(1) Important Things

Important Things with Demetri Martin was a sketch-variety show that aired on Comedy Central starring comedian Demetri Martin.

All sketches, short vignettes, animated segments and stand-up comedy are loosely related to the theme of the episode. The show was produced by Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions, and contains stand-up, prop comedy and musical comedy by Martin, as well as taped sketches. Jon Stewart took an active role in editing the first few episodes. H. Jon Benjamin appeared in eight episodes and had a writing credit on seven as well.
