Though it ran for four years on IFC, the critically acclaimed improv-comedy show "Comedy Bang Bang" was just a blip in Scott Aukerman's much longer, and more notable, career as a podcasting pioneer. 

"Comedy Bang! Bang!" was a podcast first (actually it was briefly a radio show, then a podcast), and it's still running today. It's the flagship show of the Earwolf podcast network, which Aukerman co-founded. Earwolf has produced dozens of other (mostly comedy) podcasts over the years, launching almost as many careers. 

Aukerman still does the "Comedy Bang! Bang!" podcast, but he's also continued with film and TV. Most notably, he recently directed, wrote and produced "Between Two Ferns: The Movie" (2019), which was based on his long-running web series of the same name.

He's also been producing a lot of shows, such as Netflix's "Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun" and the four-season comedy series "Bajillion Dollar Properties." 

Any of these would be good watches if you liked "Comedy Bang! Bang!," but you might do better to just listen to the podcast (available on Earwolf.com or on any of the various podcast platforms out there). It even still features many of the same regular faces and recurring characters you'd know from the show.
