Yep, you’ll be humming the Seinfeld theme like you used to do 20 years ago.
The day is here where all 9 seasons of Seinfeld are on Hulu for you to binge watch to your heart’s desire, then probably way past that.
So, start your trip down the Seinfeld rabbit hole right here.

This already has the makings of something great.
In 1938, famed film auteur Orson Welles aired his famous War of the Worlds radio broadcast that was so good that so many people thought real alien invaders had traveled across galaxies and started delving into panic and hysteria.
This comedy that’s in development follows the events of one town as they deal what they think is a real alien invasion and with Tony Hale and Anna Camp aboard, we’re thinking that it’s going to be a hoot.
We hope to see this on any sort of screen soon.
You thought you saw a lot of promise with the last trailer for Masterminds. With this new trailer, more promise of a crazy heist comedy is coming to fruition.
Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, and Owen Wilson are some of the luckiest inept thieves of all time, then hilarious have it out with each other as movie bank thieves do.
Watch the trailer here, then look for Masterminds in theaters on Aug. 19th.
Though Sen. Al Franken has been a senator for quite some time now, it’s still kind of crazy to think of how he has made the transition from a comedian that was on SNL to being a veteran lawmaker.
Yet, he has done just that.
Watch his chat with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show showing how he has put his background in comedy to good use in making an overall better work environment in The Senate for both sides of the aisle as well as getting a good laugh.
Here’s the extended interview parts one and two.

Jim and Pam in space?
Greg Daniels, the man behind the U.S. version of The Office, is on to his latest project which seems like it will center on the same sort of day-to-day and romantic tensions that Daniels has beautifully orchestrated in the past, but will now be set up in the sci-fi genre over at HBO.
There is no word on talent being attached or more details on the premise, but perhaps, if this gets picked up we’ll all have something to follow up Other Space with.
After, getting a prank stop sign, personalizing greeting cards, raising money to pay a sky writer to write “How Do I Land?”, jet skiing down the Mississippi for goats to be sent to Africa, you’ve got to wonder what’s next on Kurt Braunohler’s delightfully absurdist agenda.
According to his Instagram, he’ll be driving a man made butt that has a heart tattoo with “butt” written on it across this great land of ours starting next week. Presumably, this is the next thing to Roustabout-ish adventure for Comedy Central.
If there is one thing that we know that will bring this country together, it’s Kurt driving a giant butt around.
Stay tuned for more updates soon.

Sometime later this Summer, Comedy Dynamics will premiere their second season of their stand-up showcase series, Coming To The Stage, featuring some comics that you should definitely take note of if you haven’t already.
The line-up for this season includes:
Dave Stone
Josh Fadem
Rhea Butcher
Dan St. Germain
J.R. De Guzman
Megan Koester
Ashley Barnhill
Finn Straley
Donnivin Jordan
Tom McCaffrey
Tony Hinchcliffe
Vinny Oshana
While you’re waiting for that second season, you can catch up on the first season on Hulu.
Why? is Hannibal Buress’ first show that he’s the sole star of. As such, he wants to do everyone on his show to give everything they’ve got to make the best show possible.
Apparently, that includes wearing Hawaiian shirts and Hannibal isn’t afraid to enforce that policy.
Watch what happens in this new promo for Why? premiering July 8th at 10:30PM on Comedy Central.

Does Amazon know something great about season 2 of Transparent that we all don’t know?
Only having one season released, Transparent has broke all sorts of ground for comedy, Amazon, and, of course, the trangendered community. Off of that, it got a second season which will hopefully come out soon.
Apparently, all the strides the show has made as well as the awards that it has received have proved well enough for Amazon to order a third season from series creator Jill Soloway.
So, expect to spend plenty of more hours with the Pfefferman family soon.
Two ex’s that are addicted to sex try not having sex with each other while reconnecting in IFC Films’ Sleeping With Other People.
Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie push as close to the edges of the “will they/won’t they” paradigm, that exists in all romantic comedies, as they possibly can.
A supporting cast of Jason Mantzoukas, Amanda Peet, and Natasha Lyonne seems like thy offer some pretty great comic relief from the thick, thick sexual tension as well.
Watch the trailer here, then look for it in theaters on 9/11.
As one of the most prominent faces and voices of Comedy Central, it’s only fitting that they send Jon Stewart out with a bang.
While it’s invigorating to see Stewart rally for his last few weeks as Donald Trump has announced his presidential candidacy in addition to the fun tributes that have popped up here and there, Comedy Central is putting together a month long goodbye, “Your Month of Zen” if you will, for their star Jon Stewart.
Starting 9AM PST on Fri. Jun. 26th, they’re going to stream all of the 2000+ episodes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (going all the way back to Jan. 1999) right here. You can also watch the stream on the Comedy Central App.
On Aug. 2nd, fan favorite clips will be put together in an one hour special retrospective called “News Your Own Adventure” hosted by The Daily Show’s current correspondents. We hope this means that there is a whole segment on Stewart yelling about pizza.
This will all lead up to Jon’s final day, Aug. 6th, which will probably won’t involve a sleigh and flying into the night sky like Colbert, but will surely be as memorable.
If there was a perfect home on television for Will Ferrell giving a toast off the cuff of a couple he’s never met, it would be The Chris Gethard Show.
Watch what exactly went down, which really could have been a fun extra from Wedding Crashers.
Hari Kondabolu, Sean Patton, Lizz Winstead, Bridget Everett, Neil Hamburger, The Lampshades featuring Kate Flannery, Mike Lawrence, Solomon Georgio, Annie Lederman, Puddles Pity Party, Ophira Eisenberg, Naomi Ekperigin, Dana Snyder, Alison Rosen, Alex Edelman, Brett Hamil, Emmett Montgomery, Whitney Streed, Christian Ricketts, The A.V. Club Live, Writers of Brooklyn Nine-Nine featuring Gabe Liedman, Tricia McAlpin, David Phillips, Laura McCreary, Matt O’Brien, Lakshmi Sundaram, and more are set to perform at the festival.
If you’re in or around Seattle, WA on Labor Day Weekend, specifically Sept. 5th-7th, we’re guessing that a good portion of you are already going to Bumbershoot. If so, be sure to catch the comedy portion of the festival that has always had a solid line-up of both great talent from across the country as well as in the Pacific Northwest.
Just check the line-up above or watch Puddles Pity Party announce it here.
If you’re not going to the festival while around Seattle around that weekend, we suggest getting your tickets and going.

