7PM PST The Chris Gethard Show at Comic-Con on Fusion
10PM 7 Days in Hell on HBO
11PM Conan at Comic-Con on TBS (final day)
12:30AM Bridget Everett’s “Gynecological Wonder” 12:30AM on Comedy Central
If you’re not at Comic-Con and have no plans, just look above and we’re pretty sure, with cable and HBO access, that you now have plans.
Doing rare promotion for his upcoming film Rock the Kasbah, Bill Murray stopped by to greet Comic-Con’s hallowed Hall H to give the “Bill Murray Experience” to the crowd in attendance, whether Murray would ever fess up to crashing any sort of party or not.
He quipped, he philosophized, he waxed poetic, and pretty much gave fans what they were looking for. You can almost imagine it as a deleted scene from Lost in Translation.
Watch his whole panel appearance joined by Rock the Kasbah’s Mitch Glazer and panel moderator Josh Horowitz here.

There’s no more appropriate place and time to unveil the trailer for a web series that’s about going to fan conventions than when the San Diego Comic-Con is happening.
So, Alan Tudyk has released the trailer for his amazingly crowdfunded web series Con Man that follows the life of a once great sci-fi TV star and the fan convention circuit that he travels around in years after the show was cancelled.
From the looks of it, we’re thinking this could be The Comeback for the nerd world.
You can pre-order it now before its release of Vimeo on Demand on Sept. 30th.

Life imitated art so well that it ceased to an imitation.
Apparently, folks in Chile were bootlegging their own Duff Beer as depicted as the beer of choice in The Simpsons.
Wanting to make the best of the opportunity, Fox has decided to license the beer that was being brewed, rather than shut it down, effectively making it official Duff Beer, and plan to distribute it throughout South America and Europe sometime next year.
Fully expect to see people trying to not claim Duff Beer when coming back from trips overseas in 2016.
Tonight at 12:15AM on Adult Swim.
Get ready to revisit the hellish day-to-day of being in hell with an entirely red Henry Zebrowski with horns as Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell kicks off its second season tonight.
To help, watch Henry futilely debate against Jack McBrayer as an angel.

This weekend, Chris Gethard and The Chris Gethard Show made a trip to The San Diego Comic-Con with an important mission: convince people that the name of our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., to Washington Marvel.
Gethard and company started a petition and went on the Comic-Con floor to see if they could get signatures. Watch what happened here.
If you want to join the cause, you can sign the petition here.
This weekend, they had 7 Days in Hell with Andy Samberg and Kit Harrington and in a couple months, they’ll have their very next comedy sports special, Ferrell Takes the Field.
Earlier this year, Will Ferrell played 10 positions on 10 different teams over the course of one day of MLB Spring Training and from the looks of this teaser, it has all the promise of a 47 year old Ferrell mixing it up in the big leagues.
Look for Ferrell Takes the Field’s premiere on Sept. 12th at 10PM on HBO.
Previously only available at LouisCK.net, Todd Barry’s great and innovative Crowd Work Tour special is coming to Netflix.
This Wed. July 15th, you can watch Barry work his low key, yet devilish charm on audiences across America.
So, make sure you have a Netflix password by Wednesday.
While DC still has a ways to go to catch up to Marvel’s current film franchise run (as well as getting on the good side of Chris Gethard), they get to still enjoy the gonzo stop motion animation treatment from Robot Chicken with their DC Comics Specials.
You can see the trailer, released at Comic-Con this past weekend, watch it here, then look for it on Adult Swim this fall.
(via Entertainment.ie)
While you’re still in the throws of Inside Out, get ready for more adult friendly, animated family movies coming your way.
While at the Galway Film Fleadh, John C. Reilly revealed that he signed on for a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph. It’s a good sign that there’s more and more animated family fare that holds up for adult audiences being developed including The Lego Movie and this sequel.
Just in case you’re wondering, more of your favorite video game characters from the original movie will be returning as well.
Looks like Showtime is gearing up to produce more comedy specials along with Audible’s Rooftop Comedy in the coming months. They have the two part SXSW Comedy with W. Kamau Bell special premiere part 1 on July 24th and are working on a Brian Posehn special that was apparently shot right before Comic-Con this weekend.
Here’s your first look at SXSW Comedy Part 1, which will have Matt Braunger, Mark Normand, Iliza Shlesinger, Beth Stelling, and Nate Bargatze.
Well, it turns out that the day after Comic-Con is just full of trailers.
Amidst Comedy Central’s very enticing slate of upcoming series, Moonbeam City has been one we’ve been waiting to premiere for quite some time.
Rob Lowe, Will Forte, Elizabeth Banks, and Kate Mara all voice the most gloriously rendered 80s sleuths, probably, of all time complimented by plenty of synth and neon.
Watch the trailer for Moonbeam City here, then look for its premiere on Sept. 16th at 10:30PM on Comedy Central.

