Craig Ferguson Leaving The Late Late Show in December

Craig Ferguson Leaving The Late Late Show in December

In the wake of Stephen Colbert being set to take over The Late Show from David Letterman at some point next year, Craig Ferguson has opted against any sort of renewal as a host of The Late Late Show.

There is no word on a replacement, but we think that it could really go to anyone, an idea that CBS should keep in mind, given that Ferguson was definitely a roll of the die by CBS when he took The Late Late Show from Craig Kilborn.

Yahoo Orders ‘Other Space’ Web Series From Paul Feig

After a decade of doing features and doing the occasional producing and directing on various TV shows, Paul Feig is getting his own show once again. This time it will be through Yahoo, though, you should note that it will still be a half hour comedy and, from the sound of it, it might be Freaks and Geeks set in another galaxy. 

Look for 8 episodes of Other Space to drop later this year or early in 2015.

Jim Gaffigan’s Obsessed Charting on iTunes Overall

When it comes to comedy albums, rare is the occasion that one sells so well that it can compete with music albums. Of course, Jim Gaffigan is one such exceptional comedian with a fantastic new special/album that is currently charting on the overall iTunes charts as far as #4. 

Having heard and seen how great Obsessed really is, we’re not surprised. Get your copy at iTunes (album/special) and have it shoot up the charts even more.

Watch Trailer for Meta Rom Com “They Came Together” with Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler

For those of you tired of the rom com genre being so repetitive that merely A-list stars take turns having roles in different locales where two “unlikely” people fall in love, then David Wain and Michael Showalter’s They Came Together starring Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler might just be for you.

Just watch the trailer over at Buzzfeed (in the link above) and see for yourself. They Came Together is coming out on Jun. 27th, the same day as Transformers: Age of Extinction, but we can only hope that a stereotypical rom com also comes out on the same date.

Starz Orders 2 Seasons of Jonathan Ames-Seth MacFarlane Comedy ‘Blunt Talk’ Starring Patrick Stewart

Starz is slowly, but surely building up their comedy slate. Having two seasons of a live action comedy created by Jonathan Ames of Bored to Death fame and Seth MacFarlane executive producing is a good start.

An even better start is having that series star Patrick Stewart as an almost Ron Burgundy-esque character. With everything that this series, Blunt Talk, has going for it, it will be highly anticipated all the way until its 2015 premiere.

Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” Getting Four More Seasons

This means that there will currently be 9 seasons of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld. Seasons 4 and 5 have already been ordered before this announcement came through, which has us curious if Seinfeld has something big in store over the next several episodes. 

Whatever it is, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee probably now stands as one of the most successful web series of all time.

Well, The Onion is laying down a new gauntlet by launching Clickhole.com to make fun of the listicles and aspirational, dramatic headlines that both Buzzfeed and Upworthy have made themselves famous for on the Internet.

Already, there’s a pretty great primer for Clickhole.com right now before it’s launch in June. We’re really curious how or if Buzzfeed and Upworthy will go toe-to-toe with them.

It’s been a true privilege getting to see one of the best up and coming comedians (he’s one of the few to receive our Tip of the Hat) in Jerrod Carmichael rise virtually from the ground up here in LA. The fact that he’s getting an HBO stand-up special presented by Funny or Die directed by Spike Lee makes this even more amazing.

The tapings will happen at The Comedy Store, which hasn’t had a televised comedy special done within its walls in quite some time, perhaps since HBO’s Young Comedians over 30 years ago. If you want to go, there will be two shows, Wed. May 7th at 8PM and 10:30PM and free to attend with RSVP.
