Every time Charlyne Yi goes on Conan, it’s a kind of special collection of moments reminiscent of how fun late night interviews can be with the right guest and host clicking on all cylinders.
Charlyne talking about her covert wedding plans and various impressions, both good and bad, make for yet another such appearance.
Transparent got so many accolades and honors on top of it being a culturally groundbreaking in its first season that it seems like it has many more seasons under its belt.
Yet, Jill Soloway’s brilliant Transparent is set to stream its second season on Amazon on Fri. Dec. 11th.
If this teaser is any indication, the series will pick up right where they left off.

Emily Heller’s album Good For Her is another reason why this Friday is going to be a great day for comedy releases. Off of the same label, Kill Rock Stars, Ian Karmel and her are both releasing albums on that day just so you know.
Good For Her tours the mind of Emily Heller with all of its eccentricities structured very neatly into several bits that are both personal, yet also playful. A whole chunk on the multiple layers in which Frasier figures Emily’s life, both literally and metaphorically, is a pretty great example of that.
You can now pre-order Good For Her along with a T-shirt that has “Horny For Heller” printed on it for a Nov. 13th release. Also, if you’re one of the first 50 people to put an order for a CD, actual “googly eyes” will be glued on.
While this looks like it’s a sort of contest that you’re supposed to win, everybody wins when Billy Eichner guides Amy Sedaris through several Shondaland, inspired obstacles that chronicle Shonda Rhimes TV empire, on Billy on the Street.
Watch it all really happen here.

Just take a look at both of these gorgeous visages and try telling us that you’re not entranced and will most definitely will go see Zoolander 2 when it comes out.
Brad Hall has dedicated his life to unboxing shoes to the point where he’s had to make some major sacrifices.
Apparently, the adidas Ultra Boost is worth it.
Well, we shouldn’t to have say any more than MST3K creator Joel Hodgson wants to bring back MST3K and is doing so through Kickstarter to get you excited.
However, we will say this: Hodgson has set up a deadline of Dec. 11th for a goal of $2,000,000 for three feature length episodes and a couple million many more episodes and in the time it took to watch the Kickstarter video above and writing this post, we saw over $20,000 contributed.
So, people are excited for it.
Get in on bringing back Mystery Science Theater 3000 here.

Given Fox’s track record with animated series and Lord and Miller along with Wilfred’s Reed Agnew and Eli Jorne, Son of Zorn has a whole lot going for it.
Jason Sudeikis will be the voice of Zorn in a comedy that follows a legendary warrior reconnecting with his family played by Cheryl Hines and Johnny Pemberton, but also having to settle down to the normal 9 to 5 like so many of the rest of us.
Hopefully, this will deliver on how promising it sounds.
In case you weren’t sure how Disney Pixar was going to make you have all the feels of laughing all the way to heartbreak after the release of The Good Dinosaur, rest assured that they have got you covered.
Let nostalgia and emotions swell up in you as you watch the teaser to the sequel to Finding Nemo, Finding Dory.
On the eve of Fallout 4′s release, Conan O’Brien had last night’s Conan tricked out Fallout style.
Not only was there a new episode of Clueless Gamer where he reviewed the game in his own non-gamer way with gamer Aaron Bleyaert, but he made a special intro and got into costume especially for the game.
Needless to say, pretty much any other Fallout 4 review need not apply.

This week is particularly big week for comedy releases. One of the reasons for that is the great Ron Funches album The Funches of Us is set to come out on Fri. Nov. 13th from Comedy Dynamics.
We actually got to see one of the nights on the weekend he was recording the album at Comedy Works in Denver and we can confidently say that you’re all in for solid comedy gold.
While we know a week is more than awhile to wait for this new Funches drop, you can preview Funches of Us here.
Henry Phillips has a new episode of our favorite disaster cooking show Henry’s Kitchen just in time for Thanksgiving.
If, for some reason, you’re itching to have a vegetarian friendly turducken, Henry’s not only got the recipe for you, but some advice on how to treat an airbnb guest if you’re doing that sort of thing in your studio apartment.
Watch and learn, sort of, here.

Gettin’ Rad just got a whole lot radder.
Adam and Naomi Scott’s Gettin’ Rad Productions have just sold Deep S.I.X., which seems to be a comedic cross between Homeland and Ghost Adventures from writer Anthony King, and Donuthead, which will delve in detail into the anxieties of an 11-year old from writer Irene Mecchi, at HBO and NBC, respectively.
While they’re not calling this The Greatest Event in Television History, selling two shows to two different networks, one being premium cable and the other being broadcast network, at the same time is pretty great.
(via Variety)
Not only is it a sitcom following an ex-convict, but one that ends up being an in-home health aide.
The great comedic forces of Elizabeth Laime, Casey Wilson, and June Diane Raphael are coming together for an intriguing addition to ABC’s comedy development slate. Laime is writing what is called Crystal and Wilson and Raphael are attached as producers, which serves as good cause to keep a close eye on this project.
Hopefully, we won’t be getting our hopes in vain like we did when ABC had a pilot with June Diane Raphael, Kristen Schaal, and Jenny Slate.
Much of the look and feel of BoJack Horseman that so many folks, us included, have been bewitched by is thanks to the massive talents of Lisa Hanawalt.
At this year’s XOXO Festival, Lisa told the story of how her obsessions and impulses found their way to being the much celebrated production designer of BoJack Horseman.
Watch it and you’ll have no doubt that the absolute right person is overseeing how BoJack is animated.
After a tumultuous journey with his sitcom at Fox, John Mulaney made a return to the thing that put him on the map in the first place: stand up.
This new hour stand-up special coming to Netflix, The Comeback Kid, should prove that John Mulaney is still one of those funniest comedians around.
You can get your first glimpse of it here and here, then look for its release on Netflix this Fri. Nov. 13th.

If you’re anywhere near SF in a couple of weeks, go to this.
California has gotten to enjoy the uplifting, joyful, and honest comedy of Chris Garcia for a good while. Chris has also gotten tour the country, and recently, across the globe, but, surprisingly, has yet to have an album where more folks can get in on the Garcia we know and love.
Now, Chris is going to record his very first comedy album at The Punch Line Comedy Club in San Francisco on Nov. 17th & Nov. 18th at 8PM. If you can go, definitely get tickets here and/or here.
After watching this, you’ll wish that Michelle conducted all your interviews.
Michelle Wolf is one of the best parts of Late Night with Seth Meyers and you can see her live up to that in her new web series over at Comedy Central, Now Hiring with Michelle Wolf.
Basically, Michelle tries to interview people for a tech company in an unorthodox, perhaps unprecedented way.
Watch these five episodes of Now Hiring released this week at Comedy Central now.
Yes, they’re accepting submissions for web series and “alternative digital content”.
Los Angeles’ own highly touted LA Film Festival is coming up in June 2016 and they’re now taking submissions. While they have traditional categories of feature films, short films, and documentaries, they’re also be accepting, with some caveats, various web videos/series/digital content that we’re sure you all have.
The early deadline is Nov. 20th, the official deadline is Dec. 14th, and the late deadline is Jan. 15th.
