The Other Two Season 3 Is Finally Coming Next Week

April 24, 2023
News

While it has only been two years since season 2 aired, Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider‘s The Other Two is so blisteringly funny that the void left by the finale of season 2 made two years seem like a decade (in addition to COVID-19 and every other hellish thing that’s happening right now). Some of the very best jokes and bits about Hollywood and celebrity are in just the two seasons of the series (and some of the reason that it might be one of awards season’s biggest snubs).

Season 3 of The Other Two is just around the corner on HBO Max (not quite officially Max yet), and we sincerely hope that folks get to see what all the die-hard Other Two fans have been talking about since 2019. Get a taste of that yourself with the first look at season 3 here, then set a reminder for Thurs. May 3rd for the latest season premiere of The Other Two.

 

Party Down’s Season 3 Trailer Is Here

January 26, 2023

adam scott, ken marino, party down, season 3, starz, trailer

One of the most beloved cult comedies of all time, Party Down, is, after all these years, actually coming back. On Feb. 24th, Adam Scott will have to deal with folks annoyingly saying “ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?” while managing the misguided anxiety of Ken Marino and Party Down Catering. Also, the likes of Jennifer Garner, Tyrel Jackson Williams, Zoë Chao, and James Marsden will be in the mix for this long awaited season (in addition to a great cavalcade of cameos).

Hopefully, the existence of this trailer means that is indeed true and it won’t get un-renewed or something like other shows these days.

Season 3 of Party Down premieres on Starz on Fri. Feb. 24th.

Oh, you can catch up/rewatch the other two seasons of Party Down on Hulu right now.

A Revival of Party Down Is In The Works at Starz

Henry’s torturous catch phrase “Are we having fun yet?” has been a sentiment that has been ringing in our head as capturing the spirit of remaining in lockdown because of the pandemic.

So, the idea of Party Down potentially returning is very much good news to us and, as far as revivals/reboots go via nostalgia bait, we’re fine with this one. If you haven’t watched Party Down yet, please stop singing the praises of Ted Lasso and go watch all of Party Down right now. There are only two seasons (and there indeed should have been more), so it ought to be a very satisfying binge.

Thus far, the original producing team of Rob Thomas, John Enbom, Paul Rudd and Dan Etheridge are committed to developing this possible revival at Starz and they’ve indicated that a good portion of the cast is likely to return (Adam Scott seems to be on board).

Perhaps, if this returns, we’ll have a better answer for the question, “Are we having fun yet?”

A reunion of one of the most foundational sketch troupes and absurdist comedy of all time, The State, is a rarity. Leave it to a time like now where supporting organizations like the NAACP and the California Immigrant Resilience Fund is more important than ever for The State to reconvene to do a live reading of their favorite sketches, visit unreleased material, do a Q&A as well as an exclusive memorabilia auction.

Slated to appear will be almost all of The State including Kevin Allison, Michael Ian Black, Todd Holoubek, Michael Patrick Jann, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Thomas Lennon, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Michael Showalter, and David Wain.

All of this will be taking place on Zoom this Wed. Jun. 10th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. You can and should get your tickets here.

Disney XD is sure stacking its cast here for adults. 

Over a year ago, Disney XD announced a new series amidst a slough of exciting slate of animated series actually designed for all ages including Craig McCracken’s Wander Over Yonder that will star Jack McBrayer.

Wander Over Yonder, now in its second season, has some more excitement built up around it as their guest stars will include the likes of Jon Hamm, Weird Al Yankovic, June Squibb, Andy Daly, Rob Riggle, and Ken Marino.

Along with other shows like Future-Worm!, Phineas and Ferb, the network has built a pretty solid animated line-up that can hold up with adults.

We really enjoyed Jason Nash’s “Jason Nash Is Married” last year and thus we think Nash’s latest film FML: A Social Media Adventure could use your help.

Interestingly enough, Nash’s last film featured him doing a podcast as that was what he was doing at the time when he was putting the film together. 

Nowadays, Jason has become quite the star on Vine with over 1.5 million followers. As such, he’s making this film with Vine stars as a buddy road comedy with two guys, him as one and Brandon Calvillo as the other, from much different generations trying to up their social media presence.

The likes of TJ Miller, Patton Oswalt, Rob Corddry, Busy Philipps, Ken Marino, Andy Daly, and Paul Scheer will be in FML as well as Vine stars Cavillo, Brittany Furlan, and Sunny Mabrey. 

They’re looking to raise $200K and are at $22,663 with less than three weeks to go. If you want to help and donate, do so here ASAP.

