Amy Poehler’s First Book “Yes Please” Out Now
October 28, 2014
Uncategorized
amy poehler, yes please

           

That’s right, Amy Poehler’s very first book Yes Please has just come out today.

While Amy has done so many great, hysterical things in film, TV, improv, and comedy overall, not to mention all the good she does with Smart Girls at the Party, it would seem almost hard to believe that this is only her first book. However, we’re sure that she’s well on her way to writing plenty of books taking from her own life, dishing out her own advice, and more.

So, pick up Yes Please today, which will also definitely make a great companion to Tina Fey’s Bossypants.

“Benched” Premieres Tonight on USA Network

benched, eliza coupe, jay harrington, maria bamford, oscar nunez, series premiere, usa network

While Friends of The People is premiering tonight over at truTV, USA is also having their own series premiere of Benched.

While a comedy following lawyers might be not enough to get you hooked, a star lawyer fallen from grace/a high rise to being a public defender starring Eliza Coupe and Jay Harrington also featuring the likes of Maria Bamford and Oscar Nunez should be enough to get you to watch this premiere.

So, check out/set your DVRs (in case you want to catch premiere of Friends of the People that airs at the same time) Benched at 10:30PM on USA Network.

Watch Dead Kevin’s NSFW Video on The Dangers of Trying to Explain Yourself When Being “Walked In On”

Whether you try to go the lying route or actually trying to explain what’s really happening when a roommate “walks in on you” doing something of a carnal nature, it usually never goes well. 

Here’s Dead Kevin’s great example of that, which we’ll remind you again, is probably NSFW unless you work somewhere that’s pretty cool/DTF for some reason.

This is the week that Chris Rock is hosting Saturday Night Live and we’re pretty sure that Rock, an ultra successful comedian, actor, director, (especially with his upcoming movie Top Five) and more is going to do everything his way.

Just check his promos with Bobby Moynihan that step outside into the streets of NYC away from Studio 8H.

(via Deadline)

Jason Bateman’s had a great feature directorial debut with Bad Words and will now follow that up with a film based on a Wired article that followed a man sold his life to investors. IPO Man (IPO is short for Initial Public Offering for when a company decides to go public on the stock market) will star and be directed by Bateman and should be right up Bateman’s alley.

Looking forward to more dark comedy from the auteur Jason Bateman.

If you ever get nostalgic about the days of Late Night with Conan O’Brien, you can always watch Conan on TBS Mon.-Thurs at 11PM. You won’t be disappointed.

However, if you really get nostalgic about it, you might enjoy a night where Conan’s old band leader, Max Weinberg, along with an über goofy bit had one more night together on last night’s Conan.

Eddie Izzard Taking His International “Force Majeure” Tour to Australia and New Zealand

Though Eddie Izzard won’t have to learn a new language to tour in Australia and New Zealand, it’s still amazing that he’s taking his latest stage show Force Majeure to as many countries as he possibly can. 

From Jan. 28th-Feb 20th, he’ll be touring extensively through both countries and you shouldn’t miss a chance to catch the brilliant Izzard.

Also, don’t confuse this with the new French movie of the same name getting rave reviews set during an avalanche.

Fox Buys Supernatural Comedy Produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck

(via Deadline)

It turns out that Project Greenlight is only one of the projects that’s bringing Matt Damon and Ben Affleck back together again.

Fox has just bought a comedy project from 30 Rock writer/producer Colleen McGuinness that will have Damon and Affleck serving as producers. The “supernatural” element here is that a twentysomething woman discovers that she’s telekinetic.

Make whatever “how do you ‘dem apples?” joke you want here, but this should be very intriguing in this upcoming pilot season, especially with all the other high concept comedies currently in development.

Comedy Central has been killing it on their channel as well as in the digital arena with CC:Studios, but they’ve got two albums line-up for release of their Comedy Central Records label that should make sure they’re doing quite well on that front well.

Come Nov. 4th, Cristela’s Cristela Alonzo will release “Some of the Hits” and the great Nick Vatterott will release “For Amusement Only”. Be sure to grab these up next Tues as we suspect that you won’t regret one bit.

