NEW YORK, NY — Summer has come to an end and it's time to get back to work, especially for co-workers and roommates, Adam, Blake and Anders, who return to their cubicles in the second season premiere of "Workaholics." Comedy Central's hit, scripted series debuts on Tuesday, September 20 at 10:30 p.m., following the fall season premiere of "Tosh.0" (10:00 p.m.). In their sophomore season, the guys will attempt to give up drinking for a week, spend Thanksgiving at a Caribbean sex resort and go undercover at the local high school.
Adam, Blake and Anders will be working double-shifts as they host the upcoming red carpet for the "Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen" pre-show. The show will be airing on Monday, September 19 at 9:30 p.m. on comedycentral.com and on Comedy Central at 9:45 p.m., leading up to the 10 p.m. "Roast" premiere. Tune-in to see the guys mix-and-mingle with the talent preparing to take aim at Charlie Sheen for the evening.

From the minds of the hilarious and irreverent Internet sketch group Mail Order Comedy, "Workaholics" is a single camera comedy featuring three friends who work together as telemarketers from 9 to 5 and live together from 5 to 9. Dress codes, deadlines and waking up before noon are not things these guys are used to. They do their jobs and sometimes they even do them well, but they show up late, leave drunk and always live for the day… even if they don't know what day it is. Co-created by Mail Order Comedy's Blake Anderson, Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck and 5th Year's Dominic Russo and Connor Pritchard, the series stars Anderson, Devine and Holm and is directed by Newacheck. Kevin Etten serves as the show runner.
"Workaholics" Season One DVD will be released by Comedy Central Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment on October 11. The DVD is extended and loaded with over 30 minutes of bonus features including cast interviews, deleted scenes, digital originals, alternative takes, Live at Bonnaroo, drunken audio commentary on all episodes and more.
