“Reactor with David Huntsberger” Uncovers a VENGE-BOT to Avenge the Death of HitchBOT

August 15, 2015

david huntsberger, hitchBOT, reactor, syfy, venge-bot

Recently, HitchBOT, a Canadian created robot created as a social experiment hitchhiking across the globe, found its end in when destroyed by strangers in Philadelphia.

So, SyFy’s Reactor with David Huntsberger discovered that the parent of HitchBOT was, of course, a VENGE-BOT that, given its name, didn’t take too lightly to their robotic child being beaten to death.

You should also note that, unfortunately, Reactor has been cancelled and this is one of their very last sketches.

However, a robot wreaking havoc almost seems a fitting ending. Watch it here.

NBC Orders Pilot of a DC Comics Universe Workplace Comedy “Powerless”

August 15, 2015

comedy pilot, dc comics, nbc, pilot season, powerless, the office

NBC isn’t kidding around with comedy this pilot season.

Powerless is the latest comedy pilot ordered by NBC from Ben Queen that will follow the lives of the insurance company employees set in the DC Comics universe. Undoubtedly, an insurance company would fittingly have an ungodly workload in a world full of superheroes and supervillains.

Being referenced as The Office with a DC Comics backdrop, would their be an actually sinister Dwight?

If one of your life’s goals or, at the very least, a longtime New Year’s resolution is to screw up a drug deal, let Shawn Pearlman and Dave Horowitz, The Lil’ Cuties, show you how it’s done.

If you wish to not have your drug deals go south, do the opposite of this.

The “Toy Story 4″ Sequel That Rashida Jones and Will McCormack Are Writing Will Be a Love Story

August 14, 2015

pixar, rashida jones, toy story, toy story 4, will mccormack

(via CNBC)

Celeste and Jesse Forever with a different ending as a Toy Story sequel?

The fourth installment of Pixar’s Toy Story franchise will bring back Bo Peep as a love interest for Woody and subsequently explore their romance. With Rashida Jones and Will McCormack penning the script, don’t doubt how much this new Toy Story movie might tug at your heart strings, no matter what age you are.

Certainly, it’ll probably go into less dark territory than Toy Story 3.

Watch Lauren Lapkus Play Jonah Ray’s Sister on “The Meltdown”

August 14, 2015

comedy central, jonah ray, lauren lapkus, the meltdown with jonah and kumail

While you may have no idea who might drop in at The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, you also have no idea might be in the audience.

This particular night, several lucky folks had no idea that Lauren Lapkus would sit next to them and then interrupt the show as Jonah Ray’s sister.

Watch how that played out here.

“Fort Tilden” Out in Theaters and VOD Today

August 14, 2015

bridey elliott, charles rogers, claire mcnulty, fort tilden, sarah violet bliss

If you’re in or around the limited release theaters around the country where Fort Tilden has just opened (it’s playing a few places outside of LA and NYC), please go see it. You can also watch in on VOD from the comfort of wherever you are.

Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers’ millennial odyssey starring Bridey Elliott and Claire McNulty is so damn acerbically funny and genuinely captures so much of what’s enjoyably ridiculous about the generation of today.

If you’re fatigued from the run of big budget tentpole movies this summer, we think you might really dig this.

Watch Maggie Maye on Conan

August 14, 2015

From this teaser, you can see that their glory might end up being pretty funny.

Zach Galifianakis to Play The Joker in ‘LEGO Batman’

August 14, 2015

LEGO, lego batman, lego movie, will arnett, zach galifianakis

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

We’d also be up for watching a live action movie where Will Arnett and Galifianakis go head-to-head too.

The LEGO Movie spin-off, LEGO Batman, has its main cast set with Will Arnett as returning Batman, Michael Cera voicing Robin, and Zach Galifianakis being the voice behind The Joker.

It should be a fun meta-romp through the LEGO Batman universe, but fully expect to see articles sincerely comparing Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, and Galifianakis as The Joker.

“The Tonight Show” to Star Jimmy Fallon Through 2021

August 14, 2015

jimmy fallon, tonight show

With this new contract, Jimmy Fallon now has secured the third longest tenure in Tonight Show history.

Steve Allen, Jack Paar, and Conan O’Brien all did not last longer than 7 years at The Tonight Show and now that NBC has re-upped Jimmy Fallon as the host for another six years, In contrast, Johnny Carson hosted the show for three decades and Jay Leno hosted for a score.

Maybe by 2021, Jimmy Fallon will actually star in an instructional video for an actual Jurassic World.

Eric Andre Pays a Visit to “Why? With Hannibal Buress”

August 13, 2015

comedy central, eric andre, eric andre show, hannibal buress, why? with hannibal buress

Since Hannibal Buress was the sidekick on The Eric Andre Show, it’s only fitting that Eric Andre stop by and chat with Hannibal on his own show, Why? with Hannibal Buress.

It’s also fitting that the visit is a little less than traditional/normal/etc.

“Rick and Morty” Finds an Alien That Can’t Stand to Wreak Havoc on Earth

August 13, 2015

adult swim, rick and morty

Perhaps the question of whether we’re alone in the universe or not is still a mystery because of how truly annoying and selfish humankind can be.

Certainly, Rick and Morty presents the possibility that earth may be the one planet that the rest of the universe, aliens bent on destruction included, can’t stand.

Watch why here.

NBC Orders New Comedies From Mike Schur, Tina Fey and Robert Carlock

August 13, 2015

mike schur, nbc, robert carlock, the good place, tina fey

The prodigal network returns to its best comedy showrunners with ideas that are adjacent to Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock. It’s about time that happened.

NBC has really focused in on dramas leaving comedies by the wayside as of late. With their new comedy slate announced today, they’re hoping to change that.

