Important things with Demetri Martin is an upcoming series airing on Comedy Central starring comedian Demetri Martin. The show will be executive produced by Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions [1] The show will contain both stand-up comedy by Martin, as well as taped sketches.

Jon Stewart has taken an active role in "shepherding" the pilot. Reuters reports: 'Lauren Corrao, executive VP of original programming and development at Comedy Central, noted that Martin's style of humor is nothing like the sketch shows the network has previously tried. The pilot puts Martin's sly, thoughtful manner to use by having all the segments riff on "the important things" about ... chairs. Future episodes will give the same treatment to everything from apples to "what happens after we die," she said.'[2]