Are you getting hitched and want a wedding band that not only plays all the “hits”, but makes it even more personal? Oh, and you want rapper 2Chainz holding a sax to be a part of it too?
Well, Jash’s Buh has the wedding band for you in ABSORPTION! that features Keegan Michael-Key, Jordan Peele, 2Chainz, a gong, and more.
Just watch their promo video here.
We should note that actually booking this band in real life probably costs a lot of money.
According to this latest edition of Bill Tull’s budget tips, he writes these tips himself.
In preparation for Conan O’Brien’s trip to Comic-Con, propmaster Bill Tull opted to make a new edition of his budget tips, this time focusing on cosplay.
Due to time restraints, the segment didn’t make air. Thankfully, Tull “fought” to have them shown on air in last night’s episode.
We’re fully expecting to see these cosplay tips be put into practice very soon.
More junket interviews should be like this.
At least one of the press junket interviews for Trainwreck has been conducted by someone who isn’t asking the same dull non-interesting questions that comprise most press junket interviews while also being funny.
Kurt Metzger, who writes on Inside Amy Schumer, got to conduct a “completely serious” interview with his boss Amy Schumer and her Trainwreck co-star Vanessa Bayer.
Like we said above, press folks should take a few cues to have more fun at junkets.
Watch it here, then be sure to watch Trainwreck (we saw it and it was great) this Fri. at a theater near you.
Our Next “Wormhole” Is Opening Up in a Few Hours
If you dare take a trip fantastic through the interdisciplinary interdimensions of comedy, come to Westside Comedy Theater at 9PM tonight and for $5 have you life changed forever, probably.
Also, get to see the comedic brilliance of Matt Kirshen and Pretty, Pretty Pony.
When you opt to wear the Women’s World Cup championship t-shirt, red, white, and blue headband and shorts on late night, you’re probably in the top percentile of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team.
That’s exactly the outfit that Jon Glaser sported on The Tonight Show and he wasn’t afraid to verbalize his support either.
What’s the most apocalyptic vision of an even more chill version of The Cure’s “Friday I’m In Love” by Yo La Tengo?
You don’t need even to think about.
Jason Woliner, the man behind-the-scenes for Eagleheart and the Brett Gelman Dinner With… specials and way more, put his hilariously dark touch on a music video for the song.
Watch and enjoy here.

Bureaucrats beware of Eugene Mirman, a comedian and a man who stands by his principles.
While enjoying an afternoon in Portsmouth, NH, Eugene Mirman found that he got a $15 parking ticket for parking in the wrong direction. Mind you, it wasn’t the wrong direction on the wrong side of the street, but a ticket for parking the wrong direction in a parking space as shown in this picture.
Rather than either paying it ASAP or willfully ignoring the ticket like most of us, Mirman decided to buy ad space in the local newspaper and publish this great open letter to the city of Portsmouth about his grievances over such the ridiculous parking citation he got.
We have yet to hear from the city of Portsmouth, but let’s hope they come up with something as sarcastic as POM Wonderful’s letter to John Oliver.

It’s on at 10PM on TV Land tonight and tomorrow at 8PM on Comedy Central.
You’ve got two chances to catch the premiere of Jim Gaffigan’s titular series. Please don’t miss out.
FYI, every week it’ll be on 10PM on Wed. at TV Land and 8PM on Thurs. at Comedy Central.
As the very first images of Pluto came in yesterday, Stephen Colbert was amazed at its surface as well as the idea that it’s no longer a planet.
In fact, he summoned Neil DeGrasse Tyson to try really understand why Pluto isn’t getting the love it deserves.
Oh, in case you haven’t figured it out, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert looks like it’ll be pretty great.
