“Maron” Shows What Trying To Pick an Agent Can Be Like
As you’ve probably gathered from even watching a clip of Entourage, dealing with entertainment agencies can be difficult. Even if you’re just picking one to have represent you in order to move your career forward, trying to figure which one is best is sometimes like trying to pick between apples and other apples of similar, but different shades.
This clip from Maron gives a pretty good estimation of that experience.
Norm MacDonald Performs His Final Set and Gives a Very Heartfelt Goodbye on Letterman
For all the antics and absurd things that Norm MacDonald says and does, a moment of 100% irony free, tender sentiment from him is priceless and rare.
However, in the beginning of a valediction to David Letterman on last night’s Late Show, Norm got really vulnerable and took his time, not for comedic effect, to express his gratitude for Dave and all that he’s done for comedy as well as his favorite Letterman joke.
Norm also had a nice, great stand-up set too.

Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster Talk “The Best Show” on Late Night with Seth Meyers
The Best Show’s Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster got to sit down and chat with Seth Meyers about the history of The Best Show.
This includes fake and real callers to their show and how Tom will handle them or just hang up.
After this appearance, we’re curious what sort of callers The Best Show will get now and how weird they’ll be.
Jon Stewart Gives a Farewell to David Letterman
The Daily Show is off next week, so Jon Stewart paid his respect to David Letterman last night before Dave leaves The Late Show.
There were touching parting words from Jon and a clip from one of Letterman as a guest on The Jon Stewart Show.
NBC’s Charity Variety Special “Red Nose Day” Will Have Will Ferrell, Jack Black, More
(via Deadline)
Pardcast-a-thon helps cleft palates, Night of Too Many Stars helps autism programs, and NBC’s Red Nose Day will help fight child poverty.
Next Thurs., NBC’s primetime block will be dedicated to a star-studded live charity events which will feature appearances by Will Ferrell, Neil Patrick Harris, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Jack Black, Julia Roberts, and Jennifer Aniston just to name a few as well as segments from Funny or Die.
Several charity organizations focused on giving aid to children living in poverty throughout the world will be benefitted from this night.
We wonder if they’ll have a celebrity filled phone bank like Night of Too Many Stars. Catch Red Nose Day on NBC, Thurs. May 21st 8PM EST.
John Early and Kate Berlant Have a “Dinner Party”, Kind Of
John Early and Kate Berlant together are a comedy duo to be reckoned with, though in a layered, nuanced way.
Having dinner with them is no different as you can see in this short film starring and written by them and directed by Andrew DeYoung.
Watch “Dinner Party” here.
Here’s The “Rick and Morty” Simpsons Couch Gag
This Sunday, the Rick and Morty couch gag that was announced last year, will finally air on the new episode of The Simpsons.
You can actually watch the couch gag right here and now and see how perfectly it crosses the two series, which might be enough to hold you over until July 26th when new episodes of Rick and Morty start back up on Adult Swim.
Tom Hanks and Bill Murray Will Be Final Guests on Letterman Before Finale
(via The Hollywood Reporter/Entertainment Weekly)
Of course the final guests are Tom Hanks and Bill Murray.
The finale episode of The Late Show with David Letterman doesn’t have a line-up of guests, which we guess is to keep us all in suspense as to whether Dave will have a big star-studded salutation to late night as is customary or do something else altogether.
Still, the two days leading up to Wed. May 20th are sure to have plenty of moments that will be memorable for years to come with Hanks and Murray, two of the best late night guests that ever were. There will also be musical performances from Eddie Vedder and Bob Dylan.
Hanks and Vedder will be on Monday night’s show and Murray and Dylan on Tuesday.
Any takers on what Murray will be wearing in his final appearance or if he might take a jackhammer to the stage again?
Scheer-RL Relives When TRL Did a Sit Down with Marilyn and When an Uninvited Mariah Carey Came with a Popsicle Cart
Paul Scheer’s Scheer-RL continues to roll out with recreating some of the crazier moments that have happened on any sort of show, much less a music video countdown show like Total Request Live.
