You will never catch Jon Glaser during a late night appearance without him wearing something outlandish as part of some outlandish character he’s doing. 

Turns out that one of his get ups during an appearance on The Tonight Show became kind of a pitch for what it is now Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter, coming to Adult Swim this fall.

Jon explains how this happened on this latest Tonight Show appearance, of course, dressed in a neon suit.

Midnight on Adult Swim.

10 years ago, Seth Green has led a team of full grown adults into making absurdist stop-motion animation cartoons with his favorite action figures at Robot Chicken. 

As a result, it’s now one of the pillars of Adult Swim and, with several collaboration specials and the 8th season kicking off tonight, it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon.

Are we in a golden age of goofy action/adventure animated series aimed at more adult audiences? 

Along with Archer, Moonbeam City, and more, this season 6 trailer of The Venture Brothers make an argument for that being the case.

Look for the premiere of this new season early next year.

After 13 seasons of a world where sentient fast food and humans can be friends, Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force is coming to its swan song.

Fortunately, renowned American singer-songwriter Patti Smith made an actual song Aqua Teen Dream that’s a kind of beautiful way to send them, them being Meatwad, Master Shake, and Frylock, off.

Perhaps the question of whether we’re alone in the universe or not is still a mystery because of how truly annoying and selfish humankind can be. 

Certainly, Rick and Morty presents the possibility that earth may be the one planet that the rest of the universe, aliens bent on destruction included, can’t stand.

Watch why here.

SEASON 3, BITCH! http://t.co/si5GkEZKrC

While the fate of Community is still unclear, you should definitely be happy that the other TV show that Dan Harmon is involved in along with co-creator Justin Roiland, Rick and Morty, just got picked up for a third season at Adult Swim.

We’re really glad to see that this news came on the heels of the season 2 premiere a few weeks ago.

At this point, we’d guess that people have Rick and Morty tattoos, right?

“China, IL”, “The Comedians”, and “HAPPYish” All Got the Ax This Week

We’re pretty sure this isn’t how the rule of three in comedy is supposed to go.

Adult Swim, FX, and Showtime all cancelled comedies on their networks this week. As the next pilot season is rolling around, this is the first wave of cancellations. We can only hope won’t be as bloody as the last round of cancellations where many freshman shows got axed. 

China, IL made it to third season at Adult Swim, but The Comedians, and HAPPYish only made it to the end of their first season at FX and Showtime, respectively.

Perhaps, it won’t be before too long before we see what’s next for Brad Neely, Billy Crystal, Josh Gad, and Steve Coogan.

Comic-Con is this week and it’s all too fitting to see action figures of any and all of your favorite things including Rick and Morty.

Rick and Morty was one of the best shows we’ve seen in recent memory and certainly could be the start of the next great animated series franchise.

Thus, we’re going to watch this season 2 trailer and yell “WUBADUBDUB!” over and over for a while until Rick and Morty season premiere on Sun. Jul. 26th at 11:30PM on Adult Swim.

A 7th season is a rarity these days, but leave it to Adult Swim to have several series far past their seventh season.

Announced today, Adult Swim has indeed ordered the seventh season of Childrens Hospital. It now joins Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, Venture Bros., and more in being among some of the longest running series at Adult Swim.

At this point, we wouldn’t be surprised at all if they got into the double digits in seasons as long Rob Corddry is still into it.

Jason Alexander as a therapist who snaps and then still treats people? We’re on board. 

Adult Swim’s latest pilot comes from Adam Lustick who you’ve probably seen on Harvard Sailing Team and will indeed have Jason Alexander as a therapist who just loses it, but still takes on his patients, giving them crazy advice on how to go about their lives. 

Somehow, this seems to mirror any and all who took any actual advice from George Costanza and applied it to their real life.

-another Brett Gelman “Dinner with…” special

-a special for Jon Glaser’s Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter
-Pilots from/with Paul Scheer, Million Dollar Extreme, Brian Huskey, Jason Mantzoukas, a Mexican border amusement park, Seth Green, Matt Senreich, Daniel Weidenfeld, DJ Douggpound, Bento Box, a children’s show hosted by a person that has rage issues, Rob Corddry, an upstart terrorist organization, and more.

We hope we get to see all of this very soon.

You’re going to want to probably rearrange your binge watching or just make more time for it altogether.

Hulu has just signed a big deal with Turner Broadcasting that will give them exclusive online streaming rights to a whole bunch of series from Adult Swim and Cartoon Network.

You’ll get to stream episodes and full seasons of anything from Adventure Time to Robot Chicken to Dexter’s Laboratory to Aqua Teen Hunger Force to Black Jesus to NTSF:SD:SUV to The Venture Brothers to Rick and Morty and way more.

On top of that, the deal includes some live action series from the TBS and TNT, which will include the upcoming Angie Tribeca from Steve and Nancy Carell. 

All of this starts next week on May 1st. The only thing better than this announcement would be if they got Will Forte as Ted Turner to announce it live somewhere.

Eric Andre Announces That There Will Be a Fourth Season of “The Eric Andre Show” in Typical Eric Andre Fashion

By now or just looking at the video above before you press play, you should know what “Eric Andre fashion” means.

Adult Swim has indeed picked up The Eric Andre Show for a fourth season and rather than send a press release, Eric went on Conan to do something more akin to the way he does things on his show. 

Watch how Eric did the announcement here.

Four seasons in, we wonder how Eric is going to pull off the kind of bits that he normally does with guests as there’s plenty of clips to watch to prepare themselves. Maybe more piñatas will be involved?

It’s not necessarily a who-live-to-tell-the-tale experience when guests do a segment on The Eric Andre Show, but host Eric Andre certainly makes a point of putting anyone who comes on the show through the ringer to a degree where some folks walk out and never speak of it again.

Jimmy Kimmel, however, knew what he was in for.

Jimmy Kimmel was a recent guest on The Eric Andre Show and revisited his experience, which he was game for, while on his own non-parody of a talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live with Eric Andre himself.

Also, if you wondering, here’s the full clip of Jimmy’s visit to The Eric Andre Show.
