Comedy Central is getting Doug with “High.” The cable network has ordered the new series “The High Court,” a daily show starring comedian Doug Benson as he smokes weed, gets high, then rules on real small claims court cases.
The show is loosely based on Benson’s YouTube series “Getting Doug with High.” Benson is also a regular on Comedy Central’s late-night series “@midnight.”
“The High Court” (or “Thc,” natch) will air as a daily 15-minute series. Comedy Central hasn’t said yet whether the show will be stripped with another 15-minute show (or be paired with two segments back-to-back), or how many episodes have been ordered. The show is being eyed for a late-night run.

Weed-friendly comedian Doug Benson is suing his partners on the documentary “Super High Me,” claiming that they harshed his mellow by attempting to make a follow-up to the film against his will. In his suit, filed in federal court in California, the former host of Comedy Central’s “The Benson Interruption” claims that he formed Four Twenty Partners with DJ Paul, Alex Campbell and another partner to produce the documentary “Super High Me,” which “sought to document the effects of cannabis on Benson by following him through 30 straight days of cannabis-free living,...

South By Southwest (SXSW) has officially announced the lineup for SXSW Comedy, which will take place from March 10 - 17 in Austin, Texas. The festival's comedy programming has grown considerably since last year, with showcases, live podcast tapings and interactive shows stretching continuously throughout SXSW for the first time. The festival has announced 62 comedians scheduled to appear, nearly doubling last year's roster of performers.
