We’re almost two months away from Trevor Noah taking the reins to The Daily Show.

So, just as Jon Stewart is gearing up for his exit with tributes, goodbyes, montages, etc., Trevor is making his stops on the talk show circuit leading up to the premiere of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Sept. 28th. This week, he started with The Tonight Show.

Watch Trevor fit right in with riffing with Jimmy about the election and how he was dared into doing stand-up.

“Wild Tales” Wins The Majority of The Platino Awards

damian szifron, platino awards, wild tales

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

It’s good to see that one of the best dark comedies this year in any language took home a bunch of statuettes at a least one awards ceremony.

Hailing from Argentina, one of the best films we saw this year was Wild Tales from Damian Szifron. The balance between being unapologetically dark and absurdly hysterical is so wonderful throughout the handful of stories thematically connected in the film.

The Platino Awards honors achievement in Ibero-American film spanning 13 categories, 8 of which were won by Wild Tales. This sweep included awards for best film, best director, and best screenplay.

Hopefully, this will spell out more good things to come from Szifron in the not so distant future.

arranged marriage, documentary, meet the patels, semi-arranged marriage, trailer

An Indian man get his heart broken by an American girl, then deciding to give setting up a semi-arranged marriage a try sounds like the beginning of an actual romantic comedy movie.

However, Ravi Patel actually went through that and his sister, Geeta Patel, filmed the whole thing and cut into what looks to be a hilarious documentary, Meet The Patels.

See for yourself in the trailer here, then look for it in theaters on Sept. 11th.

Well, it looks like Dead Kevin’s Ahmed Bharoocha, Jack Robichaud, and Ryan O’Flanagan have some pretty “sweet” dance moves; emphasis on the “sweet”.

Watch them and be “amazed” here.

Watch New Trailer for “American Ultra”

american ultra, jesse eisenberg, kristen stewart, trailer

Proving more and more to be a more grounded version of NBC’s Chuck, Jesse Eisenberg shows off more of slacker/sleeper agent skills as well as balancing being Kristen Stewart’s beau in the new trailer for American Ultra from Nima Nourizadeh and Max Landis.

In a way, it should give you a little more faith in him playing Lex Luthor in Batman vs. Superman.

Watch the trailer here, then look for American Ultra in theaters Aug. 21st.

John Oliver Gives Us The Lowdown on How Much Food We’re Wasting on “Last Week Tonight”

food waste, john oliver, last week tonight

At this point, it’s a reasonable comparison to make that Last Week Tonight is like Schoolhouse Rock for adults that replaces a catchy song with spot on jokes about Channing Tatum and Donald Trump.

So, with that in mind, here’s your weekly deep, exploratory segment from John Oliver and co. that explores, this time, exactly how much food we’re wasting.

Eliza Coupe Gets Production Deal at ABC Studios

abc studios, eliza coupe, production deal

Whether it be Happy Endings, Benched, or a myriad of really funny web videos, we’d hope that you’re familiar with the great Eliza Coupe and get ready for some series of her own.

ABC Studios and ABC Signature Studios have signed a deal for Coupe to develop her own projects.

Hopefully, we’ll get to see what Coupe is cooking up before too long, especially since we feel Benched was cancelled way too early.

Whether It Be at Meltdown or Anywhere Else, Don’t You Dare Give Disrespect to Brett Gelman and Gelmania

Brett Gelman got to finally bring his Gelmania (w/Cyrus Ghahremani) experience to this season of The Meltdown with Jonah & Kumail as well as the rest of the world.

Watch why you should absolutely keep the laughter and applause infinitely going for him in his Meltdown set here.

We’ll All Get to Have Lunch with Stephen Colbert Every Day This Week

lunch with stephen, stephen colbert, the late show

Even though many of us are already charmed by one Stephen Colbert and are waiting as patiently as we can for his Late Show debut, he still manages to further charm and build his audience with all of his online content that he has released over the last several weeks.

Case in point: try not enjoying “Lunch with Stephen”, which will be done in 5 parts, each day, this week.

Blip.tv To Shut Down Next Month

blip, maker studios

While more traditional TV networks are finally coming the way of the Web with their own proprietary streaming service, one of the first online streaming sites is coming to an end.

As you can imagine, when YouTube started, they weren’t the only user-generated online video site in town. Blip.tv was one of those sites, but due to the ever-growing ubiquitousness of YouTube, it has since fallen to the way side. Maker Studios, which used Blip as their digital platform, has been prompted to shut Blip down.

If you’ve had a sketch, web series, etc. you’ve probably got an e-mail about taking your content elsewhere by Aug. 20th, when they go offline.

