Jen Kirkman stopped by Conan this week and chatted about her latest stand-up special on Netflix, I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine), and what she really is getting at about dying alone.
Watch a clip from the interview here, then watch her special here.
We get to enjoy the comedic spoils of Josh Fadem and Johnny Pemberton all the time here in LA, but these “summer boys” are stopping through Tulsa/Norman, OK/Albuquerque, NM/Phoenix/Tucson for a tour that you should catch if you’re anywhere near those places from Jun. 19th through Jun. 24th.
Check dates and cities for Desert Touch Tour on the post above.

Thank You and Sorry is a crisp, black and white look at Jack Antonoff touring with his band Bleachers juxtaposed against what goes on behind-the-scenes in a heightened world that has the likes of Jason Mantzoukas, Colin Quinn, Rosie Perez, and more tugging Jack in all sorts of different directions.
You can watch the trailer here and watch the first episode at Google Play for free.
Oh yeah, Google Play has an original comedy series now.
This past week, the comedic forces of John Hodgman, Paul Rudd, and Nick Offerman teamed up to not only chat about Offerman’s compilation tribute book to some of his personal heroes, Gumption at The Book Con, but they offered, as you’d expect, mirth, wit, nerd friendly hyping, song, and some shoehorned plugs of Ant Man.
Watch all the fun that those in attendance had and relish in a clean shaven Offerman.
Also, you can get your very own copy of Gumption here.

Learn the unnerving truth from last night’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver about how bail really works when you’re up for a trial and what happens to the many people that can’t post bail as well as a sick Crosby, Stills, and Nash joke, awful bail bonds ads, and Last Week Tonight’s own “promo” for a pre-trial service “reality show”.
Last week was the last week of Reggie Watts as bandleader on Comedy Bang! Bang! as he has shifted his comedically musical duties to The Late Late Show with James Corden.
So, on his last episode, where they, of course, have Reggie disappear under mysterious circumstances and have the typically joyous Reggie Makes Music segment go awry with Lauren Lapkus.

You knew that Netflix was going to get into features and this is a pretty good way to start.
Based on the book The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War In Afghanistan by Michael Hastings, Brad Pitt will star in War Machine as a General that takes after real life former Gen. Stanley McChrystal. As it will be written and directed by David Michod whose resume includes such dark dramas like The Rover, you can expect this to go stark and dark with its comedy.
Netflix will distribute the movie in 2016 after its theatrical run. By that time, we wonder if more war and comedy will continue to cross paths like they have with The Brink and Aloha.
One of the best storytelling series around, This Is Not Happening is back again for what is technically its fourth season.
Two seasons of This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir ran on Comedy Central’s digital arm CC:Studios before getting picked up to run as a full fledged TV series.
Now, it’s going to get a second season at Comedy Central and we’ll get to enjoy diving into the unbelievable things that comedians get themselves into.
After announcing his bandleader last week, Stephen Colbert has to come up with an iconic theme to kick off his era of The Late Show.
He put a lot of hours of hard work in and apparently didn’t have his bandleader involved and came up with this.
Let’s hope Colbert keeps making videos every week until September.
Every year, the College Humor staff seemingly gets locked in their own offices and are only let out once again after making a bunch of fun, absurd videos throughout the night for what has now become the tradition known as CollegeHumor’s All-Nighter.
Well, that night came to pass a few days ago and they sure did make a bunch of fun, absurd stuff to watch including dystopian office birthdays, rejected song parodies, and awful wizard riddles.
Now, begin the countdown to the next All-Nighter…
It’s going to be even more “supremer”?
Tenacious D is having their 3rd Festival Supreme on Oct. 10th back at the Shine Expo Hall & Fairgrounds near USC.
Just from the looks of the line-up, Jack and Kyle are making for one hell of a day of music and comedy.

If you want to get in on the action, make sure to get your tickets on Jun. 11th here.

