Bill Burr’s upcoming stand-up special “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” makes its way on to Netflix this Fri., Dec. 5th.
This is the trailer just in case you read all of this before you went ahead and watched it already.
The game Pictionary is simple enough as it’s basically charades, but utilizing drawing rather than acting out. It’s also been a game for several years, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable that people playing it would be, at least, decent at guessing words and phrases from drawings.
However, the duos of Martin Short/Jimmy Fallon and Jerry Seinfeld/Miranda Sings made for one great, rare edition of Pictionary on The Tonight Show that might be one of the more ridiculous, outlandish games that has ever been played.

Throughout the history of late night , all the major broadcast networks have had an absence of female late night talk show hosts. Even the roster of interim hosts for The Late Late Show that bridges the gap between Craig Ferguson exiting and James Corden starting doesn’t have a female guest host so far as we know.
So, Lauren Graham has taken it upon herself to co-write and star in a sitcom about their being a fictional one trying to make her way in what has been a field almost entirely populated by white men in America since its inception. NBC has taken on the project, titled Kate on Later, for development and Ellen DeGeneres has boarded the project as an executive producer.
Perhaps, this might resemble a female led Larry Sanders Show and we’re absolutely on board for that.

Clickhole was founded by The Onion to satirize all the clickbait sites that have risen to prominence online over the last couple of years. One of their biggest targets was Buzzfeed and they made sure to make Buzzfeed style quizzes and listlcles, but with their own absurd twist. The folks at Clickhole were so good at parodying Buzzfeed that, sometimes, the only way to differentiate between the two was the font, graphics, and URL.
Now, “the snake has eaten its own tail” or “life imitates art” or “if you can’t beat’em, join’em” all applies as Buzzfeed has just hired Daniel Kibblesmith, a Clickhole associate editor to be part of their staff. They were impressed with his work and thought his quizzes would work as regular non-parody on Buzzfeed.
What this all means in the long run has yet to be seen, but we do know that this is one way where the Internet has reinforced itself from attempts by others to “break it”.
MTV Other’s Door Boys from Good Cop Great Cop have a lot of time on their hands, so, it would be reasonable to assume that they would get the order of movies in The Star Wars franchise mixed up.
It’s not confusing to the rest of us that IV is first and I is fourth, right? Even if it is, just watch the latest episode of Door Boys here.
Less than a month ago, HBO released a teaser for their latest comedy series, Togetherness from The Duplass Brothers.
Now, there’s a full trailer for you to watch and enjoy. Based off of the “dramedic” tone of Girls also on HBO, Togetherness could also be appropriately titled “Adults”.
Catch the premiere of Togetherness on Jan. 11th at 9:30PM on HBO.

We were not even aware that comedians took on any hosting duties for the adult entertainment industry’s AVN Awards, but, apparently, the likes of Dave Attell, April Macie, and Robert Schimmel have all done the gig.
This year, The AVN Awards have wisely chosen the sharp and saucy Danielle Stewart as their comedic co-host and will make be shown somewhere on cable in 2015.
Given that the event is set to actually happen in Jan., we wonder what sort of fun stuff they will cut out for air over those few months.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s Last Man on Earth starring Will Forte already has people highly anticipated for its series premiere on Mar. 1st.
Now, the anticipation will possibly be higher as the wonderful Kristen Schaal has joined the cast though it’s not clear how she’ll figure into a series entitled Last Man on Earth.
So, Mar. 1st 9PM on Fox should be in your calendars by now and, if not, then do so ASAP.

After all these years, Mad About You is getting readapted. It’s not a U.S. reboot or something that the Internet has revived, but, rather, it’s a new Chinese adaptation of the 1990’s hit sitcom that starred Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt.
Many comedians currently joke about how China will take over the U.S. based on factors including how they outnumber us, the money that the U.S. owes them, etc.
However, readapting a hit sitcom from overseas is, these days, pretty American and considering that a classic example of an 90’s American multicam sitcom, Mad About You, this is probably a positive in overall U.S.-China relations.
This long Thanksgiving was probably filled with many awful ordeals with your family, but we’d wager that none of those can compare with the twisted families and world of The Heart, She Holler.
So, make sure to tune in for the premiere of season 3 of The Heart, She Holler on Adult Swim at 12:30AM and you might just feel better living in the twisted world we actually live in.
My new stand up special, “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” debuts on Netflix next Friday December 5th.
— Bill Burr (@billburr)
Right now, so many folks are waiting on every move that Bill Burr makes and rightfully so. Whether it be a vinyl record made from a Carnegie Hall performance over three years ago or any small room where he’ll drop in here in LA or his Monday Morning Podcast, Burr is on a roll with all of it.
So, on Friday, Dec. 5th, instead of watching the Star Wars VII: Force Awakens trailer a few more times, you’ll be watching his latest stand-up special “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” when it drops on Netflix on repeat.