This just goes to show you how much weight your name holds nowadays in the online streaming game.

Here’s a Teaser for Tig Notaro’s HBO Special “Boyish Girl Interrupted”

On top of all of that, she has her HBO comedy special “Boyish Girl Interrupted” premiering on Aug. 22nd at 10PM.

“The Nightly Show” and Judd Apatow on “The Tonight Show” Torched Bill Cosby

bill cosby, holly walker, judd apatow, mike yard, nightly show, rape, sexual assault, stand up, the tonight show

As Hannibal Buress really brought to light the allegations of Bill Cosby’s rapes and sexual assaults, comedy was certainly going to keep that torch burning after that damning 2005 deposition was recently released in full.

So, The Nightly Show pretty much dedicated their entire show last night to taking down Cosby with a few, great incendiary bars rapped by The Nightly Show’s own Holly Walker…

…Larry’s opening segment going through the aforementioned 2005 deposition…

…and having a panel really break down why everyone needs to let go of their nostalgia of Bill Cosby.

Then, on The Tonight Show, a show that Bill Cosby has very memorably frequented over decades, let Judd Apatow do a stand-up set where he closed with a fine, scorching send-up of Cosby.

In case you weren’t aware, comedy isn’t going to let one of its former heroes have a mere fall from grace. Rather, it’s going to kick him all the way down and keep kicking.

Here’s the New Trailer for Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur”

disney, pixar, the good dinosaur, trailer

As evidenced by the boffo box office done by both Jurassic World and Inside Out this summer, the odds are in favor of you loving Pixar’s latest, The Good Dinosaur.

Combining both dinosaurs as well as Pixar’s deft ability to hit nerves that makes audiences of all ages laugh and cry, The Good Dinosaur from Peter Sohn, Enrico Casarosa, and Bob Peterson will probably make Thanksgiving better this year.

Just see for yourself in this trailer, then look for it in theaters on Nov. 25th.

That 90s Super Mario Bros. Movie Gets an “Honest Trailer”

bob hoskins, dennis hopper, honest trailers, john leguizamo, screen junkies, super mario bros.

While much of your fondness for the 90s is being exploited for how much you can’t stop loving it, Screen Junkies’ Honest Trailers revisits one of the worst relics of the 90s, the live action film adaptation of The Super Mario Bros.

Whether you’ve seen it or not, you’ll definitely be shocked how it got made. In fact, Paul Scheer did an episode of How Did This Get Made? about it.

Watch the Honest Trailer for The Super Mario Bros. movie here.

Rob McElhenney Set To Direct a “Minecraft” Movie

it's always sunny in philadelphia, minecraft, rob mcelhenney

If you’re thinking that this is like when Chris Miller and Phil Lord took on making a movie out of LEGOs, note that LEGO Movie producer Roy Lee is set to produce this adaptation.

Our last post did feature a parody trailer of a video game film adaptation gone wrong. Yet, we have a little trouble being skeptical of It’s Always Sunny in Phliadelphia’s Rob McElhenney taking on directing an adaptation of the mega successful video game franchise, Minecraft.

The irreverence and brashness of It’s Always Sunny, which Rob not only starred in, but created and wrote, leads us to believe that McElhenney could make a damn fun Minecraft movie.

Maybe they’ll build a lair for Dayman and Nightman?

Watch Taylor Orci and Jared Nigro as “Broken People” in New Comedy Central Web Series

broken people, comedy central, jared nigro, taylor orcie, web series

Taylor Orci and Jared Nigro took their Broken People channel and got Comedy Central to get on board to produce an eponymous web series.

Per the title, they’re both broken people that showcase how broken they are in a way that’s stark and darkly comedic.

So, check out their first episode here.

Watch Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani Try to Roast Each Other at “The Meltdown”

comedy central, jonah ray, kumail nanjiani, roast, the meltdown

Two best friends, who are successful comedians that started one of the best stand-up shows in the country that got made into a TV series in its second season, should be pretty good at roasting each other, right?

That’s “exactly” what happened when The Meltdown hosts Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani roasted each other on stage.

Watch it here, then be sure to catch the latest episode of The Meltdown, tonight at 12:30AM.

President Barack Obama Bids Farewell, Kind of, to Jon Stewart in His Last “Daily Show with Jon Stewart” Appearance

jon stewart, potus, president barack obama, the daily show

In the midst of a plethora of concerns as his administration is coming towards its end, President Barack Obama stopped by The Daily Show to chat with Jon Stewart one last time and bid him farewell.

Outside of his executive order going through, enjoy this last conversation that spans the full gamut of Stewart’s interview prowess.
