The Stage Adaptation of “A Confederacy of Dunces” Starring Nick Offerman to Premiere in November

March 2, 2015

a confederacy of dunces, boston, jeffrey hatcher, john kennedy toole, nick offerman

The attempts to adapt John Kennedy Toole’s renowned Confederacy of Dunces from the page to stage and screen on a large scale has always been tenuous.

However, this latest try as a stage production with Nick Offerman starring as Ignatius J. Reilly seems to be tracking along just fine. It was only read at a workshop last year, but now is headed into full steam into Boston’s Huntington Theatre Company stage as adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher.

Look for the run, which we think might sell out quick, later this year in November and December.

Last Week Tonight and John Oliver Manage To Make a Very Enjoyable Segment About Infrastructure

hbo, infrastructure, john oliver, last week tonight

John Oliver and Last Week Tonight continue their great weekly dissection of topics that aren’t really covered in comedy or covered in a way that most people would want to watch to be entertained.

This week, Oliver takes on infrastructure and how important it is we maintain it. With an action movie parody, a Cosby joke, and more, you’ll probably never be more into infrastructure ever after watching this.

Superego Once Recorded a Nearly 40 Min. Sketch That They Are Holding a Contest To See What Someone Can Do With It

March 2, 2015

comedy podcast, contest, sketch, submissions, superego, world's longest

Superego is one of the funniest podcasts around as they really let loose in all their sketches. In fact, just over two years ago, the did a sketch entitled “Stetch Maldonay: Scissor Shapener” that clocked in, raw and unedited, at 38:41.

A quick Google search and check of Record Setter will leave you unsure of exactly if there’s a longer sketch on record in existence (there is a Shortest Comedy Sketch), so we’re going to say, for now, that’s the world’s longest single comedy sketch.

Currently it’s in three separate tracks here, here, and here.

Knowing all of this, the guys over at Superego have been racking their brains for years in trying to see what they can do to make Stetch Maldonay more manageable and into something that would put on a episode of the podcast that features numerous sketches of more standard length.

Now, they’re giving all of us a chance to take this beast on.

If you have the audio know how and have a good sense of comedic structure and timing, you might want to give this a shot. They’re taking submissions until May 1st and might feature it on the actual show. Get all the details here.

In case you have been too busy trying to catch up with all the hordes of television, movies, music, etc., No, You Shut Up! with Paul F. Tompkins is really hitting its stride in season 3 over at Fusion.

Just look at all the hijinks they get into with Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele when they stop by and you can clearly see why this show should be the most Googled of 2015 instead of just 2nd in 2014.

Also, do remember that you can watch entire full episodes of this season as well as seasons one and two all conveniently on YouTube.

Make sure to see what Forte (and probably most of us if we were being completely honest) would do if we had the whole world all to ourselves (i.e. Tequila filled kid pools) by tuning at 9PM tonight for the hour premiere on Fox.

Trevor Moore has a brand new comedy special coming to Comedy Central next week after his Drunk Texts to Myself, Trevor Moore: High in Church. There will be sketches, songs, dancing girls, as well as the exploration of what a parallel kitty universe would be like.

How exactly would a “kitty universe” be like ours? Luckily, Trevor has a music video to show you just how cats are exactly just like us in every way, no matter how dark it is, in some alternate universe.

After that, be sure to watch Trevor Moore: High in Church Fri. Mar. 6th at midnight on Comedy Central.

One of the cartoon that bridges the generational gap between adults and children together these days is Adventure Time and, knowing that, Warner Bros. is now adapting the hit Cartoon Network series into a full-length feature movie.

With this in the works, Warner Bros. will have a pretty sold hold on the family movie with those bunches of LEGO movies in the works.

Craig Ferguson To Star In ABC Comedy Pilot “King of 7B” and Probably Forego Hosting a Show Soon

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

There has been more than plenty of speculation as to what Craig Ferguson was going to do post Late Late Show at CBS. For awhile, there was talk of him hosting a primetime syndicated talk show, which ended up falling through during negotiations with individual stations. Some have even tossed his hat in the ring for stepping in for Jon Stewart when he leaves The Daily Show.

Well, much of that chatter can now be quieted, for now at least, as Craig will be starring in the the ABC comedy pilot “King of 7B”. It’s a single camera comedy that follows Craig as an agoraphobic who tries to overcome his fear for love, possibly.

It’s only a pilot, so there’s the chance that he might end up doing something else later this year, but you can place a pretty safe bet it won’t be hosting a talk show that airs nightly.

If you live in Hollywood, you learn almost instantly that it’s far removed from the glitz and glamour that’s depicted on stage and screen. One great example of that is the Ralphs on Sunset Blvd. that’s open 24/7, affectionately called the “Rock n’ Roll Ralphs”.

Steve Rannazzisi had an ordeal there that gives you an idea of why this Ralphs is “special” and has earned its “rock n’ roll” status in a story for This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir.

In the middle of that tour, they will be taping a special, presumably of the same great name, in Milwaukee on May 8th (via The Laugh Button)

On top of all of that, Offerman is also gearing up for the release of his second book, Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America’s Gutsiest Troublemakers. The book will follow Offerman highlighting some of Offerman/Ron Swanson’s favorite American heroes. It’s set for release on May 26th.

Along with Pickle & Peanut that enlists the talents of Johnny Pemberton and Jon Heder, Disney XD is definitely aiming to attract a wide age range with their latest programming slate.

Future Worm, from Ryan Quincy who has cut his teeth at South Park, will have an adventures boy named Danny, a worm with a beard, a time traveling lunch box, and a robotic carp. As mentioned above, Andy Milonakis and James Adomian will be the voices of Danny and Future Worm.

Here’s a teaser and you’ll see exactly what we’re talking about.

Danny Pudi to Star in “Strange Calls” Pilot on NBC

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

While Parks and Recreation and The Office are over, Community and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt finding their way online, and Must See TV dropped, NBC is at a big crossroads as to where there comedy will be headed.

More and more this pilot season, NBC seems like they would like to keep some of their stars around from their last era of sitcoms. Community’s Danny Pudi has now been set to star in the pilot for Strange Calls, adapted from a high concept Australian horror sitcom, as the lead. He’d play a well-meaning police officer that has to deal with secretly supernatural town in the sticks. So, we guess it’d be like Eureka, but more supernatural and with Pudi.

Already, NBC has Adam Scott who just finished up with Parks and Recreation developing a dispensary comedy with Joe Mande, leaving us to wonder what’s to come for comedy series at the peacock.

Many in the comedy world are still processing the untimely loss of Harris Wittels as it has been said over and over that he had so much more to give had he stuck around.

As that’s the case, podcast giant Earwolf has printed a special Comedy Bang! Bang! T-shirt with the Harris credo “Motherf*ckers Just Wanna Laugh”.

You can pre-order the shirt for $20 and all proceeds will go to a scholarship that has been set up in memory of Harris. While you’re rewatching all of Parks and Recreation or listening to old episodes of Comedy Bang! Bang! or Analyzing Phish, this is another pretty nice way of remembering Harris.
