If you watch “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” on a regular basis, then you’ve probably seen Demetri Martin doing his recurring feature, “Trendspotting,” or possibly “Professional Important News with Demetri Martin.” Maybe you’ve seen his Comedy Central stand-up special. Perhaps you remember him as the keytar player in the first-season finale of “Flight of the Conchords,” or from his role as a music video producer in “The Rocker.” If your local cable company provides you with a network that actually shows music videos, then perhaps you spotted him in the video for Fountains of Wayne’s “Someone to Love.”
Or if you’re a Britpop fan, then perhaps you caught him in the video for Travis’s “Selfish Jean.”
Recognize him now…? If so, then you’ve probably just had a flashback to some routine or other and had a good laugh (as if the videos themselves aren’t worth a chortle or two themselves), but you should go ahead and prepare yourself for a lot more laughter when Martin’s new Comedy Central sketch comedy series, “Important Things with Demetri Martin,” premieres on February 25th.
