During Will Arnett’s stop by Conan last night, we found out that there will be some ultra special guest appearances on the new episodes of Arrested Development and Will Arnett isn’t great at keeping secrets.

Also, we learned that, at Arnett and Jason Bateman’s Dumb Dumb offices, Will Arnett still channels Gob Bluth.

No need to ask yourself, “What if Ayn Rand had a talk show?” The folks at Funny or Die, Rob Delaney, Michaela Watkins, and some poor juggling kid give you an exact idea of what that would be like.

Enjoy.

On Conan last night, Billy Eichner was charged with the task of hitting NYC streets and finding out who people were supposed to vote for in a couple of weeks. However, Madonna was within the city limits, so Madonna’s biggest fan dropped everything he was doing to scream her name several times. 

The View has been having a comedy specific segment called Joy’s Comedy Corner, which, to some of your surprise has had some very good guests. To name one, they’ve had British comedian Simon Amstell and now, they just had W. Kamau Bell host of Totally Biased on FX. 

Even though Joy Behar claimed he’s alienating the audience the whole time, Kamau does great.

Funny or Die’s Nick Wiger just made the Gangnam Style parody to end all Gangnam Style parodies and all topical music video parodies in general. Please watch now.

Though it saddens us a little that we weren’t part of this when it happened, it doesn’t overcome the feeling of joy we get from watching possibly one of the best karaoke hosting duos to ever be of David Rees and Paul F. Tompkins on a cruise.

Leave all your notions of karaoke and cruises on your last browser tab.

10PM EST tonight (that’s 7PM here unless there’s a tape delay) on EpixHD, the hilariously dark Jim Jefferies’ latest hour stand-up special Fully Functional will premiere and you have a choice of watching on Epix if you have that on your cable/satellite subscription or online at epixhd.com if you sign up for it.

Just announced this week, both Brian Baumgartner and Craig Robinson are starring in their own series through their boss over at The Office, Greg Daniels. Baumgartner and Robinson are set to be at ABC and NBC, centered around an airline executive and musician, respectively.

Maybe this is the true beginning of the end for multi-cam sitcoms.

Reggie Watts is still hilarious, amazing, and probably a few adjectives we should just make up just for him no matter what he is wearing or what gear he is limited to. Watch his latest appearance on Conan. 

Following great panel appearances on Fallon and Letterman, Tom Hanks decided to step it up on The Colbert Report by doing a DIY Halloween costume/shameless plug of every movie he’s done including Cloud Atlas segment along with a Matt Damon cameo. 

So, he’s going to do the voice of Geoff Peterson on Ferguson next, right?

Todd Glass’ “Todd Glass Stand-Up Special” and Moshe Kasher’s “live in oakland” are available to stream on Netflix right now. Just admit it, along with Jim Jefferies special premeiring tonight, you’re staying in today/tonight and watching stand-up specials.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog made a long awaited return to Conan a couple of nights ago by crashing the last presidential debate, knocking everyone down a couple of notches including the president of Lynn University and a European reporter, and ruining every shot of every other show covering the debate.

In short, this should of been a segment they cut to during the debate.

According to this tweet above and a few other posts yesterday, one of the many projects that Dan Harmon has been working on post-Community has been picked up; this one called Rick and Morty, previously in development, made with Justin Roiland. Luckily, it’s at Adult Swim where the more irreverent side of Harmon is free to roam and make us all double over in laughter.

According to this tweet from Roiland, we’ll have to wait until late 2013 though.