After The Late Show with Stephen Colbert premieres in Sept., this will be the next thing to look forward to.
The CW might have a power comedy block on its hand with the arrival of dark romantic comedy musical series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend starring Rachel Bloom, which, from the looks of it, will be air before the critically acclaimed and award winning series Jane The Virgin.
Both series and season premiere will air on Oct. 19th with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend at 8PM and Jane The Virgin at 9PM.

Mark Normand has a great track record of doing stand-up on Conan. He marked his third appearance last night and, like his debut set, cruised down a row of applause breaks with jokes on gender roles, bathroom attendants, racism, and modes of transportation all nicely tied together.
Watch his set here.

As far as alien centric entertainment goes, Jeff and Some Aliens is definitely better title than Independence Day Resurgence.
Once part of the animated series, Trip Tank, that featured several different cartoons, Jeff and Some Aliens from Sean Donnelly and Alessandro Minoli has gotten the upgrade to a full fledged series, much in the same way that Golan the Insatiable got upgraded from Fox ADHD all the way to a full Fox animated series.
Coupled with Moonbeam City, Comedy Central’s got some exciting stuff on their animated programming slate.
With a big dash of TJ Miller, the morning news is made all the better. Cities such as Omaha and Kansas City have found that out and now Detroit’s Fox 2 was the latest show to get the full TJ Miller morning news experience .
Watch TJ cover the weather, both physical and spiritual, do more “water bits” and…
…get into general goofball-ery with “The Nine” gang.
See Will Ferrell play every position on the field in #FerrellTakesTheField. Premiering Saturday, 9/12 at 10 PM pic.twitter.com/Wusyr2Fowa
While you’re looking forward to perhaps getting a Will Ferrell baseball card, you can also look forward to an entire special of Will Ferrell playing as many positions on as many MLB teams as he can during MLB Spring Training.
“Ferrell Takes The Field” will premiere on HBO Sat. Sept. 12th at 10PM and will be the second in line of comedy sports specials at the premium cable network.
If 7 Days in Hell goes well in July and Ferrell Takes The Field does the same in September, maybe HBO will do a parody of all those boxing docu-series that they do?

That’s right. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert isn’t on until September, but Stephen Colbert managed to be the first late night show host to have a segment of some sort weighing in on the milestone in U.S. history.
Such big news as yesterday’s Supreme Court decision that effectively made gay marriage legal across the country is usually met by comedy’s first responders (outside of social media) through the world of late night. We’re sure all comedians everywhere had something to say about it, especially regarding the dissenting opening from Scalia.
However, several most late night shows don’t tape on Friday like Conan, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Late Late Show with James Corden, @midnight with Chris Hardwick and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. The few that do tape on Fridays such as Jimmy Kimmel Live and Late Night with Seth Meyers opted for reruns this week.
In fact, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was scheduled to be the only late night show with a new episode, but he injured his hand to the point of needing surgery. Thus, he canceled last night’s taping.
SNL is on hiatus, so we were thinking we would have to wait for John Oliver to comment on this great moment on Last Week Tonight on Sunday.
Yet, leave it to the one and only Stephen Colbert to come up with an on-point remote segment from his desk that would otherwise be the type of opening monologue you’d be looking for on his era of The Late Show.
Watch Colbert continue to prove that he will do a bang up job on The Late Show right here.
To the countless thousands asking, there will be a season 2 of @catastrophe_tv. We begin shooting this summer. Thanks to all watching.
For those of you that have zipped through or are obsessed with Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan’s Catastrophe on Amazon, rest slightly in knowing that a second season will get production under way this Summer.
That’s what Delaney tweeted this week and as one of the series’ stars and creators, we think he knows best.
If you haven’t gotten into Catastrophe, do so now at Amazon.
