Odds are that if you’ve enjoyed some of the more talked about comedy on television in recent memory, you’ve enjoyed the work of Jessi Klein. As a writer of both Inside Amy Schumer and Kroll Show, Klein is a formidable voice in comedy.

Get a sampling of it from this live reading that Jessi recently performed at Refinery 29′s Riot Live.

As you might be well aware or have heard repeatedly on the news, the upcoming Republican and Democratic National Conventions will be affairs actually worth watching this time around. What is going to happen at them is anyone’s guess, especially at the RNC.

With that in mind, Stephen Colbert and his Late Show team have made a Bingo card generator for each convention that is filled with events likely to happen at either convention such as “27th mention of wall” or “white person speaking Spanish” instead of numbers.

We’ll let Colbert take it from here.

Then, get your convention Bingo card here.

For both the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be going live with their coverage of the two events for two weeks.

With the insane climate of this presidential election and the amount of air time that Colbert has, The Late Show has lots of stuff up their sleeve including an appearance by Jon Stewart, a giant musical number, and more.

Watch Stephen run down exactly what’s in store while on CBS This Morning even though no one is completely sure what’s going to happen at the RNC.

Just because well-trodden territory is well-trodden territory doesn’t mean worthwhile things can be found or made from it.

For instance, Edge of Seventeen from writer/director Kelly Fremon starring Hailee Steinfeld follows the crushing teen angst of high school and everything surrounding it. A whole subgenre of this type of movie surely exists on Netflix, but from the looks of the trailer, it might be worth catching.

Bob’s Burgers hasn’t been around as long as The Simpsons or Family Guy, which makes collaborations with hip music acts such as this one like The National and Låpsley covering a song that was on the show originally sung on the show’s 100th episode by H. Jon Benjamin and Kristen Schaal even more impressive.

There’s even a really great music video to go along with it.

If there can be a documentary on the font Helvetica, then certainly someone can do really great stand-up comedy about how all 50 of these United States of America got abbreviated, factually or semi-factually, into the two letter code that we all know and love today.

That someone just happens to be the great Gary Gulman.

Watch him pull of this feat on last night’s Conan.

Netflix Lands Chuck Lorre/David Javerbaum Pot Comedy Series ‘Disjointed’ Starring Kathy Bates

Multicam sitcom mogul Chuck Lorre (Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Dharma and Greg, Mom) plus the brilliant David Javerbaum of The Daily Show, An Act of God, and so much more, plus Kathy Bates plus a pot dispensary equals one of the more intriguing series pick-ups for this entire year.

So many worlds colliding here that we’re very curious to see what they’ll come up with and we don’t have any good guesses as to what it may indeed look like.
