 Gethard hosted "The Chris Gethard Show", a talkshow that originally aired on New York City public-access and was streamed around the world on Gethard's website.The show began as a live piece at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in 2009.Gethard then went to Los Angeles to pitch a network version of the show, but ended up returning to New York City to produce it for public-access because he wanted to retain the chaotic, cheap feel of early MTV talk shows.
