Produced by MTV, "The State" is a sketch comedy show, a la "Saturday Night Live" with more elaborate productions. The series makes fun of anything and everything and doesn't pull any punches -- even when making fun of its own network, MTV. Notable comics featured on the show include Michael Ian Black and Thomas Lennon.
