Paul F. Tompkins to host revamped "Best Week Ever"

[Jouster]

AST favorite Paul F. Tompkins will be hosting and co-executive producing a new version of "Best Week Ever" on VH1, set to debut on October 24th. He will serve as the host and anchor of the show and provide most of the commentary, but fans of the current version needn't worry - the longtime regulars will rotate in and out with their own produced segments. Paul has this to say: "I am going to make the most of this opportunity. We're going to try our best to make a good show. It's a good team. And I think if the show wasn't exactly your thing before, you might want to give it a second chance in this incarnation. It will be a more controlled, written show-- since less time will be taken up combing through a couple dozen interview tapes looking for the best jokes from a dozen people, that's more time to write the best jokes and have me and a couple other people deliver them. I hope people tune in and enjoy the show!"

Rad. Any word on who else is working on the show?

Something is right with the world: Paul gets his own show. Congratulations!

I've always loved Best Week Ever and always hoped it would evolve into something more cohesive. ie: I want to see the funny people talking for longer so yay.

Best news ever.

Perhaps an overstatement.

But this should be great.

it'll be really interesting to see where this show goes and what bwe regulars stay and which ones don't come back. does the move to new york for pft mean less doug benson: pop culture bachelor and more stuff from nick kroll?

edit:
don't get me wrong, this is really awesome.

[disl]

does this mean no more of that annoying voiceover guy? that alone makes this great news. yay, paul! you did it!

[pauliophonic]

Well, this is certainly the first I've heard of this.

What's scary is that there is a total of four people who believe this! Four! That's a threatening amount.

(I like pft)

It's like VH1 read my mind. This guy is very excited!

I agree with the opposite of this statement.

[pollymaepry]

I disagree with scam's opinion.

I think Chuck Nice is way funny is the thing.

[I love nny]

Fantastic news that much is for sure.

On the topic of Doug Benson no where does it say that they could pretape the pop culture bachelor segment

[man124]

As long as chris jericho never, ever, ever makes an appearance on this version, then I am totally on board. Fuck do I hate that guy. And I'm not sure why, other then the fact that VH1 insists on putting him on comedic stuff, despite the fact that he is not at all funny. Also, I think I heard an interview with him once, where he claimed that Paul stole jokes from him on the original version of best week ever. So fuck him.

I agree with the opposite of this statement.

That wasn't very Chuck Nice.

I'm more proud of this post than you will ever know.

[I love nny]

That wasn't very Chuck Nice.

Oh I see what you did their. Kudos
