Life is a journey for Ben Hoffman, and he needs a lot of help navigating it. The comedian stars in a sketch show/man-on-the-street hybrid that sees him exploring the randomness of everyday existence. In each episode he sets a goal -- examples: Form a band. Buy a gun. Go on a blind date. -- and works toward it with the help of advice from family members, friends and complete strangers. The journeys interweave vignettes as well as sketches, and there are also original songs and animated pieces.

Snapped

Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why? Whether the motivation is revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder.
