NEW YORK, December 8, 2016 – The aliens have finally landed as Comedy Central premieres its latest animated series “Jeff & Some Aliens” on Wednesday, January 11 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT following the premiere of the seventh and final season of “Workaholics.”
A spin-off of the animated anthology series “TripTank,” the ten-episode season follows Jeff (voiced by Brett Gelman), Earth’s most average guy, and three Azurian aliens, Sammy, Jimmy and Ted (all voiced by Alessandro Minoli) who live with him in his shitty one bedroom/one bath apartment.

In the season premiere “Jeff and Some Honor Killings,” Jeff inadvertently kills an alien on the planet of Azuria and is forced to kill a human on Earth to restore balance and prevent an intergalactic war.

In December, fans will also be treated to a Christmas special to be released exclusively on Snapchat Discover and Facebook featuring classic holiday moments like the aliens and Jeff exchanging presents – turns out alien presents can be kind of dangerous.
