Get Key & Peele Seasons 1 & 2 DVD or Blu-Ray Box Set
Our only question about this is how long are you going to wait before you go buy the first two seasons of Key & Peele?
The only exception to this would be waiting for the next box set to come out.
It was only matter of time before AMC, who made an amazing transformation from just playing classic movies to making its own landmark original programming, would get into comedy.
They’ve already ordered a project about two Echo Park female contract killers who are also friends, a pilot called We Hate Paul Revere, a project from Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg as well a project from Wyatt Cenac.
We’re very curious where they’ll fall between the likes of network sitcoms, Comedy Central, FXx, TBS, IFC, etc.

This Summer, Funny or Die is embarking on their massive comedy festival tour known as Oddball and, this time around, they’re holding a contest to find a stand up comedian to join Oddball.

Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil 2 Is In The Works
For all you fans of the first comedy, horror indie Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil, it’s been announced by Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk themselves that a sequel is on the way.
Hopefully, this happens ASAP.
Steve Coogan Horror Comedy Series to Premiere on FearNet
We really don’t care where a post apocalyptic buddy comedy co-produced by the amazing Steve Coogan will land. We just care that it will happen and happen soon.
Luckily, FearNet is that place and Save Our Skins, something along the lines of I Am Legend meets The Trip, starring Nat Saunders and Chris Hayward, Peter Serafinowicz, and Hannah Spear will air next week, starting Apr. 1st.
While you’re waiting for this latest season of Veep to premiere next week on Apr. 6th, pick up the box set for season 2 and catch up now.
You’ll feel better not borrowing someone’s HBO GO password.
The amazing Eliza Skinner got to do stand up on The Pete Holmes Show last night and you should really watch it whether you caught it live on air or not.
Really, she’s a name you should already know or commit to memory for how unbelievably talented and funny she is. Watch her set here.
During his panel interview last night on Conan, Hannibal Buress gave us some insight to his life right now, specifically on Scarlett Johannson being a fan and meeting her as well as tweeting out that Comedy Central picked up his show when really that was just positive thinking.
After watching the clip, let’s all hope Hannibal’s tweet of a vision board makes The Secret work for once so we can see him get his own show.
It doesn’t matter what the name of the show is, Bill Cosby is still going to mess with Jimmy Fallon with bungee jumping, tight rope walking, and Fallon’s impression of him.
Just like all the times at Late Night, Cosby’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is pretty wonderful.

Hari Kondabolu was on Letterman this week and not only performed a nicely done set of stand up comedy, but has a really great insight about the future, specifically, the year 2042.
“Incidentally”, his brand new album is also called Waiting For 2042, which you should pick up after you watch his set here.
As evidenced by this Saturday Night Live promo of Louis C.K. eschewing the normal goofiness of SNL promos for something more along the lines of his FXx show, C.K. is returning for the second time to host Saturday Night Live.
We can’t wait. 11:30PM, this Saturday, NBC.
Perhaps tired of being characterized by just his pan and scan of old photos and Americana music in the background, legendary documentarian Ken Burns opted for a new approach when doing a mini documentary on Eugene Mirman.
Conan O’Brien is stepping up the late night game by having a 360° thanks to AT&T on his set to capture every single thing that is happening on Conan. Just by clicking and dragging you can something that’s happening in the audience or if Andy Richter is doing something weird or a wookie is standing in the background.
It even works in embedded clips. Can’t wait to see what bits Conan and company concocts utilizing a full 360° of vision. Watch the details here.
RiffTrax Next Live Show Will Be Riffing on Sharknado
In addition to their riffing over National Geographic for a few hours on April Fool’s Day, a match made in cult movie heaven is in the works as RiffTrax is set to do their next big live event via Fathom Events (i.e. you’ll be able to watch them live via live streaming in participating theaters across the country) will be riffing over The Asylum’s Sharknado.
They’ll be doing so on July 10th and tickets will be available May 2nd.
Dave Chappelle to Play Radio City Music Hall
For any of those worried about another lengthy hiatus from Dave Chappelle doing stand up after his run during last summer’s Oddball Comedy Festival Tour, Dave Chappelle is about to play NYC’s Radio City Music Hall on Jun. 6th.
As this will be Radio City Music Hall and it’s not the NFL Draft, we’d assume there would be no issue in taping his set or general obnoxiousness.

‘Shameless’ To Hop Emmy Categories From Drama to Comedy
If you’ve taken note from The Golden Globes this year, the terms that define “comedy” in regards to awards categories are really being stretched, especially when In The Loop and Midnight in Paris are the only pure comedies that The Oscars have take note of over the last several years that immediately come to mind.
In contrast, with the flood of wonderful comedy on TV, that’s been less of a problem. Yet, this move of Showtime‘s Shameless to be considered for comedy rather than drama, despite it a move to possibly have more of a chance to be nominated, presents the same dilemma of genre blurring that makes it hard for quality shows, comedy or drama, to get the notoriety they deserve.
Though, it may be a little cumbersome for voters, we’d think a solution very well might be to expand the nominee cap and lump comedy and drama together.
NBC Announces Summer Premiere Dates for Amy Poehler Series, Undateable, and More

The hilarious Jon Daly, who you should know from such programs as Kroll Show, Comedy Bang! Bang!, or even his turn as Bill Cosby Bukowski, did Set List and, like he normally does with the rest of his comedy, possibly took us to the furthest reaches conceptually while still being funny that you might be able to go in improvising stand up.