Not only is Wet Hot American Summer now set to come back to your life, it’s going to come back as a series at Netflix with nearly everyone you came to love in the original Wet Hot American Summer. 

David Wain and MIchael Showalter are back behind the scenes for an 8 episode run with Amy Poehler, Ken Marino, Paul Rudd, Janeane Garofalo, Bradley Cooper, and more.

So, whoever had a Wet Hot American Summer closet shrine that was constantly praying for a sequel of some kind, it worked and we thank you for that.

So, Last Call With Carson Daly Has Been Profiling Comedy Folks For Awhile Now

When it comes to various comedy folks being featured on late night, the likes of Conan, Letterman, Ferguson, Fallon, Kimmel, and more are all usually mentioned. Last Call with Carson Daly is usually not brought up because, frankly, it was, for awhile, hard to find user-friendly clips to watch that were updated frequently after they aired on TV.

Well, it turns out that is the case no longer as many of the great profiles/clips/interviews on Last Call are now on Hulu. Megan Amram, Jason Mantzoukas, Ken Marino, and Who Charted? with Howard Kremer and Kulap Vilaysack are just a few of the people that they’ve interviewed at various nicely decorated places in LA.

This year alone, they’ve also done nice profiles of:
Jim Jefferies
Sara Schaefer
Annie Lederman
Jerrod Carmichael
Fahim Anwar
Ted Melfi
Wyatt Cenac
Jason Schwartzman and Alex Ross Perry
Tone Bell

While insomnia is mostly a bad thing, one positive might be the fact that you’ll be awake at 4AM to catch Adult Swim’s amazing infomercials. 

Just check out this one for the Salad Mixxxer where Kurt Braunohler is selling something that might be NSFW depending on how gullible your boss is.

In addition to the top billed cast Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, and Kristen Wiig, Ken Marino, Kate McKinnon, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Leslie Jones, Devin Ratray, and Ross Kimball are now in on the Jared Hess directed heist comedy.

That’s one hell of a cast and we wonder if we’ll get to see all of them in the trailer when that comes out.

Marry Me with Casey Wilson and Ken Marino Premieres in October on NBC

Of the new crop of sitcoms coming this fall, one of the most promising ones seems to be David Caspe’s Marry Me starring Casey Wilson and Ken Marino.

While it’s a romantic comedy like so many of the others, it’s concept new and that cast, as you might have already surmised, is pretty damn good. Look out for the series premiere of Marry Me on Tues. Oct 14th at 9PM on NBC.

Ken Marino and Erica Oyama Sell ‘Me Time’ to Universal

Ken Marino and Erica Oyama from Burning Love are at it again as they have sold their latest feature project Me Time to Universal. It’s loosely “described as a female road comedy in the same vein as Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”.

Let’s hope this gets fast tracked, made, and released in theaters before too long.

Ken Marino to Star Opposite Casey Wilson in NBC Pilot ‘Marry Me’

Casey Wilson is not only re-teaming with David Caspe from Happy Endings for their NBC pilot Marry Me, but now, Ken Marino will star opposite her.

There are no details if he’s going to play more of the husband role that he’s played in Wanderlust or Burning Love, but we’re sure Marino is going to be great whether playing awful or great fiancé.

Legendary sketch group, The State, is re releasing their book State by State with The State: An Uninformed, Poorly Researched Guide to Traveling the United States as an e-book Nov. 5th, which is on pre-order right now. You can still buy a physical copy, which begs the question about why is it a big deal about releasing as a e-book? 

Well, making this promo with all the members of The State is a good enough reason as far as we’re concerned.

Fox has continued their interest (they’re writing a feature for Fox too) with the writing team of Ken Marino and Erica Oyama (the minds behind Burning Love) by buying a series from them & producer Will Gluck.

None of you will probably doubt us, but one of comedy’s biggest power couples has to now be Marino and Oyama.

Ken Marino Joins Eastbound & Down For Final Season

Though we know that he wasn’t a regular cast member on Eastbound & Down, we, for a brief second, were really surprised that Ken Marino wasn’t already on the show just based off of recent performances in Burning Love and Wanderlust.

Either way, with news like this, we’re looking forward to the show closing out strong.

Lake Bell (Children’s Hospital) has made a seemingly delightful film on the world of doing voiceover and narration, especially focused on voice over for movie trailers. Such a world can be pretty funny and great when the likes of Tig Notaro, Ken Marino, Demetri Martin, Nick Offerman, and Fred Melamed in what might be one hell of a supporting role as a father.
