Fox Cancels ‘Party Over Here’

R.I.P. Alison Rich, Nicole Byer, and Jessica McKenna’s sketch series that we wish had more time to get on its legs because there was definite promise in the show.

We’re sure that you’ll be seeing the three of them elsewhere on big and small screens very soon. In fact, Nicole already has her own show coming out on MTV, Loosely Exactly Nicole.

Most movies and TV shows want to stop some catastrophe from happening if they’re invoking the technology of time travel within their premise.

Party Over Here is here to show you that time travel can be used for other things that don’t have the fate of the planet hanging in the balance and are, honestly, more fun.

We don’t know about you, but we think Party Over Here might serve Fox very well in the coming weeks as a sketch comedy show.

Case in point: this sketch where cast member Alison Rich gives uploading her consciousness online a try only to find that she’s probably not ready for the singularity.

Fox will finally be joining the ranks of late night once again, this Saturday, March 12th, with a brand new sketch show, Party Over Here. 

Alison Rich, Nicole Byer, and Jessica McKenna along with the guidance of The Lonely Island and Paul Scheer are going to bring what seems to be a more fast paced, fourth wall-breaking version of sketch to television.

Get your first look at what they all have up their sleeve here.

Nicole Byer, Jessica McKenna, and Alison Rich Will Star in a New, Lonely Island-Produced, Paul Scheer-Directed Sketch Variety Series “Party Over Here” at Fox

Though it’s going to air on Saturdays, it’s not going against SNL.

Party Over Here, which is also the name of The Lonely Island’s production company, will be the new late night sketch show that will run on Fox’s schedule. For years, Fox didn’t have any late night programming to really speak of and let their last sketch series, Mad TV, live in the shadow of what all its cast did after the show ended (i.e. Key & Peele).

This time around, Fox has plenty of comedy fan buzzworthy talent in the ranks of Party Over Here. Not only are The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer) executive producing the series, but Paul Scheer is directing and the aforementioned Nicole Byer, Jessica McKenna, and Alison Rich, who have all gained comedic notoriety on their own over the last few years, are headlining the cast.

The series is set for a Sat. Mar. 12th premiere at 11PM and will very notably not air against Saturday Night Live. Party Over Here will only be a half hour and also not broadcast live.

All of those moves are probably for the best. 

Here’s Another Installment of College Humor’s “If Google Was a Guy”

Having a clean, simple, faceless interface to literally type anything you wish to query is part of why we Google anything our hearts, minds, and other parts wish to Google.

Making that process into something more akin to asking a librarian is such an awkward experience that it has helped make College Humor’s If Google Was a Guy starring Brian Huskey one of their best series.

Saturday Night Live has started the process of getting their new hires. For  their first, they’ve made a fine choice in the very funny Alison Rich who you’ve probably seen in many a funny web video/sketch over the last few years.

For now, she’s only a writer, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see her as a full SNL cast member.
