Hulu launches new comedy brand called 'Hularious'

NEW YORK — From world headlines to holiday stress, one thing we all could use is a good laugh.

With comedy specials becoming Hollywood’s hottest ticket, Hulu is getting in on the action with a new brand- Hularious.

By definition, comedians are entertainers whose acts are designed to make audiences laugh.

Amid a world seemingly more divided with each passing day, comedians are taking on a significant role beyond just making people laugh. They are stepping into the shoes of unofficial therapists, skillfully highlighting our quirks, bringing humor and coherence to our disarray.

Hulu is placing a significant bet on the influence of humor with the launch of Hularious, their latest comedy initiative led by Jim Gaffigan, who is front and center with his newest special, “The Skinny.”

Joelle Garguilo spoke with Gaffigan at the launch.

“For you personally, what is something that always hits, that will always make you laugh?” Garguilo asked.

“In my experience, my wife often complains. It may sound harsh, but in ‘The Skinny,’ I delve into the reality of my wife’s dislike for our dog. It’s a genuine scenario, and I find humor in it. However, to her, it’s not amusing at all. She truly doesn’t like our furry companion,” shared Gaffigan.

If you know Gaffigan’s comedy, you know family is front and center.

The same can be said about much of the Hularious lineup.

“The horror show that is the in-law relationship will never go out of style,” Zarna Garg said.

“My daughter cannot stand to see my hair pulled back, and I say she’s like, my mafia boyfriend. She’s like, take that down. Take that down. I like it long,” Ilana Glazer said.

Each month, a new comedy special will hit the platform.

The lineup is as diverse as the laughs these comedians deliver.

“My comedy’s just yummy, yummy in your tummy, and that’s all it is. Just be cute,” Chris Distefano said.

“What is it like when you’re all in a room together? Garguilo asked.

“Comedians are great. They’re crazy, as long as they feel safe with you. Just they’re mentally ill,” Gaffigan said.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu and this station.
