We really like that Netflix chose Tom Segura for their first comedy special release of 2016.
Netflix announced that they’re going global and expanding their content far beyond what they even did last year. So, they’ve got the hysterical Tom Segura and his latest hour special Mostly Stories starting off what’s sure to be another trailblazing, landmark year for Netflix.
Watch Mostly Stories on Netflix here.

As it is now with every season of Arrested Development, it’s contingent on the cast’s availability.
Because of what’s going in the world, specifically Trump and Making a Murderer, Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz feels it imperative to get on season 5 of the series as soon as he can as he wants the parallels that the Bluth family have with the chaos of the real world right now to stay timely. While it’s outlined, the actual scripts have yet to be written.
Hurwitz is holding off on the negotiations for the highly in demand cast. In the past year, you’ve probably seen just Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor, Alia Shawkat, Michael Cera and David Cross in a multitude of different shows and movies. As soon as all the t’s are crossed and i’s dotted, he’ll try to outpace the crazy of Trump and whatever else is screwed up with our justice system leading up to the general election in November.
With that all of being said, this is probably the best indication of the odds being in favor of the next season of ‘Arrested’ actually happening.
Ironically enough, getting guest and recurring cast members for Arrested Development never seems to be a problem.
Looks like grounded, unflinching looks into family, relationships, love, sex, etc. are not going away in TV comedy. There’s You’re the Worst, Transparent, and Catastrophe in addition to The Duplass Brothers’ Togetherness that all do the above so well.
By the way, Jay Duplass stars in Transparent and Mark Duplass stars in Togetherness on top of working the behind the scenes with his brother just in case you want to know Jay and Mark’s imprint on this sub genre.
Here’s a trailer for season 2 of Togetherness, which promises things are only going to get more off the rails.
Look for the premiere on Sun. Feb. 21st at 10:30PM on HBO.
You can get in on the experiment here.
Comedy specials from Rory Scovel and Matt Besser, Kids in the Hall, SNL, Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, Before the Morning After, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, 30 Rock, The Office, The World of Alan Partridge, Funny as Hell, Brazil, Fletch, Monty Python (series and films), The UCB Show, and oh so much more are now available at the convenience of some keystrokes, some clicking, and $3.99 a month now that Seeso, NBC’s exclusive comedy streaming service has officially launched.
In case you weren’t already enticed, you can sign-up for Seeso here.
ICYMI: Selina Meyer and the rest of the #Veep gang return to @HBO April 24. Who have you missed most? pic.twitter.com/h1Dyd97CsD
Mark your calendars or make an event reminder or whatever else you do to make sure that remember that both Veep returns for its fifth season and Silicon Valley for its third season Sun. night on Apr. 24th.
It might even be worthy of actually catching both when they air as opposed to watching it on HBO GO or HBO Now.
#SiliconValley Season 3 premieres April 24th on @HBO.

Katie Nolan has an inspirational speech, delivered like all your favorite sports and TV movie coach speeches, to inspire losers the world round to keep losing if that’s your goal for some reason.
It’s mostly intended for the 3-13 Cleveland Browns, but it really could apply to any sort of career loser.
Watch her timeless words for those who prefer take a dive as opposed to accomplishing anything of merit on Garbage Time here.
We’ll keep saying it because we can’t really emphasize the point quite enough: Rory Scovel is one of the best stand-up comedians working today.
That’s why a) you should watch this set and interview from last night’s Conan where he killed and b) you should get Seeso, so you can watch his hour special, The Charleston Special, that just started streaming on the new NBC comedy streaming service .

