Curb Your Enthusiasm’s David Mandel will be taking the reins upon Iannucci’s exit.
With family back home in London and an itch to do more movies, Armando Iannucci is stepping down from his own series Veep after four stellar seasons.
We can only hope this will go notably better than what happened in season 4 of Community and that maybe Iannucci will give British intelligence agencies another course on comedy in his spare time.
Most of you think you’re some sort of fearsome predator or noble, upstanding creature. According to the findings of Joe Zimmerman, the Internet thinks otherwise.
Zimmerman’s latest late night stand-up set on Conan showed what happens when a simple Google search goes fantastically awry, but ultimately ends up with you knowing yourself better, especially when it comes to spirit animals.
James Austin Johnson reaching his hand out to a wonderful crowd at Echoes Under Sunset for our 4 and 5/12th Anniversary, full of mirth, wonder, comedy, silliness, and dancing.

It truly was a spectacular night a week ago and we here at The Comedy Bureau thank all who attended as well as though who have kept us going throughout all these years and change. All of you make our efforts here worth it, despite not being any sort of “official” government agency with any government funding.
We also want to graciously thank Maria Bamford, Baron Vaughn, Candice Thompson, James Austin Johnson, Joe Wagner, Emily Heller, Drennon Davis, Karen Kilgariff, Brad Silnutzer, Avery Pearson, Christian Chavez, Echoes Under Sunset, Sarah Wood, and Mandee Johnson for all being part of or helping with the show.
The following is photographic evidence that this all happened.
Drennon Davis and Karen Kilgariff
Yes, dancing happened.
Oh yeah, this guy, Jake Kroeger. He works here and likes hats.
To another 4 and 5/12th years and beyond where we relaunch the website (happening soon), expanding beyond LA (hopefully happening soon), etc. (perhaps happening at a point TBD). Any donations (there’s a donation button right above the embedded Comedy Crawl and Open Mic Run calendars) would definitely expedite any of these things happening.
Once more, thank you all for making this, whatever it is exactly we do, worth it.
With Armando Iannucci’s exit announced today, the release of this teaser seems perfectly timed.
HBO’s new comedy series geopolitical crisis comedy The Brink starring Jack Black and Tim Robbins has just gotten its first teaser today. As it deals with politics on an international level, it might pair nicely to Veep.
We’ll see exactly how that plays out on the Brink’s premiere on Jun. 21st at 10:30PM on HBO.

If you didn’t feel that the montages of the SNL 40th Anniversary were in-depth enough about the history of Saturday Night Live, this should probably do the trick.
Bao Nguyen’s documentary Live From New York! will go throughout the timeline of SNL looking at the show’s inception, Lorne Michaels’ course at the helm, and the effect that it has had on American and global discourse in politics, pop culture, etc.
It’s set to play at the Tribeca Film Festival, but, for those of us not in attendance, we’ll have to chew on this trailer for awhile.
We really enjoyed Jason Nash’s “Jason Nash Is Married” last year and thus we think Nash’s latest film FML: A Social Media Adventure could use your help.
Interestingly enough, Nash’s last film featured him doing a podcast as that was what he was doing at the time when he was putting the film together.
Nowadays, Jason has become quite the star on Vine with over 1.5 million followers. As such, he’s making this film with Vine stars as a buddy road comedy with two guys, him as one and Brandon Calvillo as the other, from much different generations trying to up their social media presence.
The likes of TJ Miller, Patton Oswalt, Rob Corddry, Busy Philipps, Ken Marino, Andy Daly, and Paul Scheer will be in FML as well as Vine stars Cavillo, Brittany Furlan, and Sunny Mabrey.
They’re looking to raise $200K and are at $22,663 with less than three weeks to go. If you want to help and donate, do so here ASAP.