While you might have been let down by the recent feature adaptations, Titmouse Animation might be the ones to put your faith back in the classic comedy institution that is The Three Stooges.
The animation studio that brings you many of Adult Swim’s cartoons including China, IL, The Venture Bros., Superjail!, and Metalocalypse will be taking a crack at The Three Stooges and, we think, will probably translate them for modern audiences quite well.
They’ll be making 52 eleven minute episodes, so there will be plenty to binge watch when they get released.
You didn’t read that wrong. Two people nuzzle something while blindfolded to see who can guess what it is first.
Not only were the things that Corden, Offerman, Kemper, and Middleditch were nuzzling fun and definitely not for the very easily squeamish, but Reggie Watts got to act as the very serious referee as well for Nuzzle Waaa?.
This definitely raises the stakes as far as late night talk show games go.
Watch it here from last night’s Late Late Show.
(via The Hollywood Reporter)
Apparently, Paulilu and the Molyneux sisters are writing different versions of the same movie.
Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux have gotten Sony to buy their pitch for the female led version 21 Jump Street. Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello were already working on a script, but now the two pairs will be writing different scripts based on the pitches they sold.
There are no other details than that available at this time, but we wouldn’t be surprised if either movie is made, then the script for the other gets released online and people demand to see that one also get made.
If competitive eating can be a thing, then why can’t other activities that twentysomethings love to do drunk be a professional sport with a championship?
NYC based sketch group Temple Horses (Ryan E. Hoffman and Nick Ruggia) present if that query was answered with a World Series of Corn Hole featuring the very funny Andy Sandford calling “the game”/trying to maintain his sobriety.
Between lavishly painted bits and stories, a bit of sexual tension, the coolness without overdoing it, Dave Hill also manages to be damn hilarious while bringing all of that together.
That’s why you should get his debut comedy album “Let Me Turn You On” from AST Records right here right now.
(via Deadline)
They’ve teamed up for Foot Fist Way, Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals, and now, this.
Jody Hill and Danny McBride, the minds and talent behind the man myth that is Kenny Powers are collaborating yet again on a new feature project along with Josh Brolin attached and Scott Rudin producing. Other than those details and that Hill is directing and co-wrote the script with McBride and frequent collaborator John Carcieri, we only know that this project will be called Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter.
Our guess would be that it might be in the realm of Talladega Nights and Eastbound, but focusing on McBride as a hilariously foul-mouthed bad-ass hunter trying to cement his hunting legacy.
Hopefully, we’ll find out the exact details soon.
Jerry Minor has had an extensive comedy career from the legendary Mr. Show all the way to a comedy about shared offices, Sharing, that might surprise you after watching this chat he has with Paul F. Tompkins on Speakeasy.
Also, they fascinatingly touch a dab on male privilege via the perspective of male characters in comedy.
Watch the whole, as always, nice, long chat with classy drinks here.

Actually, we don’t know if there’s a really universally good way to break up with someone, but it’s still pretty fun to watch Thomas Middleditch “reenact” a break-up with Alexi Wasser on her show Alexi on Bed.
(via Variety)
For those of you watching TV when late night turns into early morning, be delightfully surprised to know that Tom Shillue will take over what used to be Greg Gutfeld’s job at Fox News.
Red Eye is a 3AM panel debate show on Fox News that’s supposed to have a comedic bent (Scott Aukerman even got into the mix on an episode) and has been hosted by TV personality Gutfeld.
Now, as Greg Gutfeld has his own show, The Greg Gutfeld Show on Fox News, the powers that be at the network have gotten veteran comedian and storyteller Tom Shillue to host Red Eye, which should be much more palatable to a wider range of folks so long as there up at 3AM or there will be easy to find clips on YouTube.
We’ll all get to see Shillue start the gig sometime this month.
On last night’s Late Late Show with James Corden, bandleader Reggie Watts switched hats to be a psychic for random audience members.
With a full band and singing his predictions, you’d probably not care that your psychic reading included a bunch of generalizations and guessing. Hopefully, your next psychic reading will be so musical and enthralling.
