TNT Comedy (until March 2014 glitz* and until May 2016 TNT Glitz) is a pay TV channel in Germany, which was launched on May 8, 2012 as glitz*.[1] It is owned by Turner Broadcasting System.[2] It is mainly targeted to women, similar to the free TV channel sixx.[3] Glitz is currently only available via cable and IPTV.

On 1 April 2014 the channel was renamed TNT Glitz and started broadcasting via satellite on Sky Germany. The slogan "The sun is shining here" ("Hier scheint die Sonne") was changed to "We are pink" ("Wir sind pink").[5]