Our guess is this is Fox taking a cue from NBC’s recent live productions of The Sound of Music and Peter Pan.
Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of the most enduring movies with screenings at theaters across the country that still has enthused costumed fans standing in line waiting to see it again. So, if Fox is indeed trying to do their version for network television, a 2 hour TV special version of Rocky Horror is a pretty good idea.
There’s no cast currently attached, but we know that they definitely should try working Tim Curry in there somehow.
Well, it was only announced this morning, so, of course, all the tickets are pretty much taken.
Now that Netflix has ordered four episodes and a special of “With Bob and David”, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross have moved forward with this new sketch show, which will include segments performed in front of a live audience.
Cross announced free tickets for the tapings that take place throughout this month at Andrita Studios. A short time passed before all the tickets were gone, but there is a waitlist if you want to hold out hope that anyone with a ticket might miss out.
There are tapings for With Bob and David on April 15th, 21st, 25th, and 30th.
Good luck if you don’t already have tickets.
To clarify, we’re not exactly clear on how the waitlist will work here, but all TV tapings do have waitlists/standby lines/etc. as they do not want an empty seat in the house. As soon as we know exactly how they’re going about a waitlist, we’ll let you know.

Yes, there is more than just Game of Thrones tonight.
Following Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley and Veep have their season premieres tonight starting at 10PM and 10:30PM on HBO respectively making for one of the best hour blocks of comedy on television.
Do note that this is the last season that Veep’s creator Armando Iannucci will be at the helm and that this is only Silicon Valley’s second season after getting all the accolades as a freshman series.
So, again, don’t miss out.
You got a preview of his flowing mane on The Daily Show over a year ago and now you get to see it action.
Denis Leary is an aging rocker in his new series Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, but still very much in the wheelhouse of the Denis Leary we’ve come to know through stand-up, Rescue Me, and otherwise.
You can get your first look of the show in these two clips to show you what we’re talking about.
Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll doesn’t premiere until Thurs. July 16th on FX, so we’re sure a full length trailer is on the way soon.
2015 is going to be one great year for Paul Feig whether he’s kidding about doing drama or not.
The convention that gather movie theater owners, CinemaCon, has bestowed the honor of Comedy Filmmaker of The Year on the great Paul Feig. Though Feig’s work crosses between TV and movies, he’s still a prime candidate and has plenty of high anticipated projects coming up soon including Peanuts, Other Space, Spy, and the Ghostbusters reboot.
So, let’s really hope that Paul is just joshing around and will continue his wonderful work in comedy.

After over 3 decades on late night, David Letterman has 28 episodes left of The Late Show left concluding on May 20th and has made sure the last set of guests is a cavalcade of the show’s most memorable, big names.
Thus far, Letterman has “George Clooney, Robert Downey, Jr., Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Tom Hanks, Jack Hanna, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Keaton, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Sarah Jessica Parker, Don Rickles, Julia Roberts, Ray Romano, Paul Rudd, Jerry Seinfeld, Martin Short, Howard Stern, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Oprah Winfrey, The Avett Brothers and Brandi Carlile, Elvis Costello, Dave Matthews Band, Emmylou Harris, Norah Jones, Mumford and Sons, Ralph Stanley and Amos Lee, and many more names to be announced in the coming weeks.” for his final few weeks at The Late Show.
We wouldn’t be surprised at all if Bill Murray was the final guest as he was Letterman’s very first guest.
Please acquaint yourself with Andre Hyland if you don’t already know from being Jesse Miller, his acclaimed short film Funnel, numerous TV appearances in character, and more.
While bikes are a step forward in terms of conserving energy and fighting pollution, there is a possibly more green mode of transportation according to Ethan (Hyland) that you do.
Before you even ask, it is more annoying and cumbersome to everyone else. You can see for yourself right here.

