The White House Correspondents Dinner Is Happening Again and Roy Wood Jr. Will Be Hosting
February 2, 2023
News
nerd prom, roy wood jr, white house correspondents dinner

It wasn’t too long ago that the annual tradition of the White House Correspondents Dinner was absent from the calendar after being a time honored tradition of the President, news media at large, and the rest of Capitol Hill got roasted live on C-SPAN. Between Trump and COVID-19, “nerd prom”, as it’s sometimes affectionately referred to, had been forgone or done with a historian rather than a comedian. Alternatives like Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’s Not the White House Correspondents Dinner happened instead because of Trump whining about not showing up to be ridiculed again (at the very event that many experts point to being the spark for him running for POTUS).

The White House Correspondents Dinner wasn’t going to be done over Zoom during quarantine/lockdown, so the WHCA waited until last year and tapped Trevor Noah to reset the annual event and, now, it seems like we’re back on track, on to some sort of “normal”. Today, the WHCA announced that this latest WHCD will happen on Apr. 29th and The Daily Show’s Roy Wood Jr. would take on hosting duties. Roy’s prowess as a stand-up and being a crowd favorite on The Daily Show should make for a damn good WHCD (and maybe will highlight why Comedy Central might go with him to replace Trevor Noah at The Daily Show desk).

Roy follows Trevor as the next host of the WHCD, so it kind of makes sense that Comedy Central would follow suit with their flagship show, right?

Feb. 18th and Sun. Feb. 19th, specifically at 11:15AM.

Hulu Revives “King of the Hill” After Cancelling “Reboot”, a Show Making Fun of Hulu Rebooting a Classic Comedy
January 31, 2023
News
hulu, king of the hill, reboot

The homespun satire of King of the Hill endures in the hearts and minds of its audiences that it captured well over a decade ago. That’s part of why Hulu is tapping co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels and the original cast to revive the series after it went off the air in 2010 (Deadline). Another reason why is, as the coffers of networks and streaming services get shallower and shallower, the dependence on content based off of popular IP (i.e. adaptations, reboots, revivals) is only growing stronger, seemingly every week.

It’s kind of a stark irony and/or a shot across the bow towards completely original ideas for TV and movies that only yesterday, Hulu original series, Reboot, a show sending up the corporate obsession with capitalizing on nostalgia on any given programming slate, was cancelled after only one season (Variety). Sharp writing that recalled the sort of pacing of Arrested Development could have blossomed into a go-to binge series, but Reboot‘s creators and cast are now relegated to shopping the show’s second season to other networks and streaming services (because it wasn’t an instant, chart-topping breakout hit?).

While impressions of Hank Hill still resonate with Gen X-ers and Millennials alike and the two will justifiably be delighted at the return of Hill and his family, such a move by Hulu is just one flag of many that are signaling that original programming is going to be even rarer than it already is on major platforms. Again, this is a notion that Reboot skewers quite well between a power struggle between a father who created a hit multi-cam sitcom in the 90s, his daughter who is seeking to do a “very special episode” reboot of the show, and an in-over-her-head TV executive that is getting a crash course in comedy while in charge.

Life imitating art can be kind of cruel, no?

We have no doubt in our minds that the next Atlanta, an all-out label defying original series is out there, but we can only hope that some major network or streamer will take a chance on it. Don’t be surprised if we get to a point where some phrase like “Completely Original” becomes a selling point for a show or movie in the very near future.

Pick of the Day: Amelie + Valentine’s Ball (in LA) 2/14

News
amelie, cinespia, los angeles, los angeles comedy, valentine's, valentine's day, what to do

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and, for the most part, pretty unavoidable. If you’ve got someone in your life that you’d like to do something with that particular day and they happen to be a big cinephile, you might find that most screenings of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Amelie are sold out around town.

Luckily, Cinespia has you covered as they’re taking over the massive Los Angeles Theatre in DTLA to have a very special Valentine’s Day screening of the enduringly charming, whimsical, humorous modern classic that is Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amelie from over 20 years ago. Not only will there be a exclusive Valentine’s screening of Amelie, but there will be a free photobooth, live music, and dance party.

All you got to do is snag tickets at $44 here and make sure you wear formal attire (or dress kind of like you’re in Amelie?)

