Seth Meyers lined up his first week of guests nice and big, but it’s even better to hear that the first comedian to perform under the banner of Late Night with Seth Meyers will be the very funny Michael Che.

Monday, Feb. 24: Guests Amy Poehler, Vice President Joe Biden and musical guest A Great Big World.
Tuesday, Feb. 25: Guests Kanye West and author Robyn Doolittle (Crazy Town: The Rob Ford Story).
Wednesday, Feb. 26: Guests Kelly Ripa, Brad Paisley and musical guest Brad Paisley.
Thursday, Feb. 27: Guests Lena Dunham, Anthony Mackie and musical guest John Mayer Trio.
Friday, Feb. 28: Guests Ian McKellen & Patrick Stewart, Sophia Bush and comedian Michael Che.

Also, Fred Armisen will be leading what will be known as The 8G Band (referencing the studio they’re performing in, not $8000), the rest of which you can get to know here.

Fred Armisen To Lead House Band at Late Night With Seth Meyers

Well, Late Night with Seth Meyers just got a whole lot more fun. There was a lot of speculation as to what Meyers would do with Late Night in terms of music, especially since Jimmy Fallon did so many musical bits and had the roots. Some said that he might not even have a band.

Armisen could be a nice comedic balance for Meyers not unlike when Fred would do characters on SNL’s Weekend Update.

Patton Oswalt and Fred Armisen To Be in Vegas Episode of Modern Family

Patton Oswalt and Fred Armisen will be guest starring on Modern Family later this season when the show takes a trip to Vegas.

Oswalt probably won’t get to do another improvised Star Wars filibuster/pitch, but let’s hope something like that happens.

LA’s MOCA Trying to Make ‘Art + Comedy’ Work in New Initiative

The Museum Of Contemporary Art here in Los Angeles is making an effort, specifically called Art + Comedy, to, as you can guess, bring the burgeoning worlds of comedy and high art together.

They are already well on their way in collaborations with Jack Black and Fred Armisen, but we’re curious to see what else MOCA is going to cook up and if they’d start something like a monthly comedy show at one of their spaces.

This makes us wonder how this will juxtapose against the other “art/comedy” exhibitions in LA, like the frequent pop culture tributes at Gallery 1988.

Jack Black, Fred Armisen to Star in MOCAtv Web Comedy Series

Apparently, Fred Armisen will be playing a superhero named Ambiance Man and Jack Black will be his complimentary villain Unidentifiable Odor. All of this is for a web series through the upcoming YouTube Channel of MOCA (Museum Of Contemporary Art) in LA.

So, we’ll have to wait until next Friday to see what this is exactly, but we’re pretty into it without a teaser or set photos.
