Whether he's explaining why Cingular was the only cellular provider to first offer him service, what his cue word is, or why guns will always be louder than knives, Watts continues to prove why he is a master of blending and blurring the lines between comedy and music. As a fun bonus to the special, a reoccurring sketch is woven throughout the stage sets where the adventurous Watts tries to determine whether his performance in the Park was real or just a dream.

JON BENJAMIN HAS A TOUR
JON BENJAMIN, LEO ALLEN, NATHAN FIELDER ANNOUNCE US TOUR
See JON BENJAMIN, LEO ALLEN, NATHAN FIELDER, and special guests LIVE in your city for a night you will never forget. Nationwide tour. Coast to coast.
HI AMERICA, it's me again, Jon Benjamin. I know we haven't spoken since my bar mitvah speech (sorry about my controversial opposition to the IDF's 1978 attack on Lebanon) Anyway, I made a show in 2010 called Jon Benjamin Has a Van and after a full season, myself, Leo Allen and Nathan Fielder decided to celebrate our middling ratings by launching a tour. Soon thereafter, Comedy Central cancelled our show, but the tour will still go on. So, without further adieu, I formally announce our Cancellation Tour. We will be in 7 cities over the course of ten days (a national record) and we'll perform comedy, magic and show uncensored footage and deleted scenes from American Reunion. It will be cheap, fast and easy. Thanks and hope to see you there. Love, Jon.
