Freeform's Happy Hour of Comedies; Sarah Silverman Brings Her Comedy to Netflix

Freeform announced that it will kick off this spring with its very own "Happy Hour" campaign, bringing fans their favorite comedies and all the best laughs every Monday night beginning March 13 with the return of sitcoms Young & Hungry, Baby Daddy and the series premiere of The Bachelor spin-off The Twins: Happily Ever After?. The casts of Young & Hungry and Baby Daddy came together to celebrate "Happy Hour" before their season premieres (see video below). In the fourth season finale of Young & Hungry, Gabi and Josh decided to be "friends with benefits," much to the group's chagrin, after their previous attempts at a relationship went awry. During the new season, Gabi and Josh try to prove to everyone that they won't let feelings get in the way of their new arrangement, Sofia continues on the path to a career in journalism, and Josh faces an unexpected reunion with his estranged father. Comedy legend Betty White guest stars this season as neighbor Ms. Wilson. In the sixth season of Baby Daddy, Danny and Riley are both excited and overwhelmed about their pregnancy, which puts a strain on their relationship in different ways. Though everyone discourages him from finding her, Ben keeps searching for the mysterious Elle. Tucker experiences many highs and lows as he continues his quest to become a TV host/producer. Bonnie struggles with her involvement in Riley and Danny's life, trying to find the right balance.

Netflix, the world's leading Internet TV network, is bringing its members an all-new stand-up special from one of the most versatile talents in entertainment today, Sarah Silverman. The comedy special, slated to shoot later this month, will launch globally on Netflix Tuesday, May 30th, 2017. An acclaimed actress, writer, producer, comedian and author, Silverman has proven herself to be a distinct and bold voice in stand-up throughout her illustrious career. The comedian's critically-acclaimed 2013 HBO comedy special, Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles, earned her a 2014 Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special," as well as a nomination for "Outstanding Variety Special." The hour-long special also received a Writers Guild Award nod and was later released as an audio album, receiving a 2015 Grammy Award nomination for "Best Comedy Album." Additional honors for Silverman include a 2009 Primetime Emmy Award nod for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series" in her eponymous Comedy Central series, The Sarah Silverman Program, as well as a Writers Guild Award nomination for her work on the project and 2008 Primetime Emmy Award win for "Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics" for her musical collaboration with Matt Damon.