These latest episodes recount the times when Marilyn Manson, played by here Brett Gelman, fielded weird questions from Carson Daly and audience members about his controversial music and when Mariah Carey, played by Kumail Nanjiani, just bizarrely showed up without any prior booking or invitation along with a popsicle cart right before they cut to commercial.
Though exaggerated, stuff like Mariah interrupting TRL really did happen and Scheer-RL does well in playing up what many of us were thinking when that was happening live.

CW Has Picked Up “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” Starring Rachel Bloom
Suit yourself, Showtime. It’s your loss.
The musical dark romantic comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend starring Rachel Bloom that Showtime ordered to pilot, then ultimately passed on, now has another life over at The CW.
CW has gotten plenty of praise for Jane The Virgin, and, from the looks of this Upfronts preview, they’re going to keep that ball of praise rolling.
Look for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on Mondays at The CW starting this Fall.
Watch Trailer For Jen Kirkman’s New Netflix Special “I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine)”
Next Friday, Netflix continues to build its impressive array of comedy specials with Jen Kirkman’s I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine).
It being a new special from Kirkman is more than enough to get us to watch, but do check out this great trailer, which perfectly exemplifies this special’s great title.
After that, mark on your calendar that I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine) comes out on Netflix on May 22nd.
Moses Storm Pulled Off The First Ever All Phone Screening For Premiere of “#MODERNMILLENNIAL”
photos by Sela Shiloni
We were there and we all did pull out our phones at Moses’ request to watch a short film while seated at a movie theater.
Postmodern prankster, comedian, and actor Moses Storm pulled quite the appropriate stunt last week for the premiere of his documentary short film #MODERNMILLENNIAL that satirizes social media, crowdfunding, and the culture that has grown from it.
Last Wednesday, Storm packed in a capacity crowd at The Downtown Independent in Downtown LA that were all totally thinking they were going to watch the premiere on the big screen. After playing the trailer, a YouTube URL appeared and Moses announced that the film could only be watched on our phones via the YouTube link projected on the screen.
Taking every precaution, Moses offered headphones, WiFi passwords, chargers for every sort of phone, and spare phones with those that only have a flip phone or no phone at all. For one time, it was kind of great that everyone had their phones out at a movie theater.
It made for a great, immersive experience that was probably the perfect way to watch a film that focuses on the absurdities of everything that’s connected to being a millennial. See more pictures and see that we’re not trying to pull your leg here.
Also, the documentary short itself was pretty great and we’ll let you know when and where you can watch it as soon as we can.
TBS Orders Alien Abduction Comedy Pilot “The Group” From Conan O’Brien and Greg Daniels
(via Deadline)
TBS is really stepping up their game this year.
Shows from Samantha Bee and Jason Jones as well as Angie Tribeca already has raised anticipation of the new of programming coming to TBS.
TBS/TNT President Kevin Reilly is trying to keep that anticipation up on the TBS end with a pilot from the minds of Conan O’Brien and The Office’s Greg Daniels.
Their project, “The Group”, is centered on a support group for folks that think they’ve been through an alien abduction as they’re profiled by a very skeptical journalist. Of course, he becomes unsure of what’s going on the further he explores their stories.
We’d definitely hope this goes to series just so we can see the pilot of this.
If this goes well, maybe all those fake shows that Conan makes faux promos for might get reconsidered?
Harry Shearer Is Leaving “The Simpsons”
(via @theharryshearer/Variety)
Harry Shearer voiced Ned Flanders, Montgomery Burns, Smithers, Reverend Lovejoy, Lenny, Otto, Kent Brockman, Dr. Julius Hibbert, and many more characters on The Simpsons.
Shearer turned down the offer that was made for the rest of the cast as he wanted to pursue other projects.
Harry tweeted last night:
from James L. Brooks’ lawyer: “show will go on, Harry will not be part of it, wish him the best." This because I wanted what we’ve always had: the freedom to do other work.
