Keith Malley Releases His 11th Stand-Up Special “God Made Me” on Hulu
November 12, 2014

It’s rare to hear of comedians reach stand-up specials in the double digits, but Keith Malley of Keith and the Girl has just hit his 11th special with God Made Me: The Very Worst of Keith Malley.

At this point, Malley likes to take a little bit of a leap in concept for his specials, so the fun in this one is how dark Malley can go from all his material (i.e. “the very worst”). 

It was recorded live at the legendary Comedy Cellar in NYC and you can and should watch it right now on Hulu, which means you don’t need to “borrow” someone’s password).

After nicely delving into the dramatic with films like Men, Women, and Children, Jason Reitman is now taking a step into the new territory of the episodic as well as the digital realm. 

Hulu has just ordered “Casual” from Reitman who is set to produce and partially direct. While there’s a lot of directions that a dysfunctional family comedy with a bachelor brother and a divorced sister can go, we’re sure Reitman will steer it in a good one like he’s done with Up In The Air or Thank You For Smoking.

Going Deep with David Rees might just have been the pinnacle of double over laughing and learning something about everyday minutia that we took for granted.

Having its first season on the National Geographic Channel, some of you might not have been able to share in simultaneous laughing and marveling. However, Hulu has now the whole first season online for you to enjoy, learn, and guffaw until it hurts.

We highly suggest you do all of the above that right now.

So, if Hulu is really pushing for people to pay for a Hulu Plus subscription, this is a pretty damn good move.

(via Variety)

The Santa Barbara LOL Comedy Festival is reaching beyond its own very scenic surroundings by starting a Hulu channel that will feature daily content highlighting various events at the comedy festival.

We’d hope it would be clips from Jim Jefferies headlining or Ben Gleib and Kirk Fox taping their hour specials, but we’ll all just have to wait and see on Sept. 2nd when the festival begins. 

Hopefully, this venture is successful so other comedy festivals will follow suit and those not fortunate enough to go to places like Montreal, Melbourne, Austin, Portland, NYC as well as LA can see the any of the amazing things that happen at comedy festivals.

Netflix Has Just Passed 50 Million Subscribers From a Lot of Your Binge Watching

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Whether it be watching something like Arrested Development, Netflix stand-up specials, Orange Is The New Black, etc. the subscribers of Netflix have grown in number all the way past 50 million. That’s 1.69 million subscribers added worldwide from the second quarter of this year alone. 

In contrast, Nielsen reported recently that there are currently an estimated 115.6 TV households in the U.S., which comes out to a 1.2% rise from the last TV season.

While it seems unfair to compare worldwide Netflix subscribers to U.S. TV households, these numbers also don’t account for Hulu Plus subscribers, people watching HBO GO even with an HBO subscription, Amazon Instant, and more (i.e. the aggregate viewership of online streaming networks).

So, we wouldn’t be surprised to see, a few years down the road if Netflix commanded the viewership and produced the amount of content that a network does year round, which would be probably pretty great for comedy series/specials/movies/talk shows.

Though it’s still far from actually happening, Hulu has been discussing the possibility of ordering new installments of the recently canceled series on NBC known as Community.

Watch Fascinating Documentary on ‘The Business of Comedy’

Here’s a whole 48 min. documentary on the business side of comedy from Scott Sobel and Gary Licker if you’ve ever wondered about the history of people going from just telling jokes to making it a something that’s financially viable to the opposite of that to today where it’s definitely on the upswing. 

It’s especially interesting considering nowadays there are less and less huge touring headliners, but way more comedians then when people started performing stand-up.