Mike Schur, Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, the minds behind the aforementioned, Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock, some of NBC’s most decorated comedies in recent memory, have gotten new life at the network.

NBC ordered Schur’s The Good Place that will focus on a woman contending with what being good really entails and a pilot from Fey and Carlock that will follow a mother and her daughter as they work at a cable news network with the mother as an intern.

We sincerely hope that this is the shot in the arm that NBC comedy needs and that’ll play out even better than the series that Schur, Fey, and Carlock brought to the peacock.

Experimental Variety Show “Cool Shit Weird Shit” Bought a Car For Its Audience

August 13, 2015

cool shit weird shit, drew spears, ele woods, experimental, matthew brian cohen, variety show, you get a car

Yes, Drew Spears, Ele Woods, and Matthew Brian Cohen actually bought a used car that needed a smog check for their audience this week.

Thanks to everyone who came out to #coolshitweirdshit! This Instagram is a short photo essay detailing when we gave a car to the audience last night and new friend @ihave2hands got to drive away in it.

A photo posted by Ele Woods (@elewoods55) on Aug 11, 2015 at 11:05am PDT

There’s a great new experimental variety show at UCB called Cool Shit Weird Shit hosted by Spears, Woods, and Cohen where comedians get to perform things that are best presented without precedent and can’t really be tacked on to most shows that are just stand-up, sketch, or improv.

The hosts themselves also do something cool and weird and in the interest of besting, relatively, Oprah’s car giveaway to her audience all those years ago, they actually bought a car to give to the entire audience in attendance at UCB Franklin this past Monday night.

As they could only afford a single car, the crowd will have to share and there was a calendar that was passed around in order to reserve a day to drive the free car.

According to them, there will be some sort of log they’ll be keeping as to the progress of the car. We’ll keep you updated as we get more details.

We can only hope that it fares a better fate than Hitchbot.

Key & Peele Have Got The Best Daytime TV Judge in “Judge Jessie”

August 13, 2015

court tv, judge jessie, key & peele, parody

Odds are that you’ve had a day off or two where you were actually flipping channels on your TV, rather than browsing Netflix, where you’ve gotten to see a daytime court show. All the shows have had very accomplished presiding judges, though often times they’re accomplished in many different fields outside of being a judge.

Key & Peele’s Judge Jessie just happens to be the most experienced one of them all.

Stephen Colbert to Co-Host The 2015 Global Citizen Festival

August 13, 2015

central park, global citizen, global citizen festival, hugh jackman, nyc, stephen colbert

From a Michigan public access show to The Late Show to the co-host of The Global Citizen Festival, Stephen Colbert will have had quite the year.

Only after a couple of weeks of taking helm at The Late Show, Stephen Colbert will co-host the gigantic Global Citzen Festival with Hugh Jackman being held in NYC’s Central Park. The likes of Pearl Jam, Coldplay, Beyonce, and Ed Sheeran will be playing the festival in support of ending global poverty by the year 2030.

Sounds pretty great, huh?

Just watch Colbert make the announcement here and find out what you might need to do to get tickets.

greta gerwig, late night, seth meyers

Hopefully, it comes as no surprise that the star and co-writer of Mistress America is a delight to talk to.

Greta Gerwig is starting to make the rounds on late night in promotion of her latest film that she stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Whether it’s wanting to desperately be on Law & Order or talking self help books, Gerwig shows that she should be on late night way more often.

“Natasha Leggero: Live at Bimbo’s” Premieres This Month

comedy central, comedy special, live at bimbo's, natasha leggero

Natasha Leggero got a new special coming on Aug. 22nd.

Lillian Schmemmerhorn-Fish will take a break from being part of The Bellacourts on Another Period to premiere a brand new hour of stand-up.

Natasha Leggero: Live at Bimbo’s will come out CC: Stand Up Direct on Aug. 17th, then airing on Aug. 22nd at 11PM on Comedy Central.

Even if you’re watching from the comfort of your own home, you should probably dress up.

Forrest MacNeil Tries Reviewing Being a Little Person

August 12, 2015

You might think that Forrest MacNeil/Andy Daly has gone all out for his previous reviews by literally putting himself in harm’s way.

However, this latest review of trying to be a little person pushes Forrest to get more inventive than he has ever before.

Antenna TV To Air Reruns of “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson”

August 12, 2015

antenna tv, johnny carson, nbc, tonight show

Because of “The Tonight Show” still currently running on NBC, they have to call it “Johnny Carson” though.

Those still that fondly reminisce of the probably still the biggest figure in late night history, Johnny Carson, will get to reminisce a little more vividly now as Antenna TV has secured the rights to air full episodes of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson starting Jan. 1st, 2016. Given how so many shows are being brought back from the dead, this is a probably a pretty good bet on Antenna’s part.

Also, it’ll air nightly in line with the rest of late night, going up against Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O’Brien, and Trevor Noah, starting at 11PM.

Carson’s run came from 1972-1992 and we’re curious to see how much of it would hold up in 2015. We’re guessing more of the show than you might think would after decades of it being off the air.

Here’s The Trailer for “Addicted to Fresno” Where Natasha Lyonne and Judy Greer Play Dysfunctional Sisters Dealing with a Dead Body

August 12, 2015

addicted to fresno, judy greer, natasha lyonne, trailer

Natasha Lyonne and Judy Greer play dysfunctional sisters who end up working together as maids that have to figure out what to do with a dead body all in Fresno, CA.

That’s an incredibly enticing premise for Addicted to Fresno, which shows promise in this trailer.

Also, take note of how Natasha Lyonne has really risen above American Pie from the last millennium and is kind of killing it right now.
