While Jena Friedman is going to be on Stephen Colbert’s Election Night special on Showtime that you’ll be able to check out later this evening (provided that you’re not cutting yourself off from all media to stay sane for the next couple of days), you can and should watch her very own exclusive, Election Day 2020 web series that you could almost think of as a handful of splendid segments on one of her Adult Swim Soft Focus specials.

She posted all four episodes early this morning and they don’t disappoint as they feature Jena drunkenly calling her local reps, checking in with the deranged former cybersecurity mogul John McAfee, and cameo appearances from her irresistible pooch, Potato.

As we head into the part of Election Day that people are going to hone in on returns (even through the unprecedented amount of mail-in ballots will postpone final results for awhile), please get some catharsis and joy from Jena here.

Undoubtedly, you’ve seen that there have been long lines for early voting and the ones for the official Election Day on Nov. 3rd is very likely to be no different and possibly even worst.

So, Abortion Access Front is swooping in to help folks past the time (in many cases several hours) while they’re waiting to vote in one of the most important elections of our lifetime. They’ll be doing a 12 hour live-stream marathon of comedy to aid in making it through some of the longest lines that people will have ever had to stay in with the comedy stylings of Baron Vaughn, Alonzo Bodden, Jenny Yang, Judy Gold, Jessica Kirson, Erin Foley, DeAnne Smith, and many more.

Abortion Access Front will be live-streaming Vote. No Joke. on Nov. 3rd 9AM PT/12PM ET to 9PM PT/12AM ET. You’ll be able to watch it all for FREE via Abortion Access Front social media platforms on Youtube, Facebook, @abortionfront on Twitter, as well as Comedy Hub’s Twitch channel.

If you’ve already voted, you can just enjoy a madcap marathon of great comedy that whole day while trying to not think about the results taking probably a week or two to count.

Borat 2 Will Be Streaming on Amazon Prime Right Before the Election

(via Deadline)

It wasn’t too long ago that the news that the sequel to Sacha Baron Cohen’s breakout film Borat was already in the can, which was pretty surprising on its own. That means Cohen somehow fooled enough folks in some sort of amalgamation of characters and did in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following that, we figured it would take some time to stitch together, but, alas, that doesn’t seem to be the case either.

Announced today, the sequel to Borat will be released via Amazon Prime near the end of October, conveniently right before the U.S. General Election on Nov. 3rd. It’s no surprise that Cohen would have anything up his sleeve especially since he hoodwinked Dick Cheney on Who Is America?. It does make us wonder though if Cohen actually has some actual “October surprise” in store for us all that’s not unlike James Comey’s ill-timed letter about investigating Hillary Clinton’s e-mails.

If he indeed does, maybe it will, at least, be more substantive to the election than what Comey found.

We’ll just have to wait and see. Also, if you’re taking a stand against Amazon, it might be a good time, in a few weeks, to take on that free trial of Amazon Prime.

The Weather Channel to Have a ‘Chill Marathon’ on Election Day

Taking cues from The Puppy Bowl that airs opposite The Super Bowl, The Weather Channel is looking to be your refuge on November 8th, which sure might be one of the most insane days in U.S. politics in this century.

From 12PM PDT to 9PM PDT next Tuesday, clouds, rainbows, smooth jazz, “autumn splendor”, and more look to soothe citizens of America on The Weather Channel after potentially hearing about Trump poll watchers incite violence like Trump supporters do at their rallies, unending flows of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, etc.

Between this, The Chris Gethard Show Election Special, Stephen Colbert’s Live Election Night: Democracy’s Series Finale: Who’s Going to Clean Up This Sh*t?, and Hillary winning, America can hopefully have a great night next Tuesday.

You can always count on Stephen Colbert for catchy titles.

The live election day special that Stephen Colbert will be hosting over at Showtime, as opposed to The Late Show over at CBS, will begin at 8PM PDT on Election Day Tuesday, November 8th.

This very first promo is a hint that Colbert will be definitely making use of the lack of censors.
