Mac, Dennis, Charlie, Dee, and Frank are all at it again for season 11 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
What are we exactly referring to by “it”?
Well, by now, you should know that it is whatever the worst thing is, it is the gang trying to one up that.
See for yourself in this upcoming season’s teaser, then look for the season premiere on Wed. Jan. 6th on FXx.
Comedy past and present mixed together wonderfully when the legendary John Cleese came on to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Whether it be the interview or a bit, comedy nostalgia is undeniably going to well up when you watch Cleese’s appearance from last night.

Between writing Toy Story 4 and Angie Tribeca, Rashida and Will have found some time to work on another TV show.
Indeed, both writing partners Jones and McCormack are quite busy on projects outside of them creating TV shows, but that hasn’t stopped from bringing a new comedy focusing on best friends, one which is fixated on the idea that she’s dying and the other one having to put up with it, to NBC. Matt Zinman and Craig Gerard, veterans of How I Met Your Mother, are attached as writers.
We’ll be curious to see if there are any echoes of Me and Earl and The Dying Girl that come up here.
Following their two-part SXSW Comedy special, Showtime has got another comedy special that you should be on the look out for from Jermaine Fowler.
Give’em Hell Kid will be Jermaine’s first hour special and will also feature one-on-one interviews from those closest to Jermaine, which should be a whole bunch of fun considering how much Jermaine talks about his family in his act.
Here’s a teaser. After that, look for its premiere on Fri. Dec. 11th at 9PM on Showtime.
All of you sure have got your comedy album binge listening cut out for you today.
What a day today is with Ian Karmel’s 9.2 on Pitchfork, Emily Heller’s Good For Her, Sean Donnelly’s Manual Labor Face, and Ron Funches’ The Funches of Us all being released.
All of them are definitely worth your time and money as we’ve stated before here, here, here, and here, respectively.
OK, you should probably get to buying and listening already. There’s a lot of comedy for your ears to feast on.
You will never catch Jon Glaser during a late night appearance without him wearing something outlandish as part of some outlandish character he’s doing.
Turns out that one of his get ups during an appearance on The Tonight Show became kind of a pitch for what it is now Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter, coming to Adult Swim this fall.
Jon explains how this happened on this latest Tonight Show appearance, of course, dressed in a neon suit.
Last night’s No, You Shut Up! with Paul F. Tompkins election special had a particularly big announcement from the one and only Patton Oswalt.
Apparently, the 2016 election has a new horse in the race as Patton Oswalt has “announced” that he’s running for president. Now, everyone will probably have to step up their crazy even more.
Watch his “announcement” here.

So, clear out four hours on your schedule this weekend like you know you want to.
Or, more realistically, clear out four hours just for today where you can watch John Mulaney’s new hour stand-up special The Comeback Kid and all 5 episodes, spanning three hours, of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross’ With Bob & David on Netflix in one go.
If you do, for once, Friday the 13th will be funnier than it is scary.

Unlike the half time show, Stephen Colbert and James Corden won’t have to pay for their airtime.
Everyone knows that the commercials for The Super Bowl, the most regularly watched TV event in human history. Similarly, the slot that follows the awarding of the Vince Lombardi is also highly coveted as its guaranteed high ratings.
Often networks use that slot to introduce new shows, but CBS, in their tenure of having the Super Bowl on their network, will opt to go with special episodes of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden on Feb. 7th.
This will be the first time that late night has brought up the rear for The Super Bowl on a major network, so don’t be surprised if Colbert and Corden pull out all the stops for it.
As you saw this morning, Colbert just went all out for the Happy Birthday song and Corden has done entire episodes from strangers houses. So, just imagine what they’ll do with this episode.
In addition to Emily Heller’s Good For Her, Kill Rock Stars is also putting another great comedy album, Ian Karmel’s 9.2 on Pitchfork.
This is Ian’s very first comedy album and it leaves a damn fine impression of Karmel and his stand-up. The hour weaves through every bit of Ian and gets quite personal, but Ian’s upbeat spirit and colorful attention to detail makes for one fun ride. Certainly, we think music tastemakers Pitchfork should entertain a special case for their rating system as the title of this album subtly suggests.
9.2 on Pitchfork comes out tomorrow, but if you’re really hankering for it, you can pre-order it from Kill Rock Stars here.

