Celebrity Deathmatch Reboot Being Developed at MTV Studios with Ice Cube Set To Star

The over-the-top claymation battles between pop culture figures from every arena (entertainment, sports, politics, etc.), for us, was one of MTV’s best forays into comedy ever. It was sad to see it go after its run in the early 2000s. 

That being said, it’ll be interesting to see how this series premised on fights-to-the-death-by-celebrities will figure into the TV landscape of 2019 (or whenever this might be picked up to series). MTV Studios is aiming for streaming services and premium networks as a move, we’d suppose, to not have to necessarily cater to censors.

As reboots and revivals are still the order of the day at studios and networks, we guess we can do a whole lot worst than a revival of Celebrity Deathmatch (though it has yet to be officially picked up anywhere). MTV Studios attaching Ice Cube is an interesting choice as well since this might be the first non-family-friendly thing he’s done in a very long time.

At the beginning of the year, San Francisco always has one of the biggest comedy festivals in the world, SF Sketchfest.

Just announced today, SF will be getting another giant comedy festival in the summertime, specifically June 2nd-4th, brought to you by Comedy Central.

The first ever Clusterfest has a gigantic line-up of the sort proportions and depth that Comedy Central can summon. It’s also the flip of most big time music and arts festival in that it’s mostly comedy with a bit of music as opposed to there being a comedy tent and lots and lots and lots of music a la Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, etc. (Note: producers of both those festivals are involved here). See the line-up below or in this glitterbomb filled announcement video here.

Tickets/passes go on sale this Thursday, March 2nd here. They range from $199.50 earlybird pass-$599.50 VIP Pass.

Of course, Conan O’Brien’s first remote segment of 2016 is so damn funny as all his remotes are so damn funny. 

This time, Conan helps a Team Coco staffer Diana Chang get ready for her driving test and brings along experienced driving instructors(?) Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. The results probably have overprepared Diana and give us the Ice Cube that the country got into from the first Friday.

Watch it all here.
