Tina Fey’s Daughter Might Be Grow Up To Be Darkly Funny Comedy Person

August 23, 2013
Uncategorized
interview, letterman, sociopath, tina fey

The art form of comedy and how illusive being at any good at is sometimes begs the question if comedy is in any sort of DNA. We don’t have an exact answer to that, but it will be interesting to see if Tina Fey’s daughter Penelope might offer some insight into that.

We’re only basing that observation on the bizarre, sociopathic tendencies that Tina brought up during her appearance on Letterman this week (at the very least, they could make for some funny stories). Watch the clip of the Letterman interview here.

Aziz Ansari To Write Relationship Book, Reportedly Gets $3.5 Million Advance

Aziz Ansari To Write Relationship Book, Reportedly Gets $3.5 Million Advance

Aziz Ansari’s stand up material has taken a really funny turn to relationships as of late that really break down the finer points of why they don’t work, ostensibly going towards giving up on them all together. This book is surely going to spring from those jokes.

However, there are no details on what the title of the book is, but we’re thinking it might be somewhere around, “WE’RE JUST NOT THAT INTO EACH OTHER”.

Watch Stephanie Allynne in Hilariously Bizarre Kind-of-Christian-Basketball-Talk-Show “Take a Knee”

buhhhhhh, jash, stephanie allynne

Please commit the name Stephanie Allynne to memory if you haven’t been witness to her in such great things like The Midnight Show or, most recently, In A World.

Trust us, she’s so damn funny in those things and more, so let this faux Christian/basketball talk show starring Allynne “Take a Knee” along with other funny folks like Kyle Mooney and Lauren Lapkus over at Jash’s buh channel be yet another example of why you shouldn’t forget about her.

Laffster Now Streaming Live Comedy Shows and Offering Special Interactive Auctions

Some of you might have heard of a comedy tech start up in Laffster over the last several months and some of the unique things that they were trying to do as a comedy content distributor/aggregator. 

Well, you might be interested to hear that they’re going into new territory by streaming live shows online such as a live taping of Walking the Room in addition to an accompanying interactive auction that would include, in this case, a personal 10 min. podcast ep. from Greg Behrendt and Dave Anthony or a personal phone call from Dave telling you to go fuck yourself, like a nice mix of Ustream and Kickstarter for comedy

They’ve already done similar special livestreams with the likes of Gina Yashere and Harvard Sailing Team and it might be something to look out for if you don’t live in LA or NYC and especially don’t have patience/money to go to a festival.

The UCB Comedy Improv Manual by Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts Out Now

The UCB Comedy Improv Manual by Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts Out Now

When considering who are the modern masters of improvisational comedy/who should write an instructional book on improv, a good place to start with that list is the founders of The Upright Citizens Brigade. 

Luckily, that just happened as Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts, ¾ of the original UCB 4 (the other one if Amy Poehler and we’re guessing she’s got a little busy with everything she’s doing to join in here) have written and released an instructional book on long form improvisational comedy.

If you have any interest in improv to any degree, The UCB Comedy Improv Manual just might be a good thing to buy.

FX Orders Seth Rogen-Produced ‘Bigfoot’ Animated Comedy Pilot

After the success of This Is The End, we’ve all been wondering what’s next for Seth Rogen behind the camera and it turns out an animated series on Bigfoot over at the soon to be launched FXx is what’s in store. 

The details of the show aren’t completely outlined yet, but we would think that a Rogen voiced Bigfoot would seem fitting.

Jon Stewart Is Now the Highest Paid Host in Late Night

Is this headline truly surprising to anyone?

If having your network get an interim host for the late night show bearing your name because you really want to a shoot a movie that your network has no stake in for the Summer, it should be a pretty good sign that you’re of high value to that network.

Also, Jon Stewart has made The Daily Show into one of the most reliably hilarious cultural phenomenons in recent memory, so, his pay shouldn’t be surprising.

Dave Attell Back at Comedy Central with Latenight Series & Stand-Up Special

Dave Attell’s and his stand-up are coming back in full force over on TV. Both a comedy special and stand up series from Attell have been added to Comedy Central’s upcoming slate.

It would be amazing to see if Dave keeps Dave’s Old Porn going concurrently with these two new projects.

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa Possibly Coming Stateside Next Year

Magnolia Pictures has just acquired Steve Coogan vehicle “Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa” (and we hope that you’re familiar with Steve Coogan and/or his radio DJ character Alan Partridge; if not, fix that now please). Not to mention that Veep’s own Armando Ianucci as well as Coogan are writers on the movie, you should get all excited for a potential 2014 release.

Here’s the trailer for Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa by the way if you haven’t seen it yet.

Apparently, this monster filled comedy set in a high school, “Kitchen Sink”, already has an amazing cast in Josh Fadem, Keegan Michael Key, and Joan Cusack and now has just added the likes of Patton Oswalt, Bob Odenkirk, and Ian Roberts. 

With that mashing of genres and this cast, the set photos of this film alone should be both hilarious and great.

This Better Be Funny Podcast: This Better Be Funny Ep. 82 Despicable Edition with Sean O’Connor

Another episode of This Better Be Funny mini-series “Despicable Edition”where we have a guest square off with co-host Jeremy Paul, who admitted to basically being a baby boxing promoter, in a “despicable/embarrassing story off” is here. This week, Sean O’Connor (Conan), a man who told off Bon Jovi, who has a pretty formidable tale in one of the worst girlfriends ever by virtue of the fact that she tried to frame him for a felony. 

Listen to how Sean survived that, what Jeremy will admit to from his past, what story wins based off Jake’s decision/possible bias against his co-host, and if Sean wins a cassette tape of David Gray (Yep, that’s what he was playing for).
