Peter from The Mindy Project and Toby from The Office are working on a spy comedy.
Fox’s latest addition to their comedy development slate will be a spy comedy from Adam Pally and Paul Lieberstein, written by Paul and Jon Gabrus. There aren’t much details as of right now, but the possibility of Gabrus starring makes us think of something along the lines of Paul Feig’s Spy.
As a crowd as a live comedy show might say in response, “How bad is the Syrian Refugee Crisis?”
Let the jokes of John Oliver and Last Week Tonight clue you in as their main segment focuses on the crisis as well as many European countries mishandling of it and using soap operas to put a nice hopeful bow on the whole piece.
When doing over a score of years in comedy, one faces the balance of maintaining the comedic voice that you’ve cultivated coming up in your career and then staying ahead or on the curve of what’s going on with comedy in the current moment.
Very few comedians have done that so well as Wayne Federman has. Through every decade that he has done comedy, Wayne manages to find a way to somehow keep shining through.
The Chronicles of Wayne Federman, which features performances all the way back from 1984 to 2015 at anywhere from Bing Theater at USC to Catch a Rising Star to the Throckmorton Theater to Nerdmelt to Largo to The Comic Strip and way more, will showcase how Federman pulled off such an impossible feat.
It comes out Oct. 16th from AST Records, but you can and should pre-order it here.

At the stroke of 11PM, it’ll be hard to miss the new Daily Show.
The restart of one of Comedy Central’s pillars, The Daily Show, comes tonight as the show’s third host, Trevor Noah sits behind the desk that millions watch Jon Stewart night in and night out for well over a decade.
As this is such a momentous occasion, Viacom, which owns Comedy Central, is going to have the premiere air across all their networks including MTV and VH1.
While that’s certainly going to boost their ratings, there will undoubtedly be a whole bunch of folks that watch the episode online afterwards.
Still, if you’re looking to watch the premiere live, tune into Comedy Central at 11PM for the inaugural episode of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Comedy Dynamics has had a great string of releases recently including albums from Kevin McDonald and Seaton Smith. Nore Davis’ recently released, sophomore album Away Game is also a part of that Comedy Dynamics streak.
Away Game serves as a very solid, appropriately titled follow-up to his debut album Home Game. Nore’s charm on stage is infectious, making his perspective on his own life in his material a pleasure to listen to. Going from ‘Home’ to ‘Away’, you get another great snapshot of Nore’s recent life, coupled with anxieties that naturally come around when you’re a little older, from the same very funny Nore.
So, get and give a listen to Away Game on Amazon or iTunes.
7:30PM to 10PM would be a pretty great time to be tuned into Fox tonight.
Fox’s primetime line-up tonight is wholly taken up by their power house comedy line-up as follows:
7:30PM-Season 6 premiere of Bob’s Burgers
8PM-Season 27 premiere of The Simpsons
8:30PM-Season 3 premiere of Brooklyn Nine-Nine
9PM-Season 14 premiere of Family Guy
9:30PM-Season 2 premiere of Last Man on Earth
Adjust your schedule/DVR accordingly.
You might want to be in Seattle near the end of October.
With plenty of albums of subversive pop comedy hits under their belt, many would think that Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci might have already just done an hour comedy special by now.
However, that is not the case and Garfunkel and Oates are correcting that next month.
Riki and Kate will be shooting their first hour long special live at The Neptune Theatre in Seattle on Fri. Oct. 23rd at 7:30PM and 10:30PM. You can and should get tickets here, especially since there will be kazoos.

The approach to stand-up from a sketch background is always interesting one. More often than not, sketch comedy folks try to find the tropes in stand-up and then point out how taken for granted in their supposed, inherent humor they often are.
The Kids in the Hall’s Kevin McDonald makes this dynamic very clear right from the get go on his live comedy album Making Faces, which also features sketches in case you were wondering. McDonald messes with the dichotomy between stand-up and sketch making for a surprising fun album.
Get Making Faces here to see what we’re talking about.

