Tonight’s Conan Will Be a “Scrapisode” Made Up Entirely of Show Rehearsals

August 21, 2014

conan, rehearsal, scrapisode, tbs

If you’ve followed Team Coco online, you’ve probably gotten a chance to see some rehearsal footage where Conan O’Brien and company really play fast and loose. It’s a whole bunch of fun seeing Conan at the helm, wearing his guitar rather than a tailored suit.

Well, the entire episode of Conan tonight will be all cut together from that very same crazy rehearsal footage to make a “scrapisode”. It’s yet another first by Conan O’Brien that should be pretty great like his stop motion animation episode or Occupy Conan.

Check it out tonight at TBS 11PM.

The Toronto International Film Festival has taken what would have just been a special premiere screening of Bill Murray’s latest film St. Vincent and made an entire Bill Murray Day. There will be free screenings on Sept. 5th during TIFF for Stripes, Ghostbusters, and Groundhog Day.

Supposedly, Murray will also be there, probably giving many in attendance their own Bill Murray story by possibly doing anything from karaoke, dodge ball, giving wedding toasts, etc.

Hampton Yount Makes His Conan Debut

conan, hampton yount, late night, stand up

You might have seen Hampton Yount on Last Comic Standing or Adam Devine’s House Party, but Hampton’s been deserving of a stand up set on late night for quite some time.

Fortunately, last night, he got to do just that on Conan. Watch his set here (and then also never think about how your grandparents met the same way ever again).

August 21, 2014

45 jokes about my dead dad, comedy special, laurie kilmartin

You’ve seen comedy specials/albums taped in weird places or done in multiple places or intercut with some sketches. You have have yet to see a comedy special that’s on one topic and has a set number of jokes on said topic. That may sound a little too atypical, but Laurie Kilmartin has made such a prospect incredibly enticing by announcing that she’s going to make a special out of 45 jokes about her dead dad.

Appropriately titled ’45 Jokes About My Dead Dad“, Kilmartin will be taping this special that will clock in somewhere between 15 and 25 min. at the Lyric Theatre here in LA on Oct. 17th and 18th.

Even on top of seeing something as unusual and intriguing of a comedy special as this, Kilmartin is damn funny too, so don’t miss out.

Sure, there are plenty of purveyors of weird, amazing things in the culinary realm, but none of them are Michael Truly and Ron Babcock, the minds behind the hilariously demented Why Would You Eat That? Challenge.

They’re now back with a new web series called Why Would You Eat There? which has taken Truly and Babcock to The Heart Attack Grill, a place where if you don’t finish your thousands upon thousands of calories, you get spanked in front of everyone.

AMC Comedy Pilot ‘We Hate Paul Revere’ Casts Scott Adsit as Sam Adams

August 20, 2014

amc, paul revere, pilot season, scott adsit, we hate paul revere

AMC’s only comedy pilot currently in contention, We Hate Paul Revere, keeps getting more enticing. Not only is the premise of the folks hating American folk hero Paul Revere incredibly intriguing, but they already have Ron Livingston cast as Paul Revere and Spoils of Babylon’s Matt Piedmont directing.

Now, 30 Rock’s Scott Adsit has now been added to the cast as Sam Adams. Fingers crossed that this gets picked up so we can, at the very least, all just see what this looks like.

Nathan Fielder Gives the Hard Sell to Kids So They’ll Buy “Doink-Its”

comedy central, doink it, nathan fielder, nathan for you, parody, toy company

Last night’s Nathan For You featured Nathan Fielder possibly at his most determined as he attempted to boost the sales of a toy ball called a “doink-it” by a very “mudslinging-esque” aggressive marketing campaign. The toy company that makes the “doink-it” was more than hesitant about Nathan’s plan, but, needless to say, Nathan didn’t play around.

Watch it all unfold here.

We hope that you been watching Hotwives of Orlando and been gleefully enjoying Andrea Savage as Veronica Von Vandervon as much as we have.

With that in mind, we also hope you’ll now be excited for Savage joining the cast for a role opposite Matt LeBlanc for the entire next season of the award winning Episodes on Showtime.

We’re now curious to see if she’ll keep the same great, overly posh accent she has on Hotwives given the presence of British writers on Episodes.

Bill Cosby returned to The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon not to have his back jumped on as did happen on his last appearance, but rather to tell Jimmy his thoughts on the Cosby impression he does.

Also, per usual, Cosby tried leading Jimmy through some bits over and over until he gets it perfect.

comedy store, funny or die, hbo, jerrod carmichael, spike lee

On Oct. 4th at 10PM, HBO will not only be airing the first special from the hysterical Jerrod Carmichael, but they will be actually airing the very first stand-up performance from Jerrod on TV ever.

It’s amazing that Jerrod will be make his televised stand-up debut on an HBO special presented by Funny or Die and there’s a very good reason for that. What we saw at the taping is what we’ve seen here in LA for years with Carmichael having such an ease and command of the stage at the same time, delivering his hard hitting jokes a relaxed subtlety.

Here’s a promo for the special titled Love at The Store, taped live at The Comedy Store, directed by Spike Lee.

(via Entertainment Weekly)

In the midst of all of the awards dedicated to entertainment on a screen, Entertainment Weekly has put forth their own EWwy Awards based on votes from their readers on what’s best on their TVs.

So, Parks and Recreation took Best Comedy Series, Best Actor [Adam Scott], Best Supporting Actor [Nick Offerman] while Drunk History took Best Variety Series. Of course, perennial award winner Modern Family had to sneak in a win as well with Best Guest Actress [Elizabeth Banks].