There Might Be Consequences via WGA West for Warner Bros. Discovery Cancelling a Lot of What You Loved
January 30, 2023
News
warner discovery, wga

(via Deadline)

Tuca & Bertie, Gordita Chronicles, The Last O.G., Chad, Full Frontal with Sam Bee, Minx, and much much more has been cancelled/unrenewed/kicked to the curb over the last several months. This comes as a result of Warner Bros. making a giant merger with Discovery to become the sullied portmanteau of Warner Bros. Discovery. The conglomeration of so many networks and platforms here has led to downsizing and tax write-offs at a pace that TV hasn’t seen in a long, long time.

Unsurprisingly, lots of folks are mad, specifically the Writers Guild of America, West. One of the country’s feistiest unions are condemning what they’re seeing as promises proving false; the shrinking of opportunity for content creators, especially when it comes to women and POCs. It’s hard to argue that there is more opportunity with shows that were underneath the Warner Discovery umbrella being stripped from their slate while they’re in the middle of production (which is what exactly happened to Minx).

So, contract negotiations for WGA West are coming up in May and the effect of media conglomerates merging with each other will inevitably be a huge sticking point. It’s hard to say what might happen at this point, but it’s even harder to imagine that any sort of discussions of residuals/packaging/etc. will be started in good faith. Speculatively, there could always be the chance of another Writers Strike that brings Tinseltown to a screeching halt like it did in 2007.

Such a thing happening may seem far off, but Warner Discovery cancelling everything (and probably more to come) seemed unlikely too just about a year ago.

Who knows? Maybe you’ll get your favorite Warner Discovery comedy property back on the air if these negotiations get rowdy enough.

Pick of the Day: Dr. Brown Beturns (in LA) 2/28

clowning, dr brown, los angeles comedy, ucb

When it comes to clowning in LA, the ever-burgeoning, exciting, rebellious corner of comedy that has sparked the imagination and inspiration of a growing number of performers and shows and venues, one of the bigger figures around is Dr. Brown (Phil Burgers). A perennial international comedy award winner at such prestigious festivals as the Edinburgh Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Dr. Brown was and is a big part of clowning now being an integral part of the LA comedy scene.

That said, it has been quite some time since he’s down his own show. It has been years (even before COVID probably?) since that has happened.

Thankfully, the tides are changing and Dr. Brown is venturing out once again, often at PDA in Altadena, but specifically at UCB Franklin on Tues. Feb. 28th at 8:30PM for the aptly named Dr. Brown Beturns. Tickets are $20 and you’re going to want to snag them before they sell out here.

Process.

It’s one of the most mysterious and elusive elements in the art form of comedy.

It ought to be something special as you’ll get an in-real-time, up-close-and-personal look at exactly how some of NYC’s funniest do what they do best.

One of the most beloved cult comedies of all time, Party Down, is, after all these years, actually coming back. On Feb. 24th, Adam Scott will have to deal with folks annoyingly saying “ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?” while managing the misguided anxiety of Ken Marino and Party Down Catering. Also, the likes of Jennifer Garner, Tyrel Jackson Williams, Zoë Chao, and James Marsden will be in the mix for this long awaited season (in addition to a great cavalcade of cameos).

Hopefully, the existence of this trailer means that is indeed true and it won’t get un-renewed or something like other shows these days.

Season 3 of Party Down premieres on Starz on Fri. Feb. 24th.

Oh, you can catch up/rewatch the other two seasons of Party Down on Hulu right now.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 148: Bobcat Goldthwait & Leaving Los Angeles

bobcat goldthwait, oscars 2023

Even before the pandemic, Bobcat Goldthwait had one of the most fascinating careers in comedy history with, as he says, “selling out” first as a stand-up, then finding his way to be a beloved indie director with work ranging from World’s Greatest Dad to God Bless America to Call Me Lucky to Jimmy Kimmel Live. Goldthwait continued along his own path as he moved from LA to the woods in Illinois to maintain his “day job” of doing stand-up comedy in order to make his small, but fiercely loved movies.

On this week’s TCB Field Report, Bobcat talks wonderfully in-depth with TCB’s Jake Kroeger about the ever-changing landscape of comedy through film/TV/stage through all the decades he has been in comedy and what lies ahead in the decades to come.

