Finally, the damn funny Henry Phillips from such things that you should absolutely know like his stand-up, Henry’s Kitchen, or You and Your F*cking Coffee will be taking his very first one hour special at The Lyric Theater in Hollywood on Oct. 16th.
There will be two shows and thus two chances to see it that Thurs. night at 8PM and 10PM.
Get your tickets now and please don’t miss out.
Continuing to raise money for CancerForCollege.org and DonateGames.org, Will Ferrell has gone from drumming battles to throwing a huge video game event called Will Ferrell’s SuperMegaBlastMax Gamer Challenge where, if enough money is raised via indiegogo, you could win a chance to play against top gamers and Will Ferrell himself.
Ferrell is looking to raise $375,000 in just over a month as of this post being written. Hear all about it from the man himself here.
John Hodgman spent so many of his efforts trying to “prepare” for us for an apocalypse that, alas, never came to pass. He revealed that he has come to terms with this while on Conan in addition to start smoking weed.
Just as fascinating, one of Hodgman’s original day jobs, which was a so-called “traffic counter”, may or may not be a real job.
You can also buy the aforementioned Ragnarok Survival Kits that John mentions right here.

FXx’s recent Simpsons marathon was a pretty big success and they’re not letting up. Tomorrow night, they will run a 4 hour Simpsons marathon that will featured the music themed episodes starting at 8PM on FXx.
Yes, to answer your question, this marathon is also being run in conjunction with The Simpsons Take Over the [Hollywood] Bowl.
If you’ve been to any of the Oddball shows, you might have seen Hannibal Buress in a custom jump suit with his own face printed on it.
Not only did he wear during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, but Hannibal gave the origin story behind it. He also gave some insight into who he photobombs, his rejected SNL sketch, as well as learning to dunk in case he has to play in the NBA Celebrity Game next year.
Watch the whole interview here.
As you hear unofficial announcements of who will be working on Saturday Night Live this year, SNL has announced who will be hosting the beginning of their latest season.
Sept. 27th and Oct. 4th will see the return of Saturday Night Liveand they’re starting off with a bang by having Chris Pratt and Sarah Silverman host, respectively.
We think that might just make for two great episodes.

Paul Rudd has just signed on to be a celebrity spokesman for Korean based carmaker Hyundai. Though his voice has been used to narrate some TV spots already, we hope that he’ll get to do some crazy things a la Ron Burgundy and Dodge rather than just highlighting the latest features of Hyundai’s latest fleet of cars.
Wouldn’t it be great if he sold cars as Kunu?

Though 22 Jump Street ended with an awesomely ridiculous montage of a flurry of Jump Street sequels, Rodney Rothman who helped write “22” has now been hired to pen the 3rd installment of the franchise, 23 Jump Street.
There’s no word on Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s involvement or if 23 Jump Street will follow the 23 Jump Street in that closing montage, but we’ll all probably be hyped for it either way.

Through a deal between 20th Century Fox TV and China’s Sohu, The Simpsons, for the first time, will be available throughout all of China with Mandarin subtitles. That includes this latest season of The Simpsons as well.
Given China’s history with censorship, we’re curious if everything will be translated properly and go to air in China unedited.
It’s always a delight when Mel Brooks is anywhere on TV, but he’s especially a fun watch when he’s on late night. Brooks has so many amazing, hilarious stories that he could just keep telling them every night and seemingly never run out.
Such is the case with his appearance on Conan last night with the one time he filled in for Joan Rivers on her late night talk show and the prank he pulled when leaving his handprints in cement at the famous Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
Going Deep with David Rees might just have been the pinnacle of double over laughing and learning something about everyday minutia that we took for granted.
Having its first season on the National Geographic Channel, some of you might not have been able to share in simultaneous laughing and marveling. However, Hulu has now the whole first season online for you to enjoy, learn, and guffaw until it hurts.
We highly suggest you do all of the above that right now.
Earlier this year, we told you about how Lena Dunham will be the latest part of the experimental new chapters of the Archie Comics as she is writing a few issues.
While chatting with Jimmy Kimmel last night, she delved a little into what might come of her version of the Archie Comics and what she fears in the world of Archie fandom.
Kimmel also makes a good call on who would play a good Jughead in a live action version of Archie.
Colin Quinn, Whiplash, Carmen Lynch, Ted Alexandro, Aparna Nancherla, Lee Camp, Myq Kaplan, Dan Soder, and more are coming to Woodstock, NY for this year’s Woodstock Comedy Festival Sept. 19th-21st.
Not only will great comedy be on display in a very picturesque setting that has a great, wild history, but all net proceeds will go to fight against human trafficking and domestic violence in case you needed another reason to go.
So, get your tickets here.
Yesterday, the news broke that James Corden will indeed be replacing Craig Ferguson as the host of The Late Late Show.
As you’d expect, Ferguson noted this on last night’s episode of The Late Late Show and gave a nice welcome to the new host as Craig, Geoff Peterson as well as bits as Awkward Pause are getting to go.

