While marriage vows do usually talk about being together until death, Nikki Glaser gets into what being with one person for the rest of your life might entail sexually on the latest episode of Not Safe with Nikki Glaser. 

Specifically, she went to a wedding cake shop to ask couples to check on what they have and haven’t done in the bedroom (or in many cases out of the bedroom) before they tie the knot. 

There’s no doubt that the drive home after all of these interviews were at least a little awkward.

After watching, perhaps you’ll feel a little more sympathy when going to a used car dealership (or maybe just feel even more wary?).

We’re guessing that might give them a little more breathing room when it comes to censors.

While doing a special live edition of @midnight with Chris Hardwick down in SXSW, Hardwick, Doug Benson, Arden Myrin, and Chris Cubas will mark a first in late night by broadcasting the whole episode exclusively over live broadcasting app Periscope.

As Periscope will be essentially utilized as an over-the-top service in this instance, it’ll be fascinating to see what @midnight​ does with no traditional commercial breaks or specific time limits, etc. while all still be a TV show being broadcast live.

“Review” on Comedy Central to Have Short 3rd and Final Season

February 18, 2016
Uncategorized

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Rather than having to bend the rules of the universe they have created, Andy Daly and the team at Review are letting Forrest MacNeil get some peace… probably.

Review is one of the shows that is at the core of Comedy Central’s current renaissance, both in the writing, execution, and the fantastic work done by the show’s star Andy Daly. So, they’re going to preserve the integrity of the show and have an abbreviated 3rd season that might be as short as three episodes or even shown as a movie to tie up the mess that MacNeil has made of his life over and over again.

While it’s sad to see Review come to a close, it is great that Daly is ending it on his terms.
