buzzz worthy. . .


LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2, 2016  -- Upright Citizens Brigade co-founder, and improv comedian Matt Besser's new comedy special, Besser Breaks The Record, made its debut January 7, 2016 along with the launch of NBC's new subscription channel, Seeso. Comedy Dynamics will release record of the special February 5, 2016.
 
Filmed live at the UCB Theater in Hollywood, Matt Besser breaks the mold of an average stand-up comedy special. His improv skills don't disappoint as he brings a variety of characters with him to the stage along with his collection of angry Letters to the Editor (of which he reads and sings aloud). Besser fills his special full of theatrical surprises, which are all just the cherry on top of his natural comedic talent. 

"Matt Besser is one of the founders of the current and next generation of comedy creators," Comedy Dynamics President, Brian Volk-Weiss, says. "To be working on a show like this is to be part of the kind of ground-breaking comedy history we embrace." 

Debuting January 2016 on Seeso, is The UCB Show with Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts. Besser also appears in the web series parody, The Hotwives of Orlando, streaming on Hulu now. He is best known for creating and writing the TV Movie This Show Will Get You High (2010), the TV Series short Myspace Tom (2007), and for being the star/founding member of the 1998 TV series Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) alongside Poehler, Walsh, and Roberts. UCB opened a comedy theater and improv school operating in both New York City and Los Angeles. He created and starred in a number of TV series including Crossballs and The Very Funny Show for TBS.com. More recently, he wrote and co-directed his first film musical, Freak Dance, based on a long-running UCB show. Currently, he hosts a weekly-improvised comedy podcast called improv4humans on the Earwolf podcasting network. Besser and the UCB still perform several times a week at the Los Angeles Theater, most notably in the world-famous show ASSSSCAT 3000 every Sunday night.
Comedy Dynamics is the largest independent comedy production and distribution company in North America, producing the highly-anticipated new series on History, Join Or Die with Craig Ferguson, and working with a wide-range of established and emerging comedic talent including Kevin Hart, Louis C.K., Aziz Ansari, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Katt Williams and many more.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
