All that wishing and hoping is working apparently.
In addition to a night in San Diego and dates in Boston, Nick Kroll and John Mulaney are taking Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland’s Oh, Hello to Washington D.C. San Francisco, and Chicago for a few nights.
Specific dates and tickets available here.
For those on the West Coast, you know what you need to do next Thursday.
With BoJack Horseman and a multitude of web series that have talking animals, it would seem anthropomorphized animated series are becoming their own sub genre.
That being said, there’s still room for more such shows as you can see with this teaser of The Duplass Brothers’ Animals.
Not only are NYC animals talking like regular New Yorkers a clever concept, but having the voice talents of Nick Kroll Matt Walsh, Steve Zissis, Adam Scott, Colbie Smulders, Marc Maron, Zach Woods, Jessica Chastain, Horatio Sanz, Kumail Nanjiani, Katie Aselton, Wanda Sykes, Paul Scheer, Rob Corddry, and Molly Shannon definitely pushes it to the next level.
Look for the premiere of Animals on Friday Feb. 5th at 11:30PM on HBO.
Odds are that this is the closest you’ll get to seeing Oh, Hello for awhile.
Just as an off-Broadway show, Oh, Hello, with John Mulaney and Nick Kroll as the two mischievous geriatric New Yorkers, has done quite well in its run selling out both at The Cherry Lane Theatre and doing the same at Boston’s Wilbur Theatre.
With all their success, Mulaney and—, St. Geegland and Faizon we should say, taped an entire press conference, which is probably as good as any teaser we could have gotten for the show.
You can catch a solid 5 minutes and change of it here and then watch the whole thing streamed live at MNN on Tues. Dec. 29th 5PM PST and Wed. Dec. 30th at 7PM PST.
John Mulaney and Nick Kroll are keeping some of The Kroll Show’s most enduring characters, George St. Geegland and Gil Faizon, going, which is really a pretty great gift to us all.
Not only do they have an acclaimed off-Broadway show “Oh Hello” running at The Cherry Lane Theatre, but they made probably one of the most memorable late night appearances this year.
Fully in costume and character, St. Geegland and Faizon chatted with Seth Meyers on Late Night and Meyers could barely keep a straight face through the whole conversation.
For those of us unable to see Oh, Hello, for now, this is the next best thing.
Without fail, SF Sketchfest’s cup runneth over with many of comedy’s best and brightest for nearly a month.

Yes, there’s more that’s coming round the bay than what you see above. If you’re already sold on going (and we struggle to think why you wouldn’t be), tickets go on sale this Sun. at 10AM PST here.
The stars of Too Much Tuna (a show within The Kroll Show universe, Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland/Nick Kroll and John Mulaney are bringing their senior citizen, millennial informed antics to off-Broadway with Oh, Hello Live! on (off )Broadway.
They’ll be following the likes of Colin Quinn and The Daily Show’s Hasan Minhaj at the ever-popular-with-comedians off Broadway Cherry Lane Theatre with their run of Oh, Hello going Dec. 1st-20th.
As Oh, Hello is sold out constantly here in LA, get your tickets while you still can here.
Looks like The Awesomes have a cross-online streaming service rival.
Bryan Cranston has a lot of irons on the fire post-Breaking Bad and finally one of them has been taken out and hammered it into what seems to be a fun sort of spin-off from Robot Chicken (Stoopid Buddy Studios, the folks behind Robot Chicken, produce this show) for Crackle, SuperMansion.
It follows old superheroes trying to stay relevant and feel meaningful in the world of today, though much more edgy and adult than The Incredibles seemingly a little more than Hulu’s similar series, The Awesomes.
It also boasts a star studded voice cast with Seth Green, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, Jillian Bell, Chris Pine, Ron Perlman, Famke Janssen, Donald Faison, Breckin Meyer, Anton Yelchin, and Nick Kroll.
Watch the trailer, which just made its premiere at Comic-Con, here, then look for its premiere this Fall on Crackle.

