The Henry Rollins Show takes a straightforward approach to late-night talk. Henry Rollins, the articulate and opinionated former lead singer of "Black Flag," front man of the "Rollins Band," actor, author and spoken word artist, will continue to give us his unique take on the current state of pop culture, politics and everything entertainment, for better or worse. New this season, writer, actress and comedian Janeane Garofalo offers special commentary from her New York City apartment in a segment called 'The Disquisition.'

With one guest and one musical performance per week, Rollins engages entertainment figures such as Ben Stiller and Marilyn Manson in raw discussions on politics, world affairs, religion and pop culture in IFC's uncut, uncensored environment. At "The Bombshelter" recording studio - the Los Angeles based studio where musical performances for the show are taped - artists are given the freedom to perform without the time and content restrictions common to most late night shows. Each artist performs two songs: one for the episode and one to be featured exclusively on IFC.com one week prior to the artist's appearance.
