New episodes will now debut first on the channel on Tuesday’s at noon, later that day on the SiriusXM app, and then a week later on his podcast feed and YouTube channel.
He commented, “Joining SiriusXM and launching my own channel is a huge moment for me. It’s an incredible opportunity to create a space that brings together everything I love: comedy, storytelling, great conversations, and unexpected moments. I’m excited to give listeners something that feels fresh, fun, and uniquely mine. We’ve got a lot of exciting things planned, and I can’t wait for people to hear what we’re building. Honestly, the real comedy may come from trying to teach my father how to find SiriusXM in his car. That alone could be its own weekly series.”
SiriusXM President/Chief Content Officer Scott Greenstein said. “Sebastian is one of the funniest and most influential voices in comedy today. From sold-out arenas to chart-topping specials, he brings an energy and perspective that audiences relate to and connect with instantly. We’re thrilled to build a new comedy destination around him and give our subscribers a place to experience his voice — and the voices he champions — every day.”