Just like Charlie has “Charlie Work” (i.e. demeaning, gross tasks that no one else at the bar wants to do) on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, this latest season of the show has Andy Buckley doing Andy work (i.e. work that Charlie is too dumb, scared, and ignorant to do), unsurprisingly at the behest of Charlie.
(via The Wrap)
It’s really worked for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Why wouldn’t it work for Sam Bee?
Skipping out on the traditional panel interview of almost every late night talk show and focusing on topics and stories that tend to get less media attention are the game plan for Full Frontal according to its host Samantha Bee at the TCA Winter Press Tour.
Another Daily Show alum, John Oliver, has seen pretty great success also shifting away from both copying The Daily Show as well as the traditional late night format.
What we’re really amped for is Bee’s third act that she says will be called “our world of whimsy”. It’s anything goes part of the show, which we hope is along the lines of her one woman show for The Five.
Though it has yet to be fleshed out into full feature length script, we’d absolutely be into reading the whole thing.
As if the idea of comedian Steve Agee being a Dracula on the weekend wasn’t ridiculous and amazing enough on its own, Agee left a party with an overly formal sounding goodbye which left some friends, notably Ben Acker and Ben Blacker of Thrilling Adventure Hour fame, and Mark McConville from Superego to suggest that Steve write a Steve Agee’s Weekend Dracula.
Read it here.
Given the positive response already, we wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a short film, sketch, web video, etc. soon that brings these words to life.
Once a network that you primarily just knew for Conan, TBS is looking to start anew in this ever changing landscape of TV, especially when it comes to comedy.
So, with the likes of an entire new line-up of shows including the Steve and Nancy Carell’s Angie Tribeca, Jason Jones’ The Detour, People of Earth from Conaco, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Search Party from Charles Rogers and Sarah Violet Bliss (the duo behind Fort Tilden), and Wrecked.
From the looks of this trailer that rundowns this new line-up, they might have a good shot at finding a new niche.
(via Variety)
We sincerely hope that Film Independent lets Kate and Kumail get as weird and crazy as they want.
The choice of hosts in this year’s awards season are really intriguing. From TJ Miller set to host The Critics’ Choice Awards to Ricky Gervais returning for The Golden Globes to now, Kate McKinnon, one of SNL’s current best, and Kumail Nanjiani (who we hope you know from Silicon Valley, The Meltdown with Jonah & Kumail, and Portlandia) getting ready to host The Film Independent Spirit Awards.
The ceremony will be broadcast live on IFC on Sat. Feb. 27th, which we’re sure will make for some damn good fun with Kate and Kumail at the helm.
TruTV is smartly putting their money on some of the strongest shows in their programming line-up.
Though moving around a few places over the years, Billy on the Street proved that it’ll hold up at TruTV and is getting a fifth season with ten episodes of Billy Eichner screaming pop culture trivia and running in the streets.
Even more impressive is freshman series Adam Ruins Everything with Adam Conover getting 14 more episodes on the back end of their first season.
In addition to all of that, Emily Axford, who is frequently featured on Adam Ruins Everything, is going to host a pilot currently called No Dumb Questions that will see if people know the answers to questions that most would consider obvious, possibly even dumb.
TBS is really showing their cards this week by not only announcing that their latest series order comes from Conan O’Brien’s Conaco for People of Earth starring Wyatt Cenac, but releasing a teaser for the alien abduction support group comedy.
It’s clear to see that they’re turning a new leaf by going more into single-camera and getting weirder than they’ve ever been and we’re excited to see how far they go in that direction.
10PM on IFC.
After years of seeming to be over, Todd Margaret found a way to return for a 3rd season, as well as go by Todd Margaret instead of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.
David Cross says the 3rd season came about because of how crazy and great the idea for it was. So, tonight, we all can find out what exactly Todd Margaret’s writers came up with despite how season 2 ended.

Earlier today, Comedy Central furthered two of their most current critically acclaimed series, Broad City and Inside Amy Schumer. The network is poised to have yet another female led program with Not Safe with Nikki Glaser that could make for a great power trio of really funny people hosting series that just happen to be women on their schedule.
Nikki was great in her first outing on TV with Nikki & Sara Live and we can’t wait to see how she attacks the notion of what’s “not safe” from her comedic perspective.
Watch a teaser for Not Safe with Nikki Glaser here, then look for the series premiere on Tues. Feb. 9th.
Some of you might not remember that a score ago, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Alex Borstein, Ike Barinholtz, Bobby Lee, Will Sasso, Mo Collins, and way more were all on one sketch variety show together.
That show was called MADtv and, tonight, The CW is doing a special honoring the show’s 20th Anniversary with the cast.
If you want to see what brought all these folks before they hit it really, really big, tune into The CW at 8PM.
10PM on FXx.
Season 11 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and season 2 of Man Seeking Woman are premiering tonight at FXx and represent a solid comedy block on Wednesdays for the network.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is at 10PM and Man Seeking Woman is on at 10:30PM. Tune in, DVR, or wait for it stream accordingly.

Guess Comedy Central heard how much the world loved Amy Schumer, Abbi Jacobson, and Ilana Glazer.
As Comedy Central is in a current golden age with the likes of Nathan For You, Review, and Drunk History in addition to Inside Amy Schumer and Broad City, it just stands to reason that they would keep that going.
So, Broad City got picked up for two more seasons, which would bring Abbi and Ilana’s misadventures in the Big Apple to seasons 4 and 5 and got a mini series called Time Traveling Bong written by their writers Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs.
Comedy Central also announce that Inside Amy Schumer got its fifth season today and we can only imagine that Schumer is going to build off of the milestone year that she had in 2015 with her groundbreaking series.
From California to NY and probably more, David Cross is finally embarking on his Making America Great Again! tour starting on Jan. 26th and going through Apr. 24th at least.
Find out where he’ll playing nearest to you (odds are you’re close to one of the dozens of cities on the tour) and get tickets here.
Of course, Conan O’Brien’s first remote segment of 2016 is so damn funny as all his remotes are so damn funny.
This time, Conan helps a Team Coco staffer Diana Chang get ready for her driving test and brings along experienced driving instructors(?) Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. The results probably have overprepared Diana and give us the Ice Cube that the country got into from the first Friday.
Watch it all here.
