The High Court

The High Court
TV Show · Reality · Comedy

Actual small claims court cases are adjudicated by comic Doug Benson in perhaps the "highest court in the land" -- literally -- in this 15-minute strip series. Benson assumes the role of judge and a comedian friend -- including Michael Ian Black, Lucas Bros, Joey "Coco" Diaz, Todd Glass, Tiffany Haddish, Jessimae Peluso, Rory Scovel, Beth Stelling, Geoff Tate, and Reggie Watts -- guest stars in each episode as the bailiff. After hearing both sides of a case, Doug deliberates while getting high. As Comedy Central says, this is legal -- somehow. "Both parties in the suit have agreed to dismiss their court cases and have their disputes settled here, by... a stand-up comedian... under the influence of marijuana."
