"It's Friday night and the mood is right. Gonna have some fun, show you how it's done, TGIF".

BCC is bringing back ABC's TGIF programming block Fridays at 7pm ET / 6 pm CT with Duchovny and Olestra. Does it stand for "Thank God It's Friday" or "Thank God It's Funny"... we'll never know. But it will be funny and it will be on Friday and we will thank god for both.

Duchovny is a group of elite New York maniacs comprised of veteran improvisers, actors, and comedians who you've probably seen in TV, movies, and even the most coveted work of all, digital-only commercials that air before Youtube videos. Duchovny is fast paced, high energy and filled to the brim with chaos.

Olestra is a squad of dangerous Chicago criminals who make out and beat the hell out of each other on stage here in New York. They evaded arrest by racking up credits in the entertainment industry; The Tonight Show, The Second City, UCB Betty, The Improvised Shakespeare Company, to name a few.
