Just take a look at this call sheet for The Jim Gaffigan Show.

According to them, Dave Attell, Colin Quinn, Eddie Pepitone, Bonnie McFarlane, Aparna Nancherla, Tom Papa, Rich Vos, James Adomian, Artie Lange, and Damien Lemon are all going to play themselves on the upcoming Jim Gaffigan Show that will be on TV Land and Comedy Central this Summer.

As it’s only one call sheet, we’re guessing this is only the tip of the iceberg as to who will be on the show. Maybe Louis C.K. will be on it, which almost might qualify as a crossover episode with Louie?

Not only is there some fun had between Quinn and Norton and Keith Robinson, but you also know that you’ve seen some over-the-top moments like these on any and all procedurals.

Jim Norton guest stars on the latest episode of Cop Show with Colin Quinn where he confronts Colin about the notion that he’s being portrayed as a rat. Colin does his best to tip-toe around it. By “tip-toe”, in this situation, we mean not really avoid it at all.

Colin Quinn’s Cop Show continues to expertly take on the real culprit in police procedural TV series: tired, hackneyed premises and writing.

This time around he has the help of Michael Che.

Perhaps, like Burning Love got on E!, Cop Show will become a show on a network that will schedule it next to episodes of Law & Order, CSI, NCIS, and all their various spin-offs.

Watch the latest episode here.

Colin Quinn Gets Cell Phone Endorsements and Jim Gaffigan on The Latest Episode of “Cop Show”

colin quinn, cop show, jim gaffigan, parody

Colin Quinn’s Cop Show continues its march to parody the oversaturation of police procedurals while also being able to poke fun at itself.

This latest episode showcases just that by having a Jim Gaffigan guest star as an African warlord then also trying to bait cell phone endorsements at the same time.

Someone, somewhere probably has behind the scenes footage of some procedural series that’s exactly like this.

Reality shows get the majority of parody send-ups these days, but that doesn’t mean other TV genres should be overlooked when it comes to poking fun at overplayed tropes.

That’s where Colin Quinn’s Cop Show over at L Studio does a bang up job of showing how ridiculous all the police, legal, and investigative procedural shows on television really are.

Watch the first episode here.

Colin Quinn is now getting into the web series game starting in at L Studio.

Starting Feb. 18th, episodes of Cop Show will start rolling out. By the sound of the title, we can definitely imagine Quinn’s series take on procedural cop dramas might be like Burning Love and Hotwives’ take on reality dating/married shows.

If anything, we’ll just be happy to see Quinn back in a series.

Scott Moran, the force behind Modern Comedian, has made a new web series where he captures 4 to 5 minutes of a comedian in front of a camera sans audio. They just inhabit the frame as they choose, much like you would see them in perhaps an animated portrait in a gallery exhibit at a museum.

So far, he’s gotten comedian screen tests of Hannibal Buress, Rory Scovel, Jim Gaffigan, Kristen Schaal, Nick Turner, Colin Quinn, Kurt Braunohler, Jared Logan, Shock G, and Chris Distefano.

If you can afford it, you definitely should have these all playing on separate screens in a gallery on a loop.
