TCB Debriefing 1/4/24: After Midnight, Hacks, Eric Andre, Lisa Frankenstein, Funny Woman, Roy Wood Jr., Emmys, Mean Girls, Don’t Tell Comedy
1. Taylor Tomlinson officially announces the premiere date of @fter Midnight, following The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, beginning Mon. Jan. 16th with a touch of murder(?).
2. Hacks. Spring. Be ready.
3. Eric Andre’s latest special, ERIC ANDRÉ LIVE NEAR BROADWAY, is going where he’s most at home, Adult Swim, come Jan. 18th at midnight. With this being at Adult Swim and Eric seemingly having carte blanche there, we hope this will somewhat resemble his legendary b day parties.

4. The latest trailer for Lisa Frankenstein further suggests that Diablo Cody has still got it. Please enjoy, then look for it in theaters near you starting Feb. 9th.
5. PBS is essentially doing their own British version of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel called Funny Woman starring Gemma Arterton that’s not actually based on a real person. Take your first look here.
6. While Comedy Central is still figuring out what the hell they want to do with The Daily Show, go out and see Roy Wood Jr. be so damn funny all across the country. Tickets available at roywoodjr.com/tour-roy-wood-jr.
7. The Primetime Emmys reinstated Writing for a Variety Series as a category, making it so certain shows won’t have to compete against the TV institution that is SNL (Variety).
8. Maybe, just maybe, this musical version of Mean Girls will be worth it? Just see for yourself in this final trailer. At the very least, if you didn’t know the name Reneé Rapp, you will going forward from 2024.
9. We’ll leave you with this: Peep these numbers put up by Don’t Tell Comedy in 2023 alone. Damn.