This, as you can imagine, leaves a big hole in The Simpsons cast as they go into their next two seasons that were just ordered by Fox.
However, the show plans on finding new talent to step in for the bunches of iconic characters done by Shearer.
We’ll be curious to see if this is addressed at all in any episodes of The Simpsons.
Marc Maron Talks Handling Baby Hecklers and Long Time Internet Trolls on Kimmel
Stopping by to promote the new season of Maron, which starts tonight, Marc Maron chatted with Jimmy Fallon about opposite ends of the heckler/troll spectrum that comedians have come to deal with in this era of comedy.
First off, Marc had to delicately eal with a whole family including their baby being in the crowd at a show that he wasn’t aware was all ages.
Then, on the other end, Marc went to great lengths to get back at someone trolling on him Twitter. How far? How about casting someone in your show so you can tell a story about it on late night?

Our “Wormhole” Now Has Chris Fairbanks and WCT’s Draft Pick Leading Us Into The Comedy Unknown
Yesterday, we announced our latest live show endeavor, Wormhole, would break new ground in comedy.
Now, we’re happy to announce that the likes of the hysterical Chris Fairbanks who you’ve most certainly enjoyed on Conan, and some of Westside Comedy Theater’s finest improvisers will be leading us through the new, uncharted dimensions of the show.
Don’t miss out on going to somewhere potentially way cooler and definitely more fun than Mars, especially because it’s free, by going to Wormhole this Sun. at El Cid, doors 7PM/starts 8PM.
TruTV Announces Pick Up of “Adam Ruins Everything” as Series and a Pilot From Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky
TruTV really wasn’t kidding with their rebranding.
Their portion of this year’s Upfronts consisted of an intriguing slate that includes a series order of Adam Conover’s Adam Ruins Everything, which should bring an air of funny bittersweetness to us all with Adam’s explanation of things we unfortunately take for granted, and a pilot from stand-up comedians and real life husband and wife Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky.
Along with Those Who Can’t and gaining Billy On The Street, TruTV’s line-up becomes more enticing everyday.
Samantha Bee Is Coming To TBS and She Has Lost Her Appetite For “Sausages”
As part of TBS’ Upfronts presentation, Samantha Bee had a little teaser for her arriving at a new network and joining the male dominated late night club.
So far from this year’s Upfronts, other shows should take note on how to make an entrance from Bee.
Nacho Vigalondo’s Next Film Is “Colossal” with Anne Hathaway, Which Is Described as “Godzilla” Meets “Being John Malkovich”
(via The Hollywood Reporter)
While that seems like two films pulled out of a hat to mash-up, Nacho Vigalondo is one of only a few directors that could make this project seem like it was meant to be.
Frequently one for the fantastical and darker sides of humor (check out this short from a couple of years ago), Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo has taken on quite the film in Colossal, which has been cited as somewhere between Adaptation, Transformers, Godzilla, and Being John Malkovich.
Anne Hathaway plays a seemingly normal woman who befalls misfortune then finds out that her life is connected to the destruction of a giant lizard thousands and thousands of miles away.
While this is sure to cross plenty of genres, we’re confident that this will be worth checking out as soon as it’s on a screen near you.
Jason Alexander Set To Star in Adult Swim Pilot
(via Deadline)
Jason Alexander as a therapist who snaps and then still treats people? We’re on board.
Adult Swim’s latest pilot comes from Adam Lustick who you’ve probably seen on Harvard Sailing Team and will indeed have Jason Alexander as a therapist who just loses it, but still takes on his patients, giving them crazy advice on how to go about their lives.
Somehow, this seems to mirror any and all who took any actual advice from George Costanza and applied it to their real life.
Watch Jerry Rocha’s Set From Last Night’s Conan
The latest stand-up performance on Conan comes from Jerry Rocha who defies your expectations as someone who is Mexican, but kind of doesn’t look the stereotypical part.
