Broad City Season 4 Trailer Hints at One Heck of a Season 4

June 5, 2017
Uncategorized
abbi jacobson, arturo castro, comedy central, hannibal buress, ilana glazer, season 4, trailer

From the looks of it, the adventures of Abbi and Ilana will be bigger than ever in this new season, but the chemistry of their friendship, arguably the unshakeable core foundation of the entire series, remains intact. For Broad City, we have no doubt that fans will watch dozens more episodes that would undoubtedly continue to be delightful.

See for yourself in the season 4 trailer of Broad City here, then look for the season premiere on Wednesday, August 23rd on Comedy Central.

When all is said and done with Trump, we have no doubt that The President Show with Anthony Atamanuik as Trump will be thoroughly referenced and cited in the history books because of wonderful work as shown in this remote segment.

Comedy Central’s This Is Not Happening does capture some of the crazier things that happen in a comedian’s life. Though all comedians have heckling stories, few do involve getting into an actual full on fight during the show.

Greg Fitzsimmons shares one of those rarer stories here.

Comedy Central Just Ordered 7 More Episodes of “The President Show”

Comedy Central Just Ordered 7 More Episodes of “The President Show”

This comes at a perfect time as SNL just had its season finale and leaving Anthony Atamanuik, the star of The President Show in playing Trump, in the throne of Trump impersonations. Also, Trump’s scandals are racking up at an unbelievable pace upping the demand to hear late night comedy’s take on it, specifically one with Atamanuik’s version of the POTUS. 

By the way, wouldn’t it be great if Trump got impeached and kicked out of The White House through the course of these 7 episodes? Crazier things have already happened from this Administration by the way.

In fact, he’s calling it “Jordan Klepper Solves Guns” and talks to the likes of Senator Cory Booker, Former Army Special Ops Soldier Pat McNamara, Members of the Georgia Security Force Militia, and gun experts, gun nuts, etc.

Whether or not Klepper actually fulfills the premise of the title of this special, you should probably watch it as Klepper has been doing solid work in the field for The Daily Show.

Jordan Klepper Solves Guns premieres on Sunday, Jun. 11th at 10PM on Comedy Central.

It’s a bigly night for television this evening as POTUS Trump (Anthony Atamanuik) will be commencing his own late night series, The President Show, at 11:30PM on Comedy Central.

One can only hope that Trump will obsessively watch this and tweet about it instead of signing any more executive orders or thinking about leaving NAFTA.

Here are some hot mic outtakes to keep you occupied until then.

For 2017-2018, Comedy Central Announces a Reggie Watts Competition, New Negroes with Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle, and Pilots from Arturo Castro, Neal Brennan, Noël Wells, and Awkwafina

It was already enticing enough to hear what Comedy Central has lined-up with late night thus far between Moshe Kasher, The President Show with Atamanuik’s Trump, Jim Jefferies, and Jordan Klepper’s new show.

Now, they’ve got a whole new chunk of programming and pilots that give a lot to look forward to.

Taskmaster, from Alex Horne, has Reggie Watts hosting a competition as the “taskmaster” between comedians performing “stupefying tasks”. New Negroes will be the TV adaptation of the live showcase hosted by Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle featuring new black talent. 

Comedy Central has also upped their digital series Alternatino with Arturo Castro and Delco Proper from John McKeever and Tommy Pope to full fledged TV pilots.

The other pilots include projects such as Neal Brennan interviewing celebrity guests in their home town, former Nightly Show contributor Franchesca Ramsey perhaps repackaging The Nightly Show, and a stand-up show from Jak Knight. 

Scripted half-hour pilots include a South Side Chicago based comedy from Bashir Salahuddin, Diallo Riddle and Sultan Salahuddin, a Queens based comedy following rapper/actress/comedian Awkwafina, an Austin based sitcom from Noël Wells, and an existential sibling comedy from Chris Kelly & Sarah Schneider. 

From this, we can only hope that Comedy Central reaffirms its place in comedy going forward as Netflix, HBO, and FX are currently riding the high tides of critical praise and awards.

At the stroke of midnight this eve, a blue hairy, eldritch, yet somewhat friendly demon known only as Gorburger, voiced by TJ Miller, will descend upon an unsuspecting TV studio to host his own late night talk show. 

You’ll be able to see if his bloodlust overcomes his curiosity of celebrity guests and playing talk show games.

