Tompkins, Bob Odenkirk, Lizzy Caplan, Nick Offerman, Fred Armisen, Weird Al Yankovic as well as the likes of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, Jenny Lewis, Aimee Mann, Kate McKinnon, and more will be stopping by to have a moment with Scott Aukerman and Reggie Watts next month, starting May 8th.

In promotion of their book Hollywood Said No!, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross chatted with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show last night as to what exactly Hollywood executives rejected time and time again, but we have a feeling that it’s pretty great anyway.

It’s kind of weird that David Cross is going on tour with Bob Odenkirk and goes on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to promote it, then Bob is just busy, right and can’t be there?

RIght? Well, luckily, Cross’ biggest fan was there to make up for it. Watch the clip here.

Patton Oswalt, Bob Odenkirk And Ian Roberts Join Horror/Coming of Age/Comedy ‘Kitchen Sink’

Apparently, this monster filled comedy set in a high school, “Kitchen Sink”, already has an amazing cast in Josh Fadem, Keegan Michael Key, and Joan Cusack and now has just added the likes of Patton Oswalt, Bob Odenkirk, and Ian Roberts.

With that mashing of genres and this cast, the set photos of this film alone should be both hilarious and great.

Odenkirk just tweeted that not only will all the above happen, but Brian Posehn will be joining them and tickets will go on soon for their tour that begins in September. Dates and pre-sale tickets links can be found @mrbobodenkirk on Twitter.

This headline is already great as is with the one and only Bob Odenkirk making a movie with director of Best Worst Movie, but read the full story at the link to get really psyched for what could be one hell of a comedy either late this year or in 2014.

It’s sort of odd to us that Set List: The Improvised Stand Up Show was born in LA and then toured the world to become a TV show in the UK and Australia and is only now distributed to the US, but we’re glad that it finally happened thanks to the Nerdist YouTube Channel.

Watch the first three episodes with TJ MIller, Glenn Wool, and Bob Odenkirk.

Bob Odenkirk & David Cross Adding Stand-Up Tour to Promoting to Their Book

Two things regarding this:
1) This should be really great and you try to get tickets when they go on sale.
2) If you do get to go, resist in yelling out the name of your favorite Mr. Show sketch in the hopes that they’ll do it live.
