Comedy Scores Big at 2018 Spirit Awards + John Mulaney and Nick Kroll’s Opening Monologue
March 4, 2018
Uncategorized
film independent, ifc, john mulaney, nick kroll, spirit awards

While Get Out took top honors of Best Feature and Best Director at this year’s Spirit Awards, seemingly every other award went towards comedy as you can see below:

BEST FEMALE LEAD – Frances McDormand, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
BEST SUPPORTING FEMALE – Allison Janney, I, Tonya
BEST SUPPORTING MALE – Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
BEST SCREENPLAY – Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird
BEST EDITING – Tatiana S. Riegel, I, Tonya
BEST FIRST FEATURE – Ingrid Goes West (Director: Matt Spicer, Producers: Jared Ian Goldman, Adam Mirels, Robert Mirels, Aubrey Plaza, Tim White, Trevor White)
BEST FIRST SCREENPLAY – Emily V. Gordon, Kumail Nanjiani, The Big Sick

Hopefully, that’s a good omen for the Oscar results later tonight. 

Get the full list of 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards Winners here.

Also, John Mulaney and Nick Kroll served up another sharp awards show monologue that was fun and loose, but also game to go a little dark or blue. Watch it here.

One last thing to notice: We’re pretty sure Timothy Chalemet had Armie Hammer who was on a beard shirtless on Facetime (as Hammer was not present at the ceremony). It definitely sweetened the Call Me By Your Name chunk of the monologue.

Nick Kroll and John Mulaney Will Return as to Host 2018 Spirit Awards

When 2020 (hopefully) rolls around, we’ll have a non-psycho President elected and Kroll and Mulaney will be seen as one of the best comedy duos of the last decade. 

We’ll be excited to see what they have up their sleeve. The 2018 Spirit Awards are set to air on Saturday, Mar. 3rd at 5PM PST on IFC.

As they’ve already hinted at, Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg’s animated comedy Big Mouth, Netflix’s latest animated series geared towards adults, will revel in the surprising highs and the gross lows of puberty. In fact, there’s a bit of magical realism woven through that might just set this series apart from other coming-of-age animated series.

See for yourself in the full trailer here.

Big Mouth starts streaming on Netflix on Friday, September 29th.

It would seem that Bill Burr’s F Is For Family paved the way for animated comedies dealing with childhood, but aren’t necessarily “family friendly”. 

From Nick Kroll:

It’s about the beautiful nightmare that is puberty and adolescence. The show is based on me and my childhood best friend Andrew Goldberg’s real lives in middle school. It premieres on @netflix September 29th. I cannot wait for people to see it! Cast includes: me, @johnmulaney @jennyslate #jessiklein #jasonmantzoukas @sordociego (Fred Armisen) #mayarudolph @jordanpeele and many more amazingly talented folks.

Watch these teasers and you’ll see exactly what Kroll is saying.

Big Mouth starts streaming on Netflix on Friday, September 29th.

Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland’s/Nick Kroll and John Mulaney’s full-length stage show, Oh, Hello on Broadway might just be the unapologetically silly, satirical love letter to Broadway that you need right now. 

Every convention of Broadway and theater gets delightfully picked apart by the duo for well over an hour in every way imaginable. Even if you don’t know all the NYC or Broadway references, there’s something undeniably magnetic about the fully realized personas of Faizon and St. Geegland and their endless self-aware tomfoolery. 

Also, Steve Martin is their guest for this night that was taped as a special. 

Sounds pretty swell, huh? Well, go watch it on Netflix as soon as you can then.

Nick Kroll and John Mulaney have taken their characters, Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland, to a proverbial mountaintop. From sketches to the hallowed streets of NYC’s Broadway, Faizon and St. Geegland have slyly goofed their way to the brightest spotlight.

Now, for all of us who can’t get tickets to anything on Broadway, we’ll get to see just how much they went overboard with the tuna in their Netflix special, “Oh, Hello Broadway”.

Here’s the trailer to whet your appetite.

Look for the special to start streaming next Tuesday, June 13th on Netflix.

Like with so many things that they deconstruct with goofy abandon, John Mulaney and Nick Kroll dove into their opening monologue for last night’s Spirit Awards with the same freewheeling, devil-may-care spirit. 

You’ll notice that they pick apart the idea of an awards show monologue, trope by trope, while effortlessly going through actual jokes and then closing with a particularly spectacular finish. 

Watch it all here.

Here’s the best glimpse, thus far, to see what Oh, Hello on Broadway is like if you’re unable to snag some tickets.

Geroge St. Geegland/John Mulaney and Gil Faizon/Nick Kroll always have a different guest every night on their live Oh, Hello show on Broadway. Their guests have been all sorts of a-listers and celebrated New Yorkers. 

Recently, they just had one of their best guests yet with legendary actor Alan Alda, who seems to fit in with St. Geegland and Faizon’s geriatric antics.

See for yourself here.

John Mulaney and Stephen Colbert and Talk Growing Up Catholic

One of the more intriguing layers of Stephen Colbert is him maintaining his Catholicism while being the clever, subversive comedian that he is. 

Naturally, John Mulaney growing up Catholic, a thing that Mulaney has plenty of material on, is ripe common ground for a late night chat between John and Stephen. 

Watch the conversation here.  Also, enjoy how Mulaney sneaks in one last little morsel for an applause break at the end of the interview. 

It’s like he has a fun freewheeling show currently on Broadway or something like that.

Nick Kroll and John Mulaney as Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland took a break from their Oh, Hello run on Broadway and had to make a trip uptown to Harlem to see Conan O’Brien during his visit to NYC.

Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland Take Over Late Night with Seth Meyers and Do Their Own Show ‘Too Much Tuna’

Nick Kroll and John Mulaney Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland got their latest late night appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. With not only a late night talk show at their disposal, but a theatre in our nation’s capitol as well, Gil and George opted to do one more round of their beloved prank/chat show Too Much Tuna. 

Basically, they hijacked Meyers show and had Meyers as a guest and had the sort of fun that they do at their Oh, Hello show.

Also, they explained, in the actual televised interview where they were the guests, how their show pays “hompage” to Broadway.

We’re guessing that Mulaney and Kroll could do these characters on Broadway for as long as they desire.

Jon Hamm and John Slattery Listed as Understudies for Nick Kroll and John Mulaney’s “Oh, Hello”

It looks like Kroll and Mulaney made sure to make every single square inch of their Broadway run funny. 

In the programs for Oh, Hello on Broadway, both John Slattery and Jon Hamm are actually listed in the programs as the understudies for Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland played by Nick Kroll and John Mulaney respectively. Leave it to Kroll and Mulaney to find some “suitable” understudies.

Slattery and Hamm have yet to really step in for a night of Oh, Hello. Also, it’s hard to imagine anyone inhabiting the roles of Gil and George, but imagining Slattery and Hamm doing Too Much Tuna is pretty adorable.

The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival returns as one of the biggest comedy touring festivals ever. 

It’s interesting that they went with the bold red font for top billed acts and listed the line-up alphabetically instead of doing the traditional top-to-bottom-big-name-to-up-and-coming. It’s one way to be an oddball we suppose.

You can get your tickets here.