If you’re an insomniac, you’ve probably noted that Adult Swim has been taking advantage of it’s late night/early morning time slots by making up fake infomercials for the most ridiculous things that they can concoct.
One of those things is Smart Pipe which is social media done through what you flush down the toilet, as far as we can tell. And, to answer your question, yes, it’s probably NSFW (if you’re watching this at work at 4AM, you might work at a place where your boss is pretty chill).
In any case, you can enjoy this Adult Swim infomercial at any time of the day now.
First off, Nikki Glaser is doing a talk show pilot for Comedy Central. Take a moment to be glad that someone had the sense to make sure Nikki had a chance for another show after Nikki and Sara Live got the ax at MTV.
The pilot is entitled #NSFW w/Nikki Glaser and will have, appropriate of the title, Nikki discuss and explore the topic of sex, which, if you know her comedy, should be a lot of fun.
You can actually preview the pilot at Nerdmelt over the next two weeks before Nikki does an official taping for Comedy Central, which we highly recommend going to if you’re in LA for the first two weeks of December.
Tues. Dec. 2nd and Thurs. Dec. 11th both at 7PM are your two chances for previews. They’re free to attend with RSVP, so, again, please go if you can.
Super Dave’s Spike Tacular, Funny or Die Presents, Comedy Central’s Mash Up, The Kings of Summer, Arrested Development, Key & Peele, Spoils of Babylon, Kroll Show, 22 Jump Street, You’re The Worst, Newsreaders, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine call be used as good connections when Six Degrees of Separation through Marc Evan Jackson.

Tonight at 8PM on Lifetime, the melding of the Internet’s love of Grumpy Cat and Aubrey Plaza will be complete as that is when Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever will make its world wide premiere.
For weeks, Aubrey has been saying how insanely meta this movie is and how both the director and Lifetime basically let her say whatever she wanted since they’re not syncing it with Grumpy Cat’s lips at all.
We can all say how true that statement really is, in addition to see whether this will outdo Kim Kardashian’s butt in attempting to break the Internet, tonight at 8PM.
Also, Plaza encourages you all to live tweet the experience right along with her.
I WILL BE LIVE TWEETING THIS MOVIE TONIGHT. PLEASE JOIN ME. OR DONT. NO ONE CARES. #grumpycatmovie #grumpynightmare pic.twitter.com/MWiSs0JnMC

Though he had already taped a comedy special that will be coming out in the not so distant future, Jermaine Fowler, somehow, still had yet to perform stand-up on a late night talk show.
Luckily, that changed last night when he got to perform on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and got to tell the world of how his brother got put in Special Ed by mistake.
Watch it here (starting around 35:08) or at CBS.com (around 35:40).
All the voiceover that you hear on commercials or telling you what time your favorite shows are on are actually recorded by a real person in a recording booth where they say those lines over and over and over.
As you can imagine, that can drive you as well as the people doing the recording a little crazy. So, naturally, a few takes in they may go off the deep end with what they’re recording.
This is the premise for CH2’s Most Insane VO Ever series with Josh Ruben, Kelly Hudson, and Ben Rameaka that we’ve enjoyed and we hope you’ll throughly enjoy too.
Tina Fey & Amy Poehler are giving one last hurrah in hosting The Golden Globes next year and since that’s the case, they have already decided what to wear. Well, hopefully they go through with what they say they’re going to wear in this promo.
We’ll see what/who they wear on Sun. Jan. 11th on NBC.

Really, the avalanche is tangential to what’s so funny about Swedish dramedy, “Force Majeure” from Ruben Östlund. A Swedish family of four goes to the French Alps on vacation and goes through briefly traumatic experience, but then goes on to deal with something more profound in how misinformed their traditional gender and family roles are.
If you’re into seeing what appears to be a happily married couple with two kids subversively, but hysterically question why they’re with each other, Force Majeure is the movie for you.
Catch it in the handful of theaters that it’s still playing it in LA.
Nathan For You’s Nathan Fielder did his part for Comedy Central’s Non-Denominational Christmas Special that premiered last night by singing a duet with international film star Marion Cotillard.
It’s pretty much everything you’d want a duet between Nathan and someone like Cotillard to be like.
Watch it here and catch repeats of The Non-Denominational Christmas Special tonight, Sat., and Sun. at 10PM on Comedy Central.
A brand new comedy album would be the perfect thing to listen to while you’re waiting in line to either pay, park, return, etc. on Black Friday today.
With that in mind, pick up the Nore Davis’ debut comedy album “Home Game” fresh off of Rooftop Comedy. You’re not going to hear a better pro-transgender Dragon Ball Z joke probably ever outside of this album.
