Watch The First Episode Of Marc Maron's New TV Show Online

This week, comedian turned podcaster Marc Maron will debut his brand new IFC show, Maron. The show gives an exaggerated spin to his meteoric rise to fame via the world of podcasting, much in the way Louie is kind of based on Louis CK's life, but really isn't a biography of the comedian.

Maron premieres on May 3, but the first episode is now streaming for your viewing pleasure. Check it out below.

Here's the first episode of Maron thanks to IFC.

For more on the show, which premieres at 10 p.m. May 3, visit its official site. The description from IFC offers more self-deprecating details:

Marc Maron has been a comedian for 25 years. He's had his problems. He was an angry, drunk, self involved, twice divorced compulsive mess for most of his adult life, but with the popularity of a podcast he does in his garage and a life of sobriety, his life and career are turning around. MARON explores a fictionalized version of Marc's life, his relationships, and his career, including his incredibly popular WTF podcast, which features conversations Marc conducts with celebrities and fellow comedians. Neurosis intact, Maron is uniquely fascinating, absolutely compelling and brutally funny.

Produced for IFC by Fox Television Studios and Denis Leary and Jim Serpico's Apostle, MARON is directed by Oscar® winning director Luke Matheny (God of Love) and executive produced by Marc Maron, Denis Leary, Jim Serpico, Olivia Wingate, and Duncan Birmingham, who also serves as the series' writer.
