Kicking off the year with carefully crafted, vicious sh*t talking seems to be somehow appropriate for 2017.
In that spirit, Roast Battle II headed to NYC for its first set of regional rounds and you can see what went down tonight at Comedy Central at 11PM.
Get a taste of it with this clip of Yamaneika Saunders vs. J.P. McDade.
The Goddamn Comedy Jam Special Premieres Tonight
Tune in at 11:30PM on Comedy Central.
Pete Davidson, Natasha Leggero, Jim Jefferies, Jay Pharoah, Adam DeVine, Josh Adam Meyers, and his band Elemenopy will dish out jokes and then rock the mic with a song of their choosing.
Don’t worry, you should have time to watch both the MTV VMAs and then immediately after.
SNL Vets Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah Not Returning for Season 42
Each had six seasons of Saturday Night Live under their belt and are now free to explore other projects like Killam was already doing with a movie he was directing.
We’re guessing that Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah might take a slightly different route post-SNL given their specific comedic skill sets as compared to recent SNL alums like Kristen Wii and, Fred Armisen. That being said, we can see Killam follow the model of Jason Sudeikis’ very successful film and TV career that now spans comedy and drama given that filled a very similar role on Saturday Night Live.
To be featured at Politicon this weekend:
-Pres. Vicente Fox in conversation with Al Madrigal and Alejandra Campoverdi

The hit show The Goddamn Comedy Jam is getting an hour special on Comedy Central. The names above will do stand-up and then belt out a song of their own along with host/ringleader to the jam, Josh Adam Meyers, at the taping that’s happening on Tuesday, June 21st.

Earlier this year, we reported on an enticing R-rated animated feature in the works called The Adventures of Drunky that follows a bet for the fate of the planet between God and The Devil and a drunk.
From top billing to cameos, the cast is stellar including Sam Rockwell, Steve Coogan, Jeffrey Tambor, Dave Attell, Tyler The Creator, Abby Elliott, John Leguizamo, Jon Glaser, Jay Pharoah, Noel Wells, and James Adomian.
Sounds pretty great, right?
Well, Augenblick Studios has the script done and the dialogue recorded, but need funds to finish animating the whole thing. Thus, an Indiegogo campaign was born.
So far, they’ve raised $27,331 at the time of this post out of their minimum $100K goal. That will get them through the next step of production, but they’re looking to raise $2 million to finish the entire movie. They have just over three weeks to reach their goal and have fabulous rewards at various donations levels including lunch with Jeffrey Tambor, a personal insult voicemail from Dave Attell, digital copy of the movie and more.
You can (and should) donate here.
9PM on PBS.
While Eddie Murphy has already received his actual Mark Twain Prize for Humor at the ceremony, the rest of us only know that he ribbed Bill Cosby during his acceptance speech.
We don’t know what Kevin Nealon Jay Pharoah, and more were up to during the ceremony, but it seems like they were there honoring Eddie in their own particular way.
We’ll definitely be curious to see if Eddie’s acceptance speech goes a little more into some bits/material/etc.
If they can make a gritty Snow White remake, why not a gritty update for Bambi?
That’s what SNL was thinking lat night when they made a trailer for something that’s a Fast and Furious 7 meets a live action Bambi with The Rock wearing deer ears and a fur vest and Taran Killam in a muscle suit and bunny ears.
Yes, they have plenty of pun “kill lines” too.
