在The Half Hour問世前，《喜劇獻禮》就是經典。這個每回半小時的節目中，將邀請時下最夯的喜劇諧星們登台演出。而《喜劇獻禮》也是許多當今的大咖諧星們邁向成功的墊腳石之一，其中包括：凱文哈特、愛咪舒莫、路易士C.K.等等。
Before The Half Hour, there was Comedy Central Presents. These half-hour specials showcase some of the best up-and-coming comedians of the moment. The show was a pivotal stepping stone for many of today's biggest stand-up stars, including Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Dave Chappelle, Patton Oswalt, Jim Gaffigan, Louis C.K., Zach Galifianakis, Dane Cook, Bill Burr, Wanda Sykes and Maria Bamford.
