[2] The concept of the show was that three stand-up comedians per episode perform their acts in front of an audience, with Benson sitting on a throne by the side of the stage.

The first season aired on Fridays at midnight on Comedy Central.

Every episode featured at least one "tweet-off", where Benson and the current guest read Twitter posts off of their own Twitter accounts in an effort to outdo each other with funny tweets.

The entire series was released on a bonus DVD with the album "Potty Mouth."

Starting January 21, 2011, unedited live shows of The Benson Interruption became available to download as podcasts.