Again, the TV series premiere of The Gorburger Show with TJ Miller airs tonight at midnight on Comedy Central.

This Fall, Jordan Klepper Will Be Getting the 11:30 Companion Slot to The Daily Show

This Fall, Jordan Klepper Will Be Getting the 11:30 Companion Slot to The Daily Show

Always trying to keep it in the family when they can, Comedy Central is upping Jordan Klepper from Daily Show correspondent to having his own show right after The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Monday-Thursdays.

Details are sparse at this point, but we hope that Comedy Central leans into Klepper’s exemplary work with his field pieces.

As it stands now, that does mean The President Show with Donald Trump (Anthony Atamanuik), which premieres later this month, will have to either close out its first season/cycle this fall or move to Fridays. We’ll just have to find out in a few months.

We Were Right About The President Show with Donald Trump as Anthony Atamanuik Will Indeed Playing Trump in a Late Night Show Format

April 3, 2017
Uncategorized
anthony atamanuik, comedy central, donald trump, late night, parody, president show, satire

Remember last week when Comedy Central announced a Trump themed show with very little details? 

We had a hunch that it might be a late night series with Anthony Atamanuik playing Donald Trump that might fill in that gap between The Daily Show and @midnight.

Turns out we were right on the money.

Anthony Atamanuik, the best Trump impressionist out there, will be playing Trump as a weekly late night talk show host starting later this month. Here’s an official announcement video.

“In the world of The President Show, Trump is bypassing the crooked media by hosting a late-night show direct from the Oval Office. No unfair questions from reporters, no awkward photo ops with German ladies, and no bedtimes. Just a fun show where he can put his unique Trumpian spin on such late-night staples as desk segments, field pieces and guest interviews.”

The only regret we have here is that this show hasn’t existed since November.

Look for The President Show to premiere on Thursday, April 27th at 11:30PM on Comedy Central.

Doug Benson Comes Out on Top in @midnight 2017 Tournament of Champions

Doug Benson Comes Out on Top in @midnight 2017 Tournament of Champions

In many ways, it would seem as if Doug Benson was made for @midnight. Excelling at quick wordplay and riffing on the Internet has lead to him being one of the go-to competitors for the show and, for 2017, the @midnight champ. Take note that @midnight​ has been on the air for over 3 years, meaning that they have a deep, deep pool to pull from for this now annual contest.

Benson won this week in the final round of The Tournament of Champions over at Moshe Kasher and Milana Vayntrub.

Paul F. Tompkins has been the only other @midnight​ Tournament of Champions winner.

With a new lease on life on Comedy Central, The Gorburger Show is looking to go for broke for how crazy the blue demon-hosted late night talk show will be. 

This trailer shows just insane it’s going to get with TJ Miller voicing the titular Gorburger and having his big time guests, which does indeed include the likes of Larry King and Kenny G, deal with Gorburger wishes. 

Look for the series premiere of The Gorburger Show with TJ Miller on Sunday, April 9th at midnight on Comedy Central.

Comedy Central Announces New Satirical Trump Show “The President Show” and We Have a Hunch That It’s Anthony Atamanuik as Trump Hosting a Late Night Talk Show

Comedy Central Announces New Satirical Trump Show “The President Show” and We Have a Hunch That It’s Anthony Atamanuik as Trump Hosting a Late Night Talk Show

Now, there are almost no details about this so-called President Show with Donald Trump other than two twitter accounts, @presidentshow and @latenightdonald, and a press release that reads “Late night TV is broken. A TOTAL DISASTER. I alone can fix it!”

However, there being a slot where The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore used to be and Anthony Atamanuik’s fantastic appearances as Trump on @midnight lead us to believe that this would indeed be a mutation of the late night talk show format on Comedy Central with the one and only Donald Trump, as played by Atamanuik, at the helm. 

In our opinion, Anthony Atamanuik has the best Trump impression out there. Between a series on Fusion, countless live shows, a nationwide tour, album, and more, Anthony knows how to skewer Trump by exemplifying his characteristics to a capital gold T.

So, if this indeed what we think it is, we’re all in for a wonderful treat that we’re guessing will start a Twitter feud between @realdonaldtrump and @latenightdonald.

The tapings will take place next month, Wednesday, April 19th-Saturday, April 22nd, in New Orleans at The Civic Theatre. You can get free tickets here.
