The release of the latest Marcel The Shell book from Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp, The Most Surprised I’ve Ever Been, is tomorrow Oct. 21st.

To get you even more into how delightful Marcel the Shell is, the latest video with Marcel is now up and shows him literally be under the weather, both ways.

John Oliver and Last Week Tonight Make Important Supreme Court Cases Palatable With Dogs and Fake Paws

October 20, 2014

court cases, fake paws, john oliver, last week tonight, pet court, the supreme court

You’d be hard pressed to find anyone that actually sits and watches an entire hour of congressional hearings on C-SPAN. While the decisions that affect the course of politics happen in such chambers, it’s hard to make it good TV.

Cases that The U.S. Supreme Court takes on have an even more direct effect on our lives and cameras aren’t even allowed into their court room. However, you can hear audio of their discourse and, knowing that, the amazing Last Week Tonight team and John Oliver have done us all the huge favor of making an adorable mock-up of The Supreme Court with real dogs with fake paws.

In fact, there’s almost ten minutes of footage you can use so you or major news networks can put it over audio of cases in The Supreme Court. Welcome to your new favorite meme, Internet.

Key and Peele Set To Shoot First Feature “Keanu” in Spring 2015

October 20, 2014

keanu, key and peele, new line

While Key & Peele continues to kill it in their 4th season, titular stars Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele already have their off show schedule filled up with so many projects. A reboot of Police Academy, a potential spin-off movie for their character Mr. Garvey, a movie with Judd Apatow, and a web series “Ithamar Has Nothing to Say”.

Turns out their first feature length project of all of those to get into production will be another film entirely that follows a cat being stolen by a gang entitled “Keanu”. As far as we know, it doesn’t refer to the actor Keanu Reeves, but we’d be surprised if it didn’t play into the story somehow.

New Line has set production of Keanu to start in spring of 2015 and will hopefully be the start to where we’ll all get to see Key & Peele in various formats year round.

Here’s the First Full Trailer for “The Comeback” on HBO

ast records, comedy album, paul danke

Earlier this year, Paul Danke recorded an album that would be in a line of great releases from AST Records this year. The time is now coming near for that debut album of Danke’s to come out.

More specifically, Nov. 11th is when you can get a copy and take a listen. We don’t have any details on a title or cover art, but we’re sure, with the focus on Danke, it’s going to be as casual cool as casual cool can be.

Cameron Crowe Romantic Comedy with Bill Murray, Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone Set for 2015 Release

October 19, 2014

bill murray, bradley cooper, cameron crowe, deep tiki, emma stone

Once there was a script for a project that writer/director Cameron Crowe was writing called Deep Tiki, which was retooled for a cast of Bill Murray, Bradley Cooper, and Emma Stone. It’s been in the works, and untitled, for well over a year and can be best most fully described, so far as we can tell, as a “Hawaiian rocket launch rom com”.

If you like all of those elements together (and we really can’t imagine why you wouldn’t), be happy to know that this film is set for release in May 2015 according to Crowe in an interview with Variety.

We wouldn’t be surprised if a fun trailer with rockets, great music, Murray’s classic face, all against the Hawaii sunset is coming relatively soon.

CBS Launches “CBS All Access” Subscription Streaming Service

October 19, 2014

cbs, cbs all access, online streaming, streaming subscription

It’s only a matter of time before TV and the Internet merge completely. One can already see the signs as HBO finally setting to offer a stand alone streaming option marks the already inevitable shift of television online.

CBS is now joining in on this movement with the launching of CBS All Access, which offers thousands of episodes of your favorite CBS programs as well as new episodes the very next day.

We hope this makes watching something like a comedian’s set on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson or an entire interview from The Late Show with David Letterman after it has aired a lot easier (i.e. being able to watch it all) than it currently is.

For now, CBS is offering a one week free trial of CBS All Access.

Amy Poehler Producing Another Comedy Project at NBC and Joins Legendary’s Digital Division with “Smart Girls At The Party”

October 18, 2014

aisha muharrar, amy poehler, nbc, pilot season, smart girls at the party

For quite some time, Amy Poehler has been doing quite well for herself or, as some might say, killing it.

This week has been a particularly good display of that as Legendary Entertainment acquired Poehler’s Smart Girls At The Party and she is set to produce another comedy at NBC along with Aisha Muharrar.

So, there will be even more Smart Girls At The Party content to be made and a comedy project following an agnostic woman who has to deal with the inheritance of a church.

These two announcements come on top of the release of Poehler’s book Yes Please, executive producing the second season of Broad City, and probably a million other amazing things that she has wonderfully hidden up her sleeve.

Instead of Let’s Get Physical, Megan Amram Says “Let’s Get Physics Y’all” For Her Book “Science… For Her!”

October 18, 2014

let's get physical, megan amram, nick offerman, olivia newton john, parody, payman benz, rich fulcher, science... for her!, steve agee

The release of Megan Amram’s science “textbook”, Science… For Her!, is less than a month away at Nov. 4th, so Amram enlisted the help of Nick Offerman, Steve Agee, and Rich Fulcher, director Payman Benz, and a parody of Olivia Newton John’s Let’s Get Physical to promote the book.

