Remember the good ol' days of Best Week Ever?

The VH1 show, which launched in 2004, offered a look back at the pop-culture week that was. More importantly, it featured a bunch of up-and-coming comedians who went on to snag their own TV shows, podcasts and the like. (The great Paul F. Tompkins hosted, with regular appearances by Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, Nick Kroll and Doug Benson.)

Best Week Ever went off the air in 2009 but it returns tonight, forcing many of us to figure out where the heck to find VH1 on our TV dials. Since Tompkins stays pretty busy these days, this time around a group of new kids has been recruited to host.

Here's a preview:

If you're a fan of E!'s The Soup and/or snarky celebrity blogs, this might be your bag. Best Week Ever airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on VH1. Head to the official site for cast profiles and a blog.