Yep, Angela Kinsey might be headed back to an office.
Whether doing accounting at a paper company or working at a 1-800 call center is more dreadful than the other is up for debate, but Angela Kinsey, who broke out in her role as Angela on the U.S. version of The Office, being in a workplace comedy is always a good thing.
Taking from her own experience working at a call center, Kinsey is writing this comedy, aptly named 1-800, for TBS, which is going under a whole makeover right now.
She might star in it, though we can’t imagine that if she does that she’d be nearly anything like Dunder Mifflin’s Angela.
We can only hope that will get to see in order to find out.
Filmmaker Thomas R. Wood has gotten together the likes of Kyle Kinane, Beth Stelling, Brent Weinbach, Brooks Wheelan, and more for a new web series.
Is it one where all of these hysterical comedians are doing comedy? Nope.
Outside Comedy will delve into what they do outside of their job as a comedian, arguably the thing that keeps them sane.
Intrigued? Of course you are. Watch a trailer for the series here.
These are our ‘you better watch our mother-trucking new show tonight’ faces… 10pm ET on @ThisIsFusion! pic.twitter.com/a2zXtEfC68
Can’t make heads or tails of that last GOP presidential debate? Don’t try to.
Just let Paul F. Tompkins and his cadre of puppet pundits on No, You Shut Up! show you just how non-sensical this particular election has gotten in another NYSU election special. Also, Patton Oswalt will be a special guest for all the tomfoolery that’s sure to ensue.
Watch it on Fusion tonight at 10PM.

January 2016 will be a busy month for FX’s comedy schedule.
On Wed. Jan. 6th, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia will premiere its 11th season at 10PM and Man Seeking Woman will kick off its sophomore season right after at 10:30PM all on FX.
On the flagship channel, FX, the highly anticipated Baskets starring Zach Galifianakis as someone who dreams of being a clown, will have its series premiere later in the month on Thurs. Jan. 21st at 10PM.
Mark your calendar now or just wait for the inevitable roll out of teaser, trailers, and another reminder from us probably.
Kurt Braunohler was invited back to perform on The Tonight Show, which hopefully means that he’ll be one of the handfuls of stand-ups that get to do the show several times over the years for how damn funny Kurt is.
Watch his latest set here.
As the Happy Birthday Song is now public domain, Stephen Colbert and The Late Show have not only tasked themselves with making a special recording of the song for us all with the one and only Darlene Love, but he’s doing so for pretty much each and every one of us.
He’s made an entire channel on YouTube that one could use to wish Happy Birthday to someone with that spans over 1,200 names and counting. If you’re name isn’t there, Stephen is even taking name suggestions to make this Late Show Birthday channel as comprehensive as possible.
Though it’s not our birthday today, this is a pretty great present from The Late Show all year round.

This is a banner weekend for NYC’s Sean Donnelly.
He just notched in a set on Conan last night. has his album “Manual Labor Face” coming out this Friday on nearly all major digital platforms including CC:Stand-Up Direct and has his half-hour special premiering on Comedy Central the very next night, Sat. Nov. 14th, at midnight.
Sean is an increasingly rare breed of comedian that attacks with his jokes relentlessly on stage, all while laughing and smiling the whole way through. His rambunctious persona is infectious whether it be his material, crowd work, or riffing and his late night appearance, album and special should all prove that to any and all.
So, with that said, you have plenty of Sean Donnelly to get into.
(via Deadline)
Also, the new Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is attached to produce.
Comedian Max Silvestri has just sold NBC its latest single camera project, giving us a little more encouragement for their comedy development slate outside of Seeso. Relative Success, which Max wrote, will center on the blurring of personal and professional lines between brothers that just happen to be a successful author and book editor.
We loved Max’s work on the web series Gabe & Max Need Help and have no doubt that this will be very promising
For years, Screen Junkies has amassed a gigantic fan base with their various series including Honest Trailers.
With over a billion views of their YouTube channel and nearly 5 million subscribers, they’re not only getting expanded, but also having that expansion be for subscribers.
That’s right. A YouTube channel that is focused on a comedic breakdown of movies and TV from every angle possible is getting its own subscription streaming service.
Screen Junkies Plus will offer several new series with all of your favorite Screen Junkies pundits including a scripted show “Interns of F.I.E.L.D., a show that imagines after credits scenes for movies that don’t have them, another one that ponders how certain movies hold up years after its theatrical release, and much much more exclusive content/swag/etc.
If you’re already hooked in, Screen Junkies Plus launches next week on Nov. 17th for $4.99 per month.
Of course, there’s a trailer with epic movie voice guy for this announcement.

Kitty Sanchez is finally in control of things.
Judy Greer has made a career off of being a comedic supporting actress, so much so that she wrote a book about it called I Don’t Know What You Know Me From.
Now, she’s going on to the directorial side of things with her first feature film as a director, “A Happening of Monumental Proportions”. Besides knowing that Allison Janney and Common will star and there will be dead bodies and sex at a school, there isn’t much else to go off of, but we’re more than intrigued to see what Greer comes up with.

The Jon Benjamin Has a Van gang is at it again.
IFC is “sexing” up their development slate with a project from Leo Allen and H. Jon Benjamin, who last worked together on the unfortunately short lived Jon Benjamin Has a Van.
Allen and Benjamin have created a series where Jon will narrate varied tales of passion, lust, and romance that he has nothing to do with or will ever get to take part in.
If you’re familiar at all with any of Benjamin’s work, you’ll be crossing your fingers that this will be something that goes to series soon.

Do you part to make America deep again by catching David Rees incredibly funny and very insightful and educational series Going Deep.
Rees has flyered then posted videos of him flyering on YouTube as much as he can and the least we can do to return the favor is be thoroughly entertained with this second season starting tonight.