Up and coming NYC comedy star Sam Morrison has really put himself on the map with his delightful solo show about the loss of the love of his life, Sugar Daddy. He has already done a go of it at the Edinburgh Fringe and is currently in the middle of run at the SoHo Playhouse.

As if that wasn’t enough, he just got to do a bit of it on Late Night with Seth Meyers as a stand-up set for his late night network TV debut. The way that Sam Morrison specifically has woven in humor through his own grief is so full of truth-is-stranger-than-fiction sort of surprises that we’re pretty sure you’ll want to see the whole story after watching this set.

Looks Like Marc Maron Is Going to Show Exactly How to Do Dark Comedy These Days in Upcoming “From Bleak to Dark”
January 25, 2023
News
comedy special, from bleak to dark, hbo, marc maron, stand up comedy, trailer

No matter which phase of Marc Maron’s career one may look at, there is an unmistakable tangle of dark comedy threads throughout his work. Of course, it comes from his candor, which was much more political in his earlier years, then got intensely personal over the last decade and half or so. In either case, Maron has a preternatural feel for how to find the comedy gold in the darkness of the human experience as opposed to what a lot of “dark comics” do by simply trying to channel unfiltered shock in their material.

With how times have been going and are currently going as you read this, Maron might be one of the most crucial voices in comedy and this latest special From Bleak to Dark might be further proof of that fact. Set to come out HBO on Sat. Feb. 11th, we’ve heard excited whispers of this new hour that Maron has been largely working out a clubs, namely The Comedy Store, Largo, and Dynasty Typewriter here in LA.

The trailer for From Bleak to Dark, just released today, seems to very much validate said whispers and we can’t wait to watch it to get in the perfect mood for Valentine’s Day.

We’ll all be able to see for ourselves when From Bleak to Dark premieres on HBO on Sat. Feb. 11th.

As more and more of comedy (and, for that matter, the world) discovers clowning in this day and age (beyond those unfortunate ones at a kids’ b-day party), the landscape of clowning itself keeps changing, much to the delight of its own community and those who chase watching every bit of it they can.

Karen Hall is one such an individual who has made a niche for herself amongst the burgeoning clowning scene in LA as she has mixed her background as a professionally touring cellist into her clown work. We’ve gotten to see a bit of her work and the brilliance of it at The Clubhouse‘s clown night known as Catsby, often accompanying Chad Damiani and a guest doing silent improv.

Karen is setting to do her very own show this Friday that will more vigorously blend the worlds of classical music and clown that will give a special clown-ish look at her very own unique trail that she’s blazed. Called Delusions and Grandeur, Karen will be taking the stage at North Hollywood’s Theatre 68 on Jan. 27th at 8PM with tickets only being $12. Go get them here and get ready for something like you’ve probably never seen before in all of comedy (even if you’re a big P.D.Q. Bach fan).

 

Watch Fabrizio Copano Make U.S. Late Night Debut on Corden

fabrizio copano, james corden, late late show, stand up comedy

Fabrizio Copano has already made a name for himself as a comedian in his home country of Chile and all around South America. That said, the very clever and charming (what a great cardigan, no?) Copano has been working hard at making in-roads in the U.S. market for comedy right before and during the pandemic all the way through to now where he just debuted doing stand-up in English on U.S. late night TV (he’s done plenty of late night in South America) on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Copano made a hell of a first impression with roasting his friend, the current President of Chile, maintaining boundaries as a parent, and dissecting the label of “American” (or ‘MERican).

Give it a watch and enjoy it here.

Here’s the Very First Teaser for Bob Odenkirk as ‘Lucky Hank’
January 24, 2023
News
amc, bob odenkirk, lucky hank, teaser

There was a whiff of a teaser that we’ve gotten for Bob Odenkirk‘s next big thing AMC, Lucky Hank, but there wasn’t much more to go off of other than seeing Bob’s face as the character and the source material, Richard Russo‘s novel Straight Man. That’s especially intriguing considering whether the split between comedy and drama would be for this show.

Seems like, from this very first teaser, that Odenkirk, as the titular Hank Devereaux, will be falling more into the comedy side of things. That seems explicitly clear as Hank seems inundated with the sort of life that makes his nickname ironic (especially the final moment of the teaser).

