll Show" is executive produced and written by Kroll, John Levenstein ("Arrested Development") and Jonathan Krisel ("Portlandia"), who is also directing. Jon Daly ("Happy Endings") serves as Supervising Producer and actor in the series. Jim Sharp and Monika Zielinska are the Executives in Charge of Production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
I just watched the first episode of this and it's kind of a mixed bag. "Ref Jeff" is pretty stupid, and the entire premise of the Canadian soap opera parody appears to be "Canadian accents are funny", along the lines of "The Californians" (not something anyone should be aspiring to). On the other hand, there is a recurring sketch called "Sex and the City For Dudes" which is all right, featuring lots of cameos (Ed Helms, Jason Mantzoukas, Brian Huskey, Jon Daly). And the "PubLIZity" sketches are a pretty funny parody of inane reality shows like "The Hills", with Jenny Slate actually being very funny, much funnier than she ever was allowed to be on SNL. She seems to be very talented with voices and creating characters, I guess live TV just wasn't really her thing.
Overall the show looks really nice and has really good production values, but some of the premises are a little weak.
interesting Sex and The City For Dudes was a bit show done at Del Close Marathon this summer with among others Jason Mantzoukas, adam pally and owen burke and featuring that song between bits lol
Kroll's new "Liz" character also appeared on Comedy Bang! Bang! a few weeks ago as well.
You can get the whole first episode now on Itunes for free:

Rich Dicks- Car Trouble
Haha, "It's Chris Kattan"
"She walked out of the room using that pretty ass I mentioned earlier to propel herself forward. I felt like my dick had been kicked up into my mouth, making me throw up from having a dick in my mouth"
There's a Nick Kroll interview in the New York Times.

It made me uncomfortable how awful the interviewer was.
The first episode is great. How come no one is talking about it here?
I just watched it last night on hulu and thought it was absolutely fantastic. / glad to see that it's on hulu too.
I watched the first 2 eps on the CC Screening Room a couple of weeks back and I thought it was excellent. The reality show parodies were so spot-on, and there are so many people that I love involved that it's pretty much a "home-run" as I believe you Americans like to say.
