Atom.com and COMEDY CENTRAL(R) Say Farewell to Dubya with 'Face to Bush' - a New Series of Presidential Exit Interviews Airing Online, on TV and Beyond

Short Parodies Created by Comedy Legend Bob Odenkirk Debut on Atom.com Today and on COMEDY CENTRAL During "Friday Night Stand-Up" on November 14 Beginning at 10:00 P.M.*

NEW YORK, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Ready to hear George Bush's postmortem analysis of his own presidency, before it's over? Get ready for Bush and more Bush in the ultimate presidential exit interview spoofs! "Dubya" impersonator James Adomian stars in "Face to Bush," a series of all-new video shorts co-created by comedy all-star Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show with Bob and David).

"Face to Bush" is slated for multiplatform release on COMEDY CENTRAL and on Atom.com, the comedy network's partner for the development and distribution of original digital comedy content. The first five "Face to Bush" episodes have debuted on Atom.com (http://bush.atom.com/), with six more slated for online release in the coming weeks. Five episodes will premiere tonight, November 14, as interstitials during COMEDY CENTRAL's "Friday Night Stand-Up" beginning at 10:00 P.M. Atom.com will also distribute the content to other outlets including online partners such as MySpace Comedy, Yahoo! Video, Salon and Dailymotion and mobile partners including AT&T. COMEDY CENTRAL's late night "Atom TV" series will air the episodes in January as Bush prepares to leave office.

Thanks to the probing questions of series host Mary McQueegle, fresh off the infomercial circuit, "Face to Bush" tackles a variety of important subjects including:

-- Why Abe Lincoln was the worst president ever
-- The housing market and Bush's future career as a "Realitor"
-- Jesus
-- Vladimir Putin's soul
-- Dick Cheney as puppet master and latenight dining advisor

Actor James Adomian, who plays Dubya, recently portrayed the 43rd president in this year's big screen hit, "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay." He also portrayed Bush on COMEDY CENTRAL's "Indecision 2008" Tour.

"Face to Bush" was written and directed by Bob Odenkirk, Leon Mandel, and Andy Fisher, with Adomian also serving as a co-writer. Odenkirk is well known for his HBO sketch comedy show with David Cross, "Mr. Show with Bob and David." He has also directed feature comedy films such as "Let's Go to Prison" (2006) and "The Brother's Solomon" (2007).

"Face to Bush" was produced by The Wolverines, a production team including Naomi Odenkirk, Bob Odenkirk, Leon Mandel and Andy Fisher.
