‘The Earliest Show’
The Earliest Show is so much silly, silly fun. This under-the-radar 2016 web series stars Ben Schwartz and Lauren Lapkus as morning show co-hosts dealing with the fallout of a failed on-air wedding proposal. Produced by Funny or Die, the six-episode comedy is largely improvised and produces a truly absurd amount of laugh-out-loud moments during each bite-sized installment. Schwartz and Lapkus are two of the funniest improvisers in the game, and Joe Hartzler is pitch-perfect as the show’s inept producer Marc.
The Earliest Show never fails to put a smile on my face. The series would be perfect for Netflix, Hulu, or any streaming service looking to add a hilarious, easy-to-produce comedy. Check it out; you won’t be sorry. While we all wait for a reboot, you can stream every episode for free on YouTube.