The result? It’s Let’s Get Physics Y’all with a perfect exhibition of all the, shall we say, manliness of Offerman/Agee/Fulcher on display. Pre-order Science… For Her!, as you know you’ll want to after watching, here.

PopSugar’s First Series “Seriously Distracted” to Star Amy Sedaris

October 17, 2014

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Pop culture obsessed site PopSugar is heading into making original content with their first web series Seriously Distracted.

It’s a series that follows the happenings at a PR firm filled with millennials, but more importantly, has Amy Sedaris playing the PR film’s head.

Hopefully, there will be a tip of the hat to Sedaris’ agent character on Bojack Horseman, Princess Caroline.

Comedy Bang! Bang! and The Birthday Boys Return Tonight on IFC

You can choose to actually block out your 11PM hour tonight or simply set your DVR, but, either way make sure that you’ll be able to catch the return of both Comedy Bang! Bang! at 11PM then the season 2 premiere of The Birthday Boys right after at 11:30PM on IFC.

We’re guessing that you won’t have to cancel whatever your plans you made because this was already your plan when you heard about the return/premiere date several weeks ago.

NBC Cancelled Female Driven 1960s Space Race Comedy “Mission Control” Before Premiere

October 17, 2014

canceled, gary sanchez productions, krysten ritter, mission control, nbc, space race

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Though there seems to be a little bit of a trend of space themed comedies these days with Paul Feig‘s Other Space for Yahoo, Cracked‘s Starship Icarus, NBC has jumped off any sort of potential bandwagon that there would be by canceling Mission Control from Gary Sanchez Productions ahead of its premiere.

Krysten Ritter was set to star, but locking down the rest of the cast apparently proved too difficult for NBC to want to move forward with the show.

It’s unfortunate as a workplace comedy set at NASA’s Mission Control in the 60s with Ritter as the star definitely sounded pretty great to us. Maybe it’ll get revived somewhere else as that is definitely a trend in TV these days.

Jenny Slate Sings a Song as Marcel The Shell

October 17, 2014

jenny slate, late show, letterman, marcel the shell with shoes

One can easily be lulled into the magical illusion of Marcel the Shell with Shoes actually having that fragile voice that he has, but you should know it’s actually the voice of Jenny Slate.

If you’re looking for proof, then look no further then Jenny’s appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman last night where she sang as Marcel.

Then, once you’re overtaken with how adorable this is, you’ll want to pick up the new book due out next week, Marcel The Shell, The Most Surprised I’ve Ever Been.

Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster Are Making a “Best of The Best Show” Boxed Set

October 17, 2014

best show, box set, jon wurster, tom scharpling, wfmu

While you’re waiting for The Best Show to return, there’s something to make that wait even more enticing than it already is.

The Best Show’s Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster are coming out with a 16 CD boxed set “culled from the vaults of WFMU—the world’s most acclaimed free-form radio station—comes over 20 hours of mind-bending, hilarious phone calls between the renowned comedy duo of Tom Scharpling & Jon Wurster”.

There’s also “a 108-page hardcover book with cover art by Joe Matt that features essays by Patton Oswalt, Julie Klausner, Damian Abraham (lead singer of F*cked Up) and Best Show associate producer Michael Lisk (aka A.P. Mike), a definitive interview with Scharpling & Wurster by Jake Fogelnest, notes on the evolution and inspiration behind each bit written by Scharpling & Wurster, a USB drive with all of the calls plus 4 hours of bonus material, a fold-out map of Newbridge, Philly Boy Roy & Timmy von Trimble Paper Dolls, postcards, and temporary tattoos with The Best Show catch-phrases.”

If you pre-order from Numero Group, you’ll get a piece of a smashed phone that Wurster used to make the first Rock, Rot & Rule call along with a certificate of authenticity.

Don’t think this is all real? See Scharpling and Wurster all explain it themselves and smash the phone.

Then, put your pre-order in at Numero Group that ships out March of 2015 because you know you want this and that piece of the phone.

October 17, 2014

chris rock, top five, trailer

Headed for a release on Dec. 12th after snagging a $12.5 million bid from Paramount Pictures, Chris Rock’s Top Five is one of the most highly anticipated comedies, if not movies in general, for the rest of 2014 (and the beginning of 2015 for that matter).

The trailer has just got posted online and shows promise for what could be a tighter, less complicated version of Funny People that’s written, directed, and starring the one and only Chris Rock.

Give it a watch and see for yourself.

conan, craig ferguson, morning news, performance art, proposal, stand up, the late late show, tj miller

All of us were lucky enough to get T.J. Miller on late night twice this week with stops at Conan and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Not that were any sort of medical authority, but we figure that you need a good dose of T.J. in your life. So, enjoy T.J. talking to Conan O’Brien about his performance art morning news appearances and then proposing only like T.J. Miller would and having all sorts of hijnks and then doing stand-up on Ferguson.