It’s just a tiny morsel, but it’s a pretty tasty one and one that is signaling perhaps a third acclaimed show Bob Odenkirk has been in on AMC.

Look for the premiere of Lucky Hank on Mon. Mar. 19th on AMC and AMC+.

In the midst of the far off time of quarantine, the brilliant comedic mind that is Kyle Kinane uprooted from his long time home of LA and headed on up to Oregon. Thus, in LA, we were unfortunately no longer gifted the chance of regularly seeing Kinane comedically explore the existential nature of whatever he happened to be going through at the time and doing so in an unbelievably colorful, almost poetic way.

As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder and any chance to seeing Kyle will be even more special these days.

Such days are indeed coming up for both LA and NYC as Kyle will be playing the hallowed stages of Largo in LA and Bell House in Brooklyn in the coming months. Kyle’s Largo date appears to be sold out, but you can chance stand-by tickets on the night of or check Largo’s site over and over to see if they added tickets. The 7:30PM-Thurs.

Dylan Adler, james corden, late late show

Dylan Adler had a banner year in 2022 for making so many best of/who-to-watch lists and putting out an amazing album Rape Victims Are Horny Too with collaborative partner Kelly Bachman, which all culminated into him getting hired as a writer on The Late Late Show with James Corden. With Dylan on staff for the last few months, we have been pondering what he would have up his sleeve and sort of sandbox the show might give him.

We need not ponder anymore.

Last night, Dylan got to make his debut appearance as a bit player/correspondent on Corden and really made the most out of his entire comedy repertoire (and acrobatic skills) by “attempting” to be a sports reporter for The Late Late Show. For our money, it’s the sort of appearance that puts late night/TV on notice and will hopefully lead to plenty more on-camera bits for Adler very, very soon.

Without further adieu, please watch and enjoy Dylan Adler’s late night/network TV debut here

News
Ben Wasserman, live after death, los angeles comedy, yard theater

We love when concept and venue match and we also happen to love when comedy explores and dissects into the inevitability of death. Thus, we naturally are very on board for the amazing Ben Wasserman‘s variety show about death that he ran out of a funeral parlor in NYC throughout 2022.

So cleverly called Live After Death, Wasserman made probably as silly and absurd a show about grief and loss as one can make, yet do so from a genuine place (Wasserman lost several people close to him over three years) rather doing so to be “edgy”. Ben is bringing his show to LA and doing a special performance at The Yard Theater on Mon. Feb. 10th at 9PM.

For those not looking forward to Valentine’s Day, this is probably the perfect show. Tickets are only $15 and you can (and should) go get ’em here.

comedy fans, everything everwhere all at once

Despite the pandemic’s best efforts, an inseparable part of live comedy is the live audience. Part of the thrill of performing stand-up/improv/sketch/clown/etc. is having a crowd of (hopefully) friendly strangers communing in order to laugh. We talk to performers all the time on this podcast, but what about hearing from those who revere comedy just as much as those that take the stage, but choose to revel from the crowd?

This week’s TCB Field Report has one of the best and most intrepid comedy fans in LA, Kenneth Rudnicki (who happens to be a therapist as well!) and we get into everything in comedy on the other side of that fourth wall.

Take a Look at What Goes Into Blake Rosier Doing a Live Show with a Craigslist Stranger (in Less Than Four Hours)
January 17, 2023
News
blake rosier, craigslist

Comedian/actor/creator Blake Rosier pushes envelopes so much that one might wonder how much further he can push it. Then, he finds a way to do it.

Case in point, creating an entire live show to be performed for a live audience only four hours before showtime with, on top of all of that, a complete stranger off of Craigslist. Rosier’s dedication to experimentation and collaboration, no matter how silly or absurd he has to be in order to pull it off, continues to be so engrossing (this is the second time he has done it and it’s still wildly unpredictable).

Rosier made a “documentary” following the journey of trying to pull off such a crazy stunt and it almost feels like reality TV of a performance artist (i.e. something we’re completely on board for despite hating almost all other reality TV).

Peer into the world and mind of Blake with this latest almost full length doc of his latest Craiglist show here.
