Kurt Braunohler did indeed ski down the Mississippi River for his upcoming CC:Studios web series Roustabout, which, as you can clearly from this preview featuring such guests as Kristen Schaal, Jon Daly, Wyatt Cenac, and Kyle Kinane, will be amazing.

Kurt is also still raising money to send goats to Africa for families in need as he has yet to meet his Indiegogo goal. Do help him out so Kurt can say that he jet skied to send goats all the way to Africa.

Joe Mande Willing To Do Podcast For a Million Dollars

Joe Mande has drafted a project in Kickstarter, meaning it has yet to be approved and subsequently launched, that poses the idea of Mande doing a podcast so long as he gets a million dollars.

If you pledge $1,000 dollars, Mande says, “I’ll mention your name on the podcast or something who cares.”

Whether or not this launches, Mande continues to game the Internet and we love it.

NBC’s Bill Cosby Comedy To Be Created By Mike Sikowitz & Mike O’Malley, With O’Malley Possibly Co-Starring

(via Deadline)

Bill Cosby may be returning to a multi-sitcom as soon as next year at NBC.

Coming in the summer or fall of 2015, Mike Sikowitz and Mike O’Malley along with Sony TV are set to create the show and O’Malley might be part of what’s to be an ensemble cast.

There are no details as to what sweaters Cosby would be wearing, but given his last few TV appearances, a shawl collar cardigan would be a good guess.

Last Week Tonight Finds That Warren G Harding Will Now Be Noted For Steamy Letters Sent to His Mistress

For the longest time, Warren G. Harding was a president whose name kids would memorize in order to be able to recite the names of every single U.S. president. None of his policies and his short term are remembered very much, but now that’s all changed with the discovery of some smutty letters, rich in detail, that he sent to his dear mistress.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver investigates further and finds he even nicknamed his penis in the letters.

You thought you knew how to dig a hole or tie your shoe. Well, you don’t know how to do it to the degree that David Rees is going to show on his new show on National Geographic, Going Deep with David Rees.

He wrote a whole book and made a career out of sharpening pencils, so surely he will shows us what we don’t know about other things that we take for granted.

Going Deep premieres tonight on the National Geographic Channel at 10PM.

Also, Harmon is going to go on another Harmontown tour in conjunction with the release. So, not that #twotoursandamovie was the goal, but Harmon has done something that few podcasts have ever done.

The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail: The Origin Story

Now that The Meltdown with Jonah & Kumail is a TV series having its series premiere on Comedy Central Jul. 23rd 12:30AM, you’re probably wondering how it, a great comedy show in the back of a comic book store, all got started.

Well, while it’s always been in the back of Meltdown Comics, it hasn’t always been hosted by Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani. In fact, the show had been going for awhile, but only went to the weekly phenomenon that we all know now with the forces of Jonah, Kumail, and producer/booker Emily Gordon coming together a few years ago.

Watch and hear the full origin story here.

Maya Rudolph’s Variety Show Still in Play at NBC

(via Deadline)

Following a solid showing by a one-off special, The Maya Rudolph Show is apparently in contention to go to series. It might be retooled in its structure perhaps, especially in regards to the balance between music versus comedy.

Still, it would be nice to see a fresh, new variety sketch show apart from SNL, even if Lorne Michaels is producing and many SNL alums including Rudolph herself are at the core of the show.

If this somehow gets Rudolph’s Prince tribute band Princess back on national TV, then we definitely hope this goes to series.

Conan O’Brien and SyFy apparently have something in common in that their current status quo in entertainment isn’t enough. Conan wants to do things beyond hosting a late night talk show, which he’s done for a score of years. SyFy isn’t satisfied with just a “Shark vs. Pterodactyl” movie.

So, on Aug. 2nd at 9PM on SyFy, Conan O’Brien will be appearing in Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda with an encore presentation on Aug. 30th.

Watch the announcement, and try like Conan to keep a straight face, here.

If you were to name comedians that mysteriously don’t have their own special, but absolutely should have one, Eddie Pepitone’s name would absolutely be at the top of that list.

Luckily, he’s got an hour stand-up special, “Eddie Pepitone- In Ruins” coming out on Aug. 7th and you better get ready for it. If The Bitter Buddha was any indication on how brilliant and captivating a comedian Eddie is, then In Ruins should be a damn good special.
