weeknights at 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., beginning Monday, September 19
Starring Tina Fey, Jane Krakowski, Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin. Running "TGS with Tracy Jordan" is not easy for head writer Liz Lemon, especially when she has to deal with stars that have the combined maturity of a fourth grader, an executive constantly dispensing corporate wisdom and a personal life one could charitably describe as "depressing." Catch all of the one-liners, behind-the-scenes action and wild humor from this multiple-Emmy(R) Award-winning comedy weeknights at 7:00 and 7:30 p.m. when it has its COMEDY CENTRAL debut on Monday, September 19.

Before the premiere of the not-to-be missed "COMEDY CENTRAL Roast of Charlie Sheen" on Monday, September 19 at 10:00 p.m. viewers can tune-in at 9:45 p.m. for the "Roast Pre-Show" to see all of the Roasters, the Roast Master and the Roastee himself before they all take stage on the notoriously brutal dais.

Tuesday, September 20 at 10:30 p.m.
Adam, Blake and Anders are back at work in an all-new season of the hit series, "Workaholics." Dress codes, deadlines and waking up before noon are not things these guys are used to.

Best friends who work together from 9 to 5 and live together from 5 to 9, the gang is back to tackle their work/life balance in a new season of "Workaholics."