Phew.
A couple of years ago, Personal Audio sent letters to many prominent podcasters including Marc Maron, Jesse Thorn and Adam Carolla threatening to sue on the grounds of patent infringement.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation took on Personal Audio to make sure that podcasting would be protected from this patent troll and that podcasters wouldn’t be unfairly shook down for their money.
Today, it was announced that the EFF was successful in this battle and that people currently podcasting are not infringing on Personal Audio’s patents. In a way, it’s the podcast equivalent of preserving Net Neutrality.
So, to celebrate, there’s probably nothing better to do than to keep listening to podcasts like you were already.
Just take a look at this call sheet for The Jim Gaffigan Show.
According to them, Dave Attell, Colin Quinn, Eddie Pepitone, Bonnie McFarlane, Aparna Nancherla, Tom Papa, Rich Vos, James Adomian, Artie Lange, and Damien Lemon are all going to play themselves on the upcoming Jim Gaffigan Show that will be on TV Land and Comedy Central this Summer.
As it’s only one call sheet, we’re guessing this is only the tip of the iceberg as to who will be on the show. Maybe Louis C.K. will be on it, which almost might qualify as a crossover episode with Louie?
The season premieres were last night and season renewals were ordered today. If only that happened more often on TV.
There indeed will be a season 3 of Silicon Valley and a season 5 of Veep coming to HBO even though the second and fourth seasons, respectively, have just started.
For those of that you don’t have an HBO subscription, HBO Now looks even more tempting, doesn’t it?
Oh, how great and silly this show has become.
Joe Lo Truglio was invited to do the show, but he still had a hard time actually coming on to No, You Shut Up with Paul F. Tompkins .
Watch what exactly happened here.
This has nothing to do with James Spader or spies (well, at least the ones that are on NBC).
As you very well know, so few original scripts get the shine that movies that are adapted from a book, tv show, children’s toy, app, etc. these days. That’s why it’s great that such a thing as The Black List that showcases the best in unproduced screenplays.
So, as it is still hard to make those movies and show them to a wide audience, Paul Scheer and The Black List are now collaborating on a podcast where the episodes are based on those featured unproduced screenplays.
With Scheer involved, there’s probably going to be a bit of heightening involved, but we’re more than looking forward to what most of Hollywood is missing out on being presented in audio form.
This new podcast premieres Thurs. on Wolfpop.
This album recording was supposed to happen almost a year ago, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, the recordings had to be pushed to this month on Monday Apr. 20th and Apr. 27th.
Still, we’re happy that an album capturing one of the best and longest running weekly comedy shows in the country, Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen, is happening all the same.
Two tapings, presented by our good friends at CleftClips, will feature, of course, the amazing duo of Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal as well as Kyle Kinane, Karen Kilgariff, Eugene Mirman, Heather Lawless, Aparna Nancherla, Eddie Pepitone, Emily Heller, Beth Stelling, Andrés du Bouchet, and John Roberts all at Hot Tub’s LA home, The Virgil.
Pretty swell, huh?
Kill Rock Stars just keeps adding to their already great comedy discography, which includes comedy albums from Hari Kondabolu, Cameron Esposito, and Kurt Braunohler.
Tickets will go on sale later this week. We’ll be sure to tell you exactly when that happens so you have a chance to not miss out on being part of Hot Tub history.

Get ready for Cranston to be done up Robot Chicken style.
In announcing their entire upcoming slate, Crackle has unveiled an animated series starring Bryan Cranston that’s set for release in the fall. Collaborating with Robot Chicken’s Matthew Senreich and Zeb Wells, Cranston will star as an older superhero attempting to lead other older superheroes in SuperMansion. Seth Green, Keegan Michael-Key, and Jillian Bell will also be featured voices in the cast.
Now we’re wondering if Seth Meyers’ The Awesomes on Hulu and SuperMansion’s superhero team “The League of Freedom” would ever have a cross streaming service showdown.
Hopefully, you’re caught up everything else so you can watch all of this in one sitting.
The first season of Paul Feig’s new show Other Space, that’s a full fledged half-hour sitcom, are available for your viewing pleasure and whenever it’s convenient for you/right now on Yahoo Screen.
You can watch all eight episodes of deep space awkwardness right here.