Props to HBO for decisiveness.
Both The Duplass Brothers and HBO are expanding their comedic scope by going two seasons in on an animated comedy series created by Phil Matarese and Mike Luciano. Apparently, it’s good enough to warrant the entire first season being picked up by HBO as well as the order for a second one all in one feel swoop.
As Animals follows NYC based animals and is targeted at adults, we’re curious how many animal jokes they’ll be firing off as compared to BoJack Horseman.
Nick Kroll, Katie Aselton, and Mark Duplass are all set to voice various animals.
We hope this is a hit not only to have a good show, but to encourage networks to give bigger season orders to new shows or have faith in new shows at all.
Oh, goodbye #KrollShow. #KrollShowFinale #GoodbyeKrollWorld #tonight pic.twitter.com/nRpnx6nsr4
After three seasons, Kroll Show is wrapping itself up for good on Comedy Central. It’s going to take awhile to say goodbye to each of Kroll’s characters in the special, individualized way that they would want, but it’s probably worth it.
The series finale of Kroll Show is at 10:30PM tonight on Comedy Central.
You’ve enjoyed Nick Kroll in many a different costume on Kroll Show, but now you get to see him probably as grounded as he’ll get as someone who loses everything almost instantly in Adult Beginners.
The Duplass Brothers produced this movie from a story written by Kroll himself, which boasts a cast of of Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, and Joel McHale. So, that along with a bit of Skeleton Twins vibe has got our attention.
You can watch the trailer here and look for Adult Beginners in theaters and VOD on Apr. 24th.
March is just around the corner, which means The Late Late Show with James Corden is almost set to premiere. In the meantime, the interim period of The Late Late Show is still in effect and, this week, they have very intriguing guests hosts in Thomas Lennon, Lauren Graham and Will Arnett.
Lennon is scheduled for Mon-Wed., Graham on Thurs., and Arnett for Fri.
In addition to their hijinks, Weird Al Yankovic, Natasha Leggero, Nick Kroll, Matthew Perry, Tom Papa, Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and David Cross are all set to be guests this week too.
Take note that Lennon has voiced Craig Ferguson’s robot skeleton sidekick Geoffrey Peterson at The Late Late Show from time to time and perhaps he’ll do it again.
Find out what happens (two weeks ago, they had the Super Bowl Sharks on) by tuning in to CBS at 12:35AM all week long.
Tonight’s TV airwaves belongs to what very well could be a comedy power couple/stars of Parks and Recreation and Kroll Show, Amy Poehler and Nick Kroll.
Parks and Recreation returns for its seventh and final season tonight on NBC at 8PM with back-to-back episodes.
Kroll Show is also premiering its final season, though it’s only the third for Kroll, on Comedy Cetnral at 10:30PM.
Make plans to watch/DVR/hijack the TV at the bar you’re drinking at accordingly.
In what seems to be a whole other dimension, there was a time and place where sailor tattoo inspired clothing was all the rage and Ed Hardy was at the center of it all.
Also, at that very same time, Nick Kroll was making fun of the whole Ed Hardy brand with Jon Daly as The Ed Hardy Boyz.
Christian Audigier, the proprietor of Ed Hardy, was really into the videos, or so Kroll thought. Watch the whole story of what happened here.
Yesterday, Nick Kroll announced that season 3 of Kroll Show would its final one as he found that he is closing the books of many of the characters on the show.
Today, the trailer for the final season, which premieres on Jan. 13th on Comedy Central, went up and you can kind of get a sense of what Kroll is talking about especially when Mulaney and Kroll have to deal with Henry Rollins on Too Much Tuna.
Rather than redefining the entire DNA of the series in order to keep the show going, Nick Kroll is making the upcoming third season of Kroll Show the final one. Kroll explained in detail to Vulture why he’s ending the show rather than, like most shows in the U.S., to go for six seasons or more.
You can also watch Kroll’s Show’s Liz G. comment “solemnly” on the matter.
Season 3 premieres around Jan. 13th on Comedy Central, but you can get a sneak peek tonight at 10:30PM.

New Line’s revival of the “Vacation” franchise already boasts a cast starring Ed Helms and Leslie Mann along with Christina Applegate, Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Day, Keegan Michael-Key, and Regina Hall.
Now, the revitalized Griswold family will have the likes of Tim Heidecker, Nick Kroll, Kaitlin Olson, and Michael Pena joining in the fun as well.
We’re sure this will make for one long, hell of a good trailer whenever that comes out sometime next year.
Last night on The Tonight Show, Nick Kroll not only premiered a new character for when Kroll Show returns for its 3rd season on Comedy Central, he mentioned off hand that the show will be coming back January, only a few months from now.
We have no doubt that there will be preview clips, teasers, and a more specific date released before that time, but, for now, enjoy Kroll’s new character Señor Feature.

After premiering at TIFF, Adult Beginners with Nick Kroll, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Joel McHale, Bobby Moynihan, Mike Birbiglia, Jane Krakowski, and Josh Charles got bought up by Radius for a release next year.
There’s no date set yet, but, hopefully, next spring, we’ll get to see Kroll as self-involved entrepreneur who has to deal with losing it all as well as the rest of the fantastic cast be party of the small childhood town he has return to.
Comedy Central’s ‘Kroll Show’ Renewed For Third Season
First off, congratulations to Nick Kroll on getting a third season at Comedy Central for Kroll Show.
So, this means Wheels Ontario will be back for another season as well.
The fake reality show (isn’t that redundant?) Making Friends from Kroll Show seems more true to life and more entertaining than any other competitive reality show that forces people to live together.
Also, Pete Holmes hosts/pleads contestants to make friends. Watch and enjoy here.
Season 2 Premiere of Kroll Show Tonight
10:30PM Comedy Central tonight will be the premiere of season 2 of Kroll Show.
Read this several more times so you’ll have muscle memory kick in and you won’t forget to watch.
Well, it’s least a real look into the life of someone who is struggling to prepare for parenthood and more a reality show, but still, Kroll Show’s Dad Academy is pretty funny so long as it just stays a sketch and doesn’t become a real show on TLC.
Watch ‘Welcome to Dad Academy’ here.
It’s a little more than a taste because there’s so much that’s coming as evidenced by the trailer, but it’s still not the whole pie of season 2 of Kroll Show. You’re just going to have to make due with the 2 minutes you can see here.
Watch it and then get ready for Kroll Show’s return to Comedy Central on Tues. Jan. 14th.