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to Have Your Back on Midterm Election Night with Live Episodes

The confusion and rush of a midterm election can rival that one of a presidential one, you shouldn’t worry about what mudslinging ad campaign you’ll side on this year.

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are set to air live on Nov. 4th, the fateful day of this latest midterm election to make, at the very least, you laugh and hopefully understand some of what’s happening along with a chat between Jon Stewart and Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus. 

Also, the aptly titled “Democalypse 2014: America Remembers It Forgot to Vote” and “Midterms ‘014: Detour to Gridlock: An Exciting Thing That I Am Totally Interested In—Wait! Don’t Change the Channel. Look at this Video of a Duckling Following a Cat Dressed Like a Shark Riding a Roomba! ‘014!” should be enough to already make you feel good about the 4th that has no fireworks.

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

The Coen Brothers’ Hollywood-set-1950s period comedy “Hail Caesar!” following a “fixer” has drummed up excitement ever since it was first announced.

Taking a cue, perhaps, from the rising trend of announcing release dates years in advance, Hail, Caesar! has just locked a release date for Feb. 5th, 2016.

Fortunately, 2014 is almost over, so it’s closer to a year and a half that we’ll have to wait rather than two years for this.

Mitch Hurwitz Re-editing “Arrested Development” More Chronologically

(via Uproxx/Pretentious Film Majors)

Season 4 of Arrested Development had to deal with a lot of obstacles, one of them being the shooting schedules of its all star cast of Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Will Arnett, David Cross, Portia De Rossi, Jeffrey Tambor, Alia Shawkat, and Jessica Walter that after season 3 had launched into a multitude of other successful projects. Thus, many scenes in season 4 did not include the entire Bluth family together like season 1-3 and accordingly had a much different feel with many episodes focusing on a different character’s perspective in the same timeline.

Series creator Mitch Hurwitz revealed in an interview that he is now trying to recut season 4 to flow more chronologically smooth, which would presumably resemble more of the original series. However, when we’d see that on Netflix has yet to announced.

The comeback of “The Comeback” at HBO is less than two weeks away and many of you still might be wondering how the show was revived after being canceled several years later, just out of the blue.

Thus, Nov. 9th 10pm will see the return of The Comeback seemingly thanks to a lot of ardent fans.

After nicely delving into the dramatic with films like Men, Women, and Children, Jason Reitman is now taking a step into the new territory of the episodic as well as the digital realm. 

Hulu has just ordered “Casual” from Reitman who is set to produce and partially direct. While there’s a lot of directions that a dysfunctional family comedy with a bachelor brother and a divorced sister can go, we’re sure Reitman will steer it in a good one like he’s done with Up In The Air or Thank You For Smoking.

When you have an incredibly successful day time talk show, are a beloved actress and comedian, a winner of The Mark Twain Prize for Humor, and more, what is left for someone like Ellen DeGeneres to accomplish?

Launching her own version of YouTube is apparently on that list. 

So, Ellentube will be her own exclusive video platform that will post content from her show and otherwise as well as inviting users to submit their own videos that could be featured on the air on Ellen.

Though it was just launched, Ellentube  might end up being an intriguing contrast of the same model from Funny or Die, originally launched by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.

E! has just extended Joel McHale’s contract to be the host of The Soup through 2016, which might have a little bit to do with the McHale so readily shooting down the idea of him replacing Craig Ferguson at The Late Late Show all those months ago.

With Community returning on Yahoo as well, McHale will definitely get to have fun continuing to have his cast mates on The Soup.

(via Deadline)

Two weeks ago, Stephen Colbert announced that they were 32 episodes left of The Colbert Report. Unless we’re miscounting a pre-empted episode we forgot about, that means there are 24 more episodes at Comedy Central left as of the post being written. 

More specifically though, The Colbert Report and the character Stephen Colbert plays on the show will retire on Dec. 18th in order to take over for Letterman next year. So, mark your calendars.

Hopefully, something involving a fight for power with Jon Stewart will be involved when that happens.