Wyatt Cenac is having quite the day today just like he will be having on Oct. 21st. That’s the day when his Live in Brooklyn tour starts and his brand new stand-up special, Wyatt Cenac: Brooklyn, is released on Netflix.
The tour will take Cenac from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. and several places in between. The special is the latest in a line of stand-up specials that Netflix is has rolled/rolling out over the next few months including ones from Eddie Pepitone, Matt Braunger, Bill Burr, Chelsea Peretti, and Bill Cosby.
Also, Wyatt’s in the brand new Open Mike Eagle music video that just dropped.
Season 4 of Key & Peele is almost upon us. Sept 24th will see the premiere of new episodes full of new sketches that we all won’t be able to get enough of.
That’s what this brand new teaser with Obama and Anger Translator Luther says.

James Franco is now adapting that book into a full length feature where he will play Wiseau and is having powerhouse screenwriting duo Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber write the adaptation. Franco does want Wiseau involved, but only in a finite capacity.
The trailer for this will undoubtedly go viral.

Before embarking on his Black Plague Tour, Chris Rock has something else big on the horizon. His latest movie Top Five following a comedian turned movie star, in which he starred, written, and directed is making quite the ruckus at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Studios are in a bidding war of the likes that have been rarely seen at TIFF and Paramount Pictures reportedly has offered $12.5 million for the worldwide rights to the movie. Not only is that number impressive for a festival buy, but the movie itself only cost around $6 million to make.
So, Rock’s Top Five sounds like it’ll be pretty good.
When Russia had lost contact with a space vessel they had sent up with geckoes for the sole purpose of seeing how they would mate in space, John Oliver and Last Week Tonight made a rally cry to go get those geckoes.
Joy was had when they reestablished contact, but, alas, when Russia was looking in the vessel upon landing, they found that the geckoes had died.
So, of course, Oliver had a very fitting tribute to the space sex geckoes on Last Week Tonight complete with duet with A Great Big World.

A few months ago, there was a rumor that leaked that one James Corden from the UK would be replacing Craig Ferguson as host of The Late Late Show at CBS. There was only one unnamed source and neither CBS, Ferguson, or Corden would confirm the rumor, so we continued to wait for the official word on CBS’ choice.
Well, as of today, CBS has confirmed that Corden will succeed Ferguson as another host from across the pond of The Late Late Show starting some time after Ferguson leaves in December and heads for his syndicated 7PM show through Tribute Media.
So, 2015’s CBS late night line-up will be The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden, which will be probably the most intriguing move in late night in the last few years.

The Brink starring Jack Black and Tim Robbins has just added Rob Brydon who we hope you have seen on The Trip or The Trip to Italy and Michelle Gomez who we’re sure you’ve seen on Doctor Who to the cast for a few episodes.
While there are plenty of parallels in the premises of both, there’s no trailer, teaser, premiere date, or any other such thing to clue us in as to how much The Brink might or might not be like the most famous dark satirical geopolitical comedy, Dr. Strangelove. The addition of Brydon and Gomez as a couple, while certainly a welcome one, only make us more intensely curious as to what The Brink will end up ultimately being.
