Girls Renewed for Season 4

With a 3rd season nearing it’s premiere and the order for a 4th season just ordered, we’re wondering if HBO just likes seeing what Lena Dunham will go for each season with Girls before renewing it. 

Either way, we’re glad to get more Girls coming for the next year or so.

The Saga to Make a Richard Pryor Biopic Possibly Continues with Lee Daniels

For several years, a biopic about legendary comedian Richard Pryor has been attempted to be made several times and has fallen short of being that very biopic. 

Perhaps, critically acclaimed director Lee Daniels will be the one to spearhead the movie to being made as he in talks with The Weinstein Company to do this elusive project.

If this happens, this might be the first Lee Daniels movie with a little bit of humor in it.

Chad Daniels Back For Another Late Night Set at Conan

Chad Daniels comes back to the stage at Conan for his second set at the show. Though they’re are definitely some purists who would disagree, we’re glad to see more comics dressing how they want during the late night sets like Daniels does here with a hoodie and letting their comedy speak for itself.

Watch Chad Daniels return here.

Comedy Central is doubling down in their series greenlights today with picking up Big Time in Hollywood, FL produced by Ben Stiller and the animated Moonbeam City, produced by Conan’s Scott Gairdner and Rob Lowe with Lowe, Kate Mara, Elizabeth Banks, and Will Forte all doing voices.

So, it’s a pretty good day for Comedy Central.

Conan O’Brien got his infamous associate producer Jordan Schlansky to finally clean up his office by bringing in a personal organizer unannounced to Jordan’s office. Of course, Jordan’s not so keen on the idea.

Conan and Schlansky are one the best running bits in late night.

Sony Pictures Classics Acquires Rights to Woody Allen’s ‘Magic in the Moonlight’

Another beautiful destination in the French Riviera around the 1920’s plus Woody Allen equals Allen’s next film Magic In the Moonlight, a romantic comedy that could make a start for a case of a whole french romantic period in the director’s career.

As Sony Pictures Classics has gotten the rights to the film in North America, we shall see.

Tim Minchin Developing a Groundhog Day Musical

While adapting any material into a musical can be suspicious, one of the Bill Murray classic Groundhog Day from the brilliant Tim Minchin is probably going to be pretty great. 

We hope this makes it to the stage and tours across the world so we can see it soon.

Aubrey Plaza, Oliver Platt, Jeff Goldblum Board Johnny Depp’s ‘Mortdecai’

Say what you will, but an action comedy about stolen art with Aubrey Plaza, Oliver Platt, and Jeff Goldblum with ‘Nazi loot’ pretty much has us sold even though it’s not a Wes Anderson movie. 

A teaser/trailer of Mortdecai needs to come out ASAP.

It seems the main thing that people talk about when it comes to living legend that is the TV series The Simpsons is the intro, affectionally coined as “the couch gag”. 

Well, what other series has newsworthy intros that are a funny tribute to Hiyao Miyazaki and another done by Bill Plympton? Answer: None.

We’d definitely watch a supercut of the best couch gags as a whole show.

NBC Orders Comedy Pilots From Casey Wilson/June Diane Raphael and Rashida Jones

NBC is seemingly off to a good start this round of pilot season as they have just ordered pilots from the hilarious duo of Casey Wilson and June Diane Raphael as well as one from the delightful Rashida Jones.

Perhaps, this time, they won’t let these projects go like they did with Mulaney.

HBO Sets Premiere Dates for ‘Veep’, ‘Silicon Valley’ & More

Too much time has passed from when the last season of Veep ended and for Mike Judge’s live action HBO series Silicon Valley featuring TJ Miller, Kumail Nanjiani, Thomas Middleditch, and more.

Thankfully, there’s premiere dates for both of those shows in April so we know exactly how long we have to fidgeting until they hit the air.

White House Addresses Jimmy Kimmel’s China Joke

Thanks to thousands upon thousands of people outraged last year over a joke apparently “at China’s expense” during a segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The White House had to take the time to not deal with more pressing matters and say that they can’t cancel Jimmy Kimmel Live because of the right to free speech.

Good job all of you outraged enough at an joke that hinges on its high level of absurdity to ignore the problems with healthcare, social security, etc. etc. on not knowing the U.S. government doesn’t have the time or could care less about shutting down something like Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Oh, in case you couldn’t figure it out in the previous sentence because you were a person that signed that petition, we were being sarcastic.

Tonight’s is offering up more than a solid block of TV comedy with the comedy partners of the moment Amy Poehler and Tina Fey back hosting The Golden Globes live at 8PM EST/5PM PST on NBC, which leaves more than enough time on the West coast to catch the premiere of Season 3 of Girls on HBO at 10PM.

We’d say plan accordingly, but it looks like we have already done that for you.

Ron Babcock and Michael Truly have made comedians eat some really disgusting things on The Why Would You Eat That Challenge? and do some weird stuff before that. 

Their season finale does not disappoint as sketching suggestive poses of Ron competitively to see who eats what can be described as Japanese fish semen is involved. You read that right.

Watch what happens that we’re guessing is NSFW here.

Amy Poehler and Brooklyn Nine Nine Take Home Golden Globes

For the “comedy” movie categories, Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street, Spike Jonze for Her, Amy Adams for American Hustle, and American Hustle took their respective Golden Globes.

We pretty much enjoyed all these winners throughout all last year and glad to see newcomer Brooklyn Nine Nine get a win over perennial favorites.

There isn’t really any vacationing according to the description of the pilot, but that still doesn’t take away from the hope that a Griswold reunion could bring about since Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo are together again for this ABC comedy pilot.

Let’s hope that it’s more like Vegas Vacation and less like Modern Family since ABC has that Modern Family base covered..
