Here’s a Nice Serving of TJ Miller Antics Including Him Taking Over Someone’s Tinder Profile and Cosplaying as the Iron Throne
When it comes to antics, few are as committed to goofing around as TJ Miller is.
Last Week Tonight’s Season 4 Teaser Is Pretty, Pretty Good
John Oliver and his crack staff at Last Week Tonight couldn’t come back sooner this year.
However, we have a few more weeks before Oliver takes up his desk behind one of the best satirical news shows ever on television. Season 4 of Last Week Tonight premieres on Sunday, February 12th at 11PM.
While we won’t have an episode of Last Week Tonight commenting on the inauguration of Trump right after it happens, Oliver made a great teaser (some might say pretty, pretty good) to tide us over in the meantime.
Conan O’Brien Goes Full Melisandre from Game of Thrones at Comic Con
The final night of Conan’s latest visit to Comic Con had the cast of Game of Thrones as guests.
So, in honor of them, Conan O’Brien did a Game of Thrones bit where he got to imitate Melisandre in her more infamous form.
Also, Andy Daly plays a bell hop that’s pretty great.
John Roy Returns in Pretty Much The Same, If Not The Exact Same, Outfit to Conan and Crushes
John Roy took the stage at Conan for a great set in 2012 with a dark hoodie and a red t-shirt.
Three years later, he did pretty much the same thing with what looks to be the same hoodie and t-shirt combo and another great set. Maybe he’ll make it a tradition?
Watch this latest and greatest set from John Roy here.
Coldplay Does a “Game of Thrones” For Red Nose Day
If there was a Green Day musical, is it so crazy to think that a Game of Thrones musical would happen?
For the big charity event Red Nose Day, Coldplay, the cast of Game of Thrones, and Liam Neeson’s voice all came together for this bit of fun of making a parody musical of Game of Thrones.
Whether this musical ends up being a case of life imitating art or not has yet to be seen, but, for now, you can enjoy this faux-self aware version.
Kristen Wiig Goes on “The Tonight Show” as Khaleesi
How much do you wanna bet that the pre-interview for this didn’t go past, “Well, Kristen’s just going to come as Khaleesi.”?
In her tradition of showing up as famous personalities that she, seemingly on purpose, doesn’t research all that much, Kristen Wiig came on to The Tonight Show as Game of Thrones’ Khaleesi. It’s probably the best way to promote her movie, Welcome To Me, about a slightly abnormal person winning the lottery and making their own talk show as well.
Of course, Wiig didn’t disappoint and we’d like to think that Westeros would just come under this Khaleesi’s rule by her charm alone rather than the threat of dragons.
No, You Shut Up! with Paul F. Tompkins Is Second Most Googled Show of 2014
Though No, You Shut Up! with Paul F. Tompkins is on a relatively new niche cable network, Fusion, people apparently googled the show more than True Detective and Orange Is The New Black according to a 2014 trend report compiled by Google itself.
No, You Shut Up! is only in its 3rd season and only Game of Thrones was searched more on Google more often. However, No, You Shut Up! unfortunately doesn’t get near the ratings that Game of Thrones does, but maybe that’s because more people have HBO or an HBOGO password than those that have Fusion.
Hopefully, all of that will change very soon because watching Tompkins, puppets, and guests in “heated” debate is pretty damn great.
College Humor’s All Nighter Imagines George R.R. Martin Writing Comedy Sketches
In absence of Games of Thrones tonight, let College Humor’s All Nighter (a night where they make 10 videos) sketch that envisions George R.R. Martin as a comedy sketch writer fill that void.
In case you’re worried, Martin is still just as vicious in writing sketches. Watch it here.
Beige Imagines Game of Thrones x Having Roommates
UCB sketch team Beige answers the question what if we all spoke like people did when they spelled old with an extra “e” at the end, but still had way too many roommates in our apartment.
Watch what that answer is right here.
Pete Holmes Defends Not Being Into ‘Game of Thrones’
Pete Holmes is not on board with ‘Game of Thrones’ for the most delightful reason. We cannot wait for Pete to follow Conan on TBS.
If You’re Not Watching The ‘Why Would You Eat That? Challenge?’, Then Start Watching Now
Ron Babcock and Michael Truly over at Tasted Channel have made one hell of a delightful and hilarious show in their Why Would You Eat That? Challenge.
See what we’re talking about with this episode done in the style of Game of Thrones.

1) Perform This Way by Weird Al Yankovic
2) Today: the wonderfully hilarious Jamie Lee will be hosting coverage of the Critics’ Choice Television Awards for VH1.com. Do not miss.
3) What Megan Amram thinks an episode of “Games of Thrones” is like without having ever seen the show.
“Enter JAIME LANNISTER, an important member of the 92,924,024-person cast. He has just finished elaborately sexing a glimmering satyr with his shimmering be-amuleted penis. P.S. There are 356,753,103 satyrs in this show. They are half-horse/half-sexy horse.”
4) The march for the Onion getting a Pulitzer via their own grassroots organization AFAJP continues with the celebrity backing of Arianna Huffington, Tom Hanks, and Mario Batali. I wonder what Literally Unbelievable will makes of this.
5) Louis CK doesn’t want his show to go on forever. [via Caroline’s on Broadway]
