DAVID CROSS, FRED ARMISEN, CARRIE BROWNSTEIN AND JONATHAN KRISEL DEBUT NEW SEASONS OF THE INCREASINGLY POOR DECISIONS OF TODD MARGARET AND PORTLANDIA AT NEW YORK COMIC CON ON OCT. 16

 

IFC’s Original Comedies Return January 2012

 

NEW YORK, NY – SEPTEMBER 14, 2011 – IFC’s hit comedy series, Portlandia and The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret will make their first ever New York Comic Con appearances for two back-to-back panels on Sunday, October 16th starting at 11:00am.

 

Portlandia’s (http://www.ifc.com/portlandia/) creators, writers and stars, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live), Carrie Brownstein (Wild Flag, Sleater-Kinney) and Jonathan Krisel (Saturday Night Live, Tim and Eric Awesome Show) will appear to discuss the show’s highly anticipated second season and take questions from the audience. They will also unveil a special sneak peek from season two. The panel will be moderated by actor and comedian Seth Meyers (Saturday Night Live). Portlandia is set to make its return to IFC in January 2012 with a slew of new characters and notable guest stars along with some of last season's favorite residents.

 

Creator, writer and star of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret (http://www.ifc.com/todd-margaret/), David Cross (Arrested Development, Mr. Show) will be at New York Comic Con to tell fans about the second season of this raucous misadventure. The conversation will be moderated by actor and comedian H. Jon Benjamin (Archer, Jon Benjamin Has a Van). Todd Margaret, played by Cross, is a corporate nobody who bluffs his way into a position heading up the London office for the new energy drink Thunder Muscle, and manages to get himself into increasingly outlandish and dire situations along the way. The show also stars Will Arnett (Up All Night, Arrested Development), Sharon Horgan (Pulling), Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners) and this season Jon Hamm (Mad Men) guest stars.
