Pick of Day: In Stitches-Hydrocephalus Association Benefit 11/19

November 18, 2020

One of the biggest benefit shows this week is dedicated to raising money in the fight for the deadly condition known as Hydrocephalus via the Hydrocephalus Association. The condition is caused by build-up of fluid in the brain and can currently only treated by brain surgery.

Annually, the Hydrocephalus Association puts on a big benefit show, In Stitches, and they’ve really outdone themselves this year with this 2020 virtual edition. For comedy, Whitney Cummings, Kurt Braunohler, Chris Estrada, Jamie Lee, Dan Levy and Esther Povitsky are on the bill, but there will also be a special musical performance from Natasha Bedingfield as well as some cameos from Debbie Allen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Max Greenfield, Neil Patrick Harris, Rachael Harris, Nigel Lythgoe, Wayne Brady, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Meghan Trainor.

That’s bordering on a mini-festival line-up and should make for a pretty swell Thursday evening this week.

In Stitches is virtually set for Thurs. Nov. 19th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets for the live-stream start at $50. There will also be a silent auction and a virtual red carpet starting at 5:30PM PT/8:30PM ET.

Mark Hamill, Neil Patrick Harris, Jack Black, Bill Hader, Joel McHale, and Jerry Seinfeld Might Guest Star in New MST3K

The likeliness that this will happen beyond MST3K creator Joel Hodgson getting interest from the names above probably will be greater if you donate in the final 30 hours of their Kickstarter campaign.

On top of the amazing cast and guest writers that Hodgson has announced, Joel has played what will is, we’re guessing, his final card before the Kickstarter campaign to revive Mystery Science Theater 3000 finishes.

Indeed, Jack Black, Mark Hamill, Neil Patrick Harris, Bill Hader, Joel McHale, and Jerry Seinfeld have expressed interest and Joel has even called out to the likes of Amy Poehler, Amy Schumer, Lily Tomlin, and Tina Fey to come on the show if they’d like.

We’ll all have a better picture of what the status of the guest star list will be for MST3K when the Kickstarter ends. By the way, they have reached their 9 episode goal and are shooting for their final stretch goal of $5.5 million. As of this post, they’re at $4,524,412 with less than a day and half to go.

Help them reach 12 full episodes here.

Disney Pixar’s latest original, non-sequel film, The Good Dinosaur, is coming almost a year to the day from now (more precisely a year and 5 days on Nov. 25th, 2015). 

The voices of Neil Patrick Harris, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Frances McDormand, and more will all play out the story of a dinosaur befriending a human. It undoubtedly will, like most of the Disney Pixar canon, make us all laugh and tug at our heart strings.

Just check out the first image of Arlo the Apatosaurus (i.e. “The Good Dinosaur”) above and try to be cold and heartless.

(via Deadline)

NBC might be just getting a shot in the arm in the department of live variety shows as they have just ordered 10 episodes of a Neil Patrick Harris hosted variety show.

The show stopper of a host can really do it all, sing, dance, act, do comedy, which will all be on display when he hosts The Oscars next year.

We’ll be curious to what time slot it gets, specifically in relation to that other live variety show on NBC, Saturday Night Live.

It’s about time that one of the best awards show hosts in the business, Neil Patrick Harris, gets a crack at The Oscars.

Not only is it a perfect choice with all his ability to sing, dance, be funny, and poised, that might leave all those live-tweeting wanting to not be snarky, but, apparently, it’s been on his bucket list for quite some time now.
