FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler Responds to John Oliver’s Net Neutrality Segment

Uncategorized
fcc, john oliver, last week tonight, net neutrality, tom wheeler

John Oliver is definitely affecting change as the FCC’s Tom Wheeler had to address, in an official capacity, Oliver’s jokes about him during a segment on net neutrality on Last Week Tonight. In the segment, Oliver suggested that Wheeler is like a dingo in that you shouldn’t leave a dingo with your baby just like you shouldn’t leave Wheeler as the chairman of the FCC having be a former lobbyist for cable and wireless companies.

Wheeler felt it prudent during some sort of hearing that he should address the issue of his identity as a human or a dingo. Unlike Donald Rumsfield avoiding Louis C.K.’s lizard question, Wheeler earned himself another segment on Last Week Tonight with making an official statement.

Enter Your Comedy Short Into Ryan Singer’s “Flick My Clip”

The amazing Ryan Singer has been putting together, for years now, his own personal film festival of sorts by taking submissions and then showcasing them at various other festivals.

He calls it Flick My Clip and so long as you have a comedy short that’s under 5 min., has no copyrighted music, submitted by July 7th, hasn’t been previously submitted, then you should submit. So far, Flick My Clip will run at FilmDayton Festival and The Cincinnati Film Festival.

Weird Al Yankovic’s New Album Mandatory Fun Out on July 15th

It’s been a while, three years in fact, since we last heard a collection of great song parodies from the one and only Weird Al Yankovic. Luckily, we don’t need to wonder when and if there’s another album as he has a new album coming out next month called Mandatory Fun.

There are no track listings as of yet, so it’s all speculation as to what he might be parodying, but we’re excited that the release is only a few weeks away.

Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen To Make a Double Album for Kill Rock Stars

You did read that right. Hot Tub with Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal, which was one of the best comedy shows in NYC and is now one of the best comedy shows here in LA, is recording a live comedy double album for Kill Rock Stars. Joining Kurt and Kristen will be an amazing line-up featuring: Nate Bargatze, Emily Heller, Andres du Bouchet, Karen Kilgariff, Kyle Kinane, Heather Lawless, Eddie Pepitone, Eugene Mirman, and Aparna Nancherla. 

Both tapings are happening at Hot Tub’s current home, The Virgil here in LA, on Mon. Jun. 23rd and Mon. Jun. 30th at 8PM. We highly suggest getting tickets for this ASAP.

Monty Python Reunion Show To Have Big Dance Numbers and Will Be a “Little Bit Ruder”

Some details were released about Monty Python’s upcoming run at the O2 Arena in London. There will be some of your favorite sketches, but there will also be a large number of dancers dancing in big music numbers and have several costume changes. 

It would be hard to pull off otherwise, but Monty Python is indeed going to go bigger as well as a little ruder, whatever that ends up meaning. 

We’ll have to wait until next month to find out.

Brazil World Cup PR Is An Awful Lot Like The Sochi Olympics PR on Conan

As there are complaints about the conditions down in Brazil during the World Cup, Conan O’Brien had a chat with the head of public relations down there to see what the deal is. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), the guy (Andres du Bouchet) that Conan was able to reach was not unlike the guy (also Andres du Bouchet) who was covering PR for the Sochi Olympics earlier this year.

Kyle Kinane To Record New Special in August in Athens, GA

Having recorded Death of the Party and Whiskey Icarus on the West Coast, perhaps it’s time the East Coast got to see the amazing Kyle Kinane record a stand-up special. The 40 Watt in Athens, Georgia will get to see Kinane do just that next month.

Mark August 16th down on your calendar if you’re able to go (and you should make whatever arrangements necessary to do so). Tickets are not on sale yet, but be sure to snatch them up quick as soon as they do.

Showtime has now ordered the pilot of the Cameron Crowe rock concert comedy project known as Roadies that will be produced by J.J. Abrams and Winnie Holzman.

There’s still no word on casting, but with these names attached already on the project, as we stated before, Roadies will probably have a more than noteworthy cast.

If you can’t make it to the sold out shows at the O2 Arena or to a participating movie theater here in the U.S. for Monty Python’s live reunion, then worry not as the Sundance Channel has just acquired rights for it to premiere on their network. 

Still, if you can catch the shows live or in live broadcast, you should definitely go do that and then rewatch it when it comes on Sundance.