Along with the Jim Carrey 70s LA comedy scene project, Showtime seems to be getting into period pieces right now.
HBO has got enjoy a plethora of critical and commercial success with their comedies as of late with Veep, Silicon Valley, and Girls. We can only imagine that Showtime wants to join more in the premium cable comedy boom, probably prompting some really interesting projects that they’ve put in development.
NYC’s Meatpacking district in the 80s will be the setting for a project entitled Florent from Alan Cumming. It follows a period of real life restauranteur Florent Morellet wherein he opened a french restaurant in the aforementioned district, known for the crazy melting pot of people that crowded around it.
It’s really early in the process, but there are a lot of good ingredients at work here.
Brian Regan is set to make comedy and TV history on Sept. 26th, 2015, (i.e. tonight).
Brian Regan and Comedy Central are doing their first ever completely live stand-up special tonight, broadcasting from Radio City Music Hall in NYC.
Starting at 9PM EST/6PDT on Comedy Central, do yourself a favor and either watch the highlights of whatever sporting even you were planning on watching or DVR whatever else you were planning on watching.
It might seem like a high wire act doing an hour live on TV, but Regan is undoubtedly one of the few that could pull it off.
For decades now, the ‘yo mama’ joke has been used time and time again to insult the matriarch of someone’s family in a verbal fight that has often turned to childlike tactics.
However, as with all forms of expression, subtlety, nuance, and more get worked in and often turn the original idea of something like a yo mama joke on its head.
Emily Maya Mills has brought us that kind of modern yo mama joke. Watch her tell it here at The Super Serious Show.

Even though she was great in Greenberg, which is set in LA, Greta Gerwig is the go to NYC indie dramedy darling.
Frances Ha, Mistress America, and Lola Versus all follow Gerwig as she is going through some tumultuous phase of her life while in NYC and it’s proved to be a winning formula.
So, in this latest edition of Greta in NYC called Maggie’s Plan from Rebecca Miller, Gerwig gets into a love triangle with a couple played by Ethan Hawke and Julianne Moore and decides that she wants to be artificially inseminated as part of complicating the whole relationship.
It was playing at The Toronto International Film Festival and got snatched up for distribution by Sony Pictures Classics. We’d definitely like to see it in theaters soon as we’re still in the afterglow of how great Mistress America was.
YouTube channel, The Bew, has relaunched the series Best of Craigslist from where it started on Funny or Die where real Craigslist ads get reenacted in the best possible way.
Case in point: the amazing Beth Stelling reenacting a Craigslist ad posted by a woman for an all male grooming circle.
Watch and enjoy it here.
We’re not sure whether it’s the fates or it was intentional, but it was great to see the likes of living comedy legend Mel Brooks, rising star Jerrod Carmichael, and delightful upstart James Corden on The Late Late Show all together, spanning several decades of comedy.
Even more wonderful than that is the fact they bonded over doing a time-honored bit.

It might just get to the point where you’ll hear Amy Poehler’s name in the executive producer side of things as much as you would with sitcom power brokers Bill Lawrence or Chuck Lorre.
She’s already got Broad City and Difficult People on the resume of her Paper Kite Productions and two recent pilot commitments bump her up to three pilots total for Paper Kite this pilot season alone. Jordan Roter and Nisha Ganatra have put pilot commitments under the Paper Kite banner, respectively, for Aunt Jill at ABC and Pre-Madonna at NBC. Roter’s Aunt Jill will star Mo Collins, who many will remember as Parks and Recreation’s Joan Callamezzo.
This is on top of her still being on screen and having her online brand Smart Girls. If you already though Poehler was a force to be reckoned with, take note that she’s now just going ahead and reckoning with the biz.
Our latest inebriated history lesson from the good folks over at Drunk History comes from narrator Crissle West with Octavia Spencer playing the most badass depiction of Harriet Tubman to date.
Today’s rap videos wish they had this much swagger coupled with a sense of justice.
Watch what Tubman should also be known for besides the Underground Railroad here.

Benders and Gigi Does It, IFC’s two latest series, don’t have their premiere until next Thurs. on Oct. 1st at 10PM and 10:30PM, respectively.
However, IFC is being very generous by having a sneak preview of both shows following the hour long season finale of Documentary Now! tonight starting at 11PM.
In fact, they’re even being more generous by even offering both preview episodes on YouTube for your convenience to watch this instant or whenever you please.
Watch full length preview episodes of Benders and Gigi Does It thanks to IFC here and here.
Ahmed Mohamed, who was a student that was wrongfully arrested for suspected of building a bomb when he was building a clock, was a guest of Larry Wilmore’s on last night’s Nightly Show.
Throughout the interview, it’s fun to see all the tricks Larry has up his sleeve to get a great interview from a kid’s first time on TV following national controversy.
Comedy Dynamics’ latest album release, Bologna Meat, comes from Seaton Smith who puts his crackling and bursting energy on display throughout.
Equally impressive, he flows through his material, stops on a dime, disarmingly chuckles, and then gets back to bringing some urgency into the mic no matter whether he’s talking about sex or politics.
Pick up a copy and listen to it here.
