Having Done Her Last Letterman Appearance, Tina Fey Is Done With Fancy Dresses

May 8, 2015
Uncategorized
late show, letterman, tina fey

It’s as almost if Letterman’s final episode is a month long.

Tina Fey let everyone in on what exactly goes into fitting into a fancy dress that women often wear on late night or to awards shows and how she’s not the biggest fan of the whole process.

So, with that in mind, Tina declared that she will no longer be dressing up for any other late night hosts and only did so for Dave out of respect.

In fact, she even gave him her final dress.

Watch it here.

(via Deadline)

For all of us that won’t be in Radio City Music Hall, we’ll still get the live experience.

Comedy Central is actually doing a live-to-air comedy special with the one and only Brian Regan on Sept. 26th at 9PM EST. They’ll be broadcasting Brian Regan: Live from Radio City Music Hall and everyone can watch it live on Comedy Central at the same time similar to how the stream Opera at The Met in theaters. 

Do mark your calendars for this.

Documentary “Tig” To Open Outfest

May 8, 2015
Uncategorized
documentary, outfest, tig, tig notaro

(via Variety)

Yes, that’s the documentary following Tig Notaro for the last couple of a years.

Tig had a landmark album after suffering an incredibly tumultuous few months. After that, she has kept up a stream of amazing crowds wherever she goes like she did when she went topless at a live show last year. 

The documentary Tig follows that time after “Live” and if you have a chance to go to Outfest here in LA in July, you should definitely try to catch the opening night presentation of the film.

“The Spoils Before Dying” Will Premiere In Its Entirety Over 3 Days

May 9, 2015
Uncategorized
ifc, the spoils before dying

IFC wants to make the weekend after the 4th of July one to remember.

The next part of “The Spoils…” mini-series franchise at IFC will premiere July 8th at 9PM with two episodes playing back-to-back. The next two nights after that will also have two episodes of The Spoils Before Dying with each block playing at the same time.

This way, you won’t be left with too much time between possible hilariously overwrought cliffhangers of Michael K. Williams getting tangled up all in jazz, drugs and murder.

We do wonder if that they’ll quickly put the whole mini-series online somewhere right after the premiere weekend. 

Judd Apatow Is Co-Writing Comedy About Soldiers in The Iraq War

May 9, 2015

(via You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes)

A quick glance at Apatow’s IMDB page will show you that he’s venturing into new territory, which could be a good change of pace.

During a chat with Pete Holmes on his You Made It Weird podcast, Apatow announced that he’s working with award winning writer who wrote Redeployment, Phil Klay, on writing an original dramedy following the lives of the troops deployed during the Iraq War.

If anything there’s to look forward to, it’s the fact that there will probably a better comedy focused on the troops that have gone to Iraq than Delta Farce.

NBC Orders The Next Season of “Undateable” And All The Episodes Will Be Done Live

May 9, 2015
Uncategorized
nbc, renewed, undateable, undateable live

(via Entertainment Weekly)

Apparently, NBC is really in love with doing stuff live these days.

The Sound of Music, Peter Pan, and SNL have served NBC well as live-to-air shows. Now, Undateable will join that class as the entire next season will air live. Of all the series orders and renewals that were just announced, Undateable Live is one of the most intriguing.

This should provide for plenty more hijinks from the cast and way more present laughter than canned laughter as well as encourage people to tune in primetime rather than watch it some time later. 

We certainly hope that, as it’s live, Ron Funches milks every moment of great weirdness that he can.

Brian Regan stopped by The Ed Sullivan Theater once more to grace the stage for one more great stand up set.

Silicon Valley’s Hooli, The Rival to Pied Piper, Now Has a Website Too

We’re not sure where this is all leading in terms of life possibly imitating art, but we’re enjoying the ride.

While the fictional Pied Piper from HBO’s Silicon Valley is supposedly hiring, the show has now added a website for Hooli, the tech company that goes head-to-head at every turn with Pied Piper and is the company that Mike Judge seemingly likes to use the most to satirize the real Silicon Valley with, 

Gavin Belson isn’t hiring quite yet, but you can still enjoy the subtle ridiculousness of Hooli’s site here.

Review’s Forrest MacNeil Is Missing?

Ahead of season 2 of Review on Comedy Central, it would seem that the shows host Forrest MacNeil has gone missing.

The last known sighting of him was captured in this video. Comedy Central requests that you, “please tag all tips regarding his whereabouts with #FindForrest or send them to FindForrestMacNeil@gmail.com.”

Our guess is that you should look for Andy Daly somewhere in LA, perhaps with an Irish accent.

An Al Capone Festival in Iceland, the first documentary about the Inuit, drug cartels, a band called Blue Jean Committee, are just a few “subjects” they’ll be covering.

The minds of Armisen, Hader, and Meyers have banded together to make up fake history of which to do documentaries about. The series, which has been ordered for six episodes at IFC, is appropriately called Documentary Now!

Fred and Bill will star in the series donning a plethora of costumes and accents. 

Look for Documentary Now! on IFC starting Thurs. Aug. 20th at 10PM.

We’re not sure who you are reading this, but we’re guessing you’re not one of the final few guests booked to appear on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Still, if you want to say thank you to David Letterman like all those fancy guests are doing, you can give it a shot here.

Though not officially affiliated with CBS or Worldwide Pants, our friend Adam Spiegelman has put together a Tumblr where you can share your story about how Letterman not only changed the face of comedy, but affected you personally as well.

Hopefully, any and all of any age can see how much Dave means to several generations of folks who aren’t Tina Fey, Martin Short, Jerry Seinfeld, or Steve Martin.

Thanks, David Letterman is a nice crowdsourced goodbye to a legend.

Howard Stern and Don Rickles Rib David Letterman One Last Time

May 12, 2015
Uncategorized
cbs, don rickles, howard stern, letterman, the late show

Well, it’s quite something to see three showbiz legends sitting right next to each other on a late night talk show. 

It’s quite another thing to see two of those legends express their admiration for each other while the other legend, the host of said talk show, is made to wait his turn.

However, that’s the sort of great mischief you get when Howard Stern, Don Rickles, and David Letterman are all sitting side by side on one of the final episodes of The Late Show.

In fact, you even get more tomfoolery from Howard as he tries to kiss Dave.

Also, what Howard Stern appearance on Letterman wouldn’t be complete if he didn’t ask about Jay Leno?
