Heather Anne Campbell Sells Warehouse Comedy to Fox
Heather Anne Campbell is one of the most imaginative, fearless, and hysterical minds and voices that we know in comedy.
So, we hope that Fox will not only pick up this project where Heather seems to satirize life in an Amazon-esque warehouse to series, but let her do this show on her terms.
If that happens, we bet that we’ll see something really special.
Well, there’s a lot to unpack here.
Jay-Z has plenty of layers to his brand new album 4:44 and the same goes for each song and accompanying music videos.
“Moonlight”, which features an sound byte from this year’s Oscars SNAFU when Moonlight and La La Land got mixed up for winners for Best Picture, has a music video that preempts the song with a big scene from a classic episode of Friends, but done with a cast of all famous black actors and comedians:
Jerrod Carmichael as Ross
Issa Rae as Rachel
Lil Rel Howery as Joey
Lakeith Stanfield as Chandler
Tessa Thompson as Monica
Tiffany Haddish as Phoebe
Before they go into a full remake of the episode, the song kicks in as the aspect ratio changes and a much more somber tone pervades the video. You might have to watch it a few times to even grasp how you feel about it and what you’ll take away from it in terms of black representation and visibility on both the big and small screens.
Also, there are outtakes that could stand alone on their own and also happen to include Hannibal Buress.
On top of all of that, Master of None co-creator Alan Yang got to direct the whole thing.

In the middle of Jennifer Aniston’s interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel pulled Aniston aside for something that’s he been apparently working on for a long time, his Friends fan fiction.
Of course, being fan fiction, Kimmel has made some notable edits, especially when it comes to the parts of Chandler and Joey. Watch it here.
