It Seems That Paul F. Tompkins Will Be Doing a Panel Discussion Show with Puppets

This tweet at the link above and this picture seem to be evidence that Paul F. Tompkins will be appearing on the brand new Fusion network (that you can from your TV service provider starting tomorrow) doing a sort of panel discussion show with puppets called “No, You Shut Up" developed by former Daily Show writer David Javerbaum.

It’s premiering this Monday Oct. 28th at 9:30PM and we guess that will be what you will be watching because this sounds pretty fantastic even with how little details we have on it (like we don’t even know if Paul is the host, featured, or just appearing on the premiere episode).

Paul F. Tompkins’ Speakeasy Returning Next Week

Paul F. Tompkins’ Speakeasy Returning Next Week

Easily the classiest one on one interview show around, Speakeasy with Paul F. Tompkins, returns next week with more classy blazers, mixed drinks, and that classic tomfoolery Tompkins always brings.

In the meantime, catch up on the rest of the episodes of Speakeasy here.

Eban Schletter Launches Fantastical Musicorium Podcast

Eban Schletter Launches Fantastical Musicorium Podcast

The comedic musical talents of Eban Schletter have finally found their way to a podcast as Schletter has just launched a podcast “Fantastical Musicorium” featuring original music by him that are, new, deep cuts, and everything in between.

Given that Eban is Paul F. Tompkins piano player on many occasions, there’s a good chance, we’d say, of great music coupled with some brilliant silliness to come through, so give Fantastical Musicorium a listen.

Boardwalk Empire as Done by Superego and the Tompkinses

September 2, 2013

Funny or Die enlisted the comedic genius of Superego and both Paul F. Tompkins and Janie Haddad Tompkins to parody Boardwalk Empire and, we’ve got to say, we’ve never seen an episode (or know any of the references like we do for Game of Thrones because all of you can’t stop talking about it) and it’s pretty amazing.

Give it a watch here.

Thanks goodness that time is right about now (or whenever you click the link).

Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation, Coffee Town) stops by and chats over classy drinks with Paul F. Tompkins on Tompkins’ Speakeasy web series and enlightens us all to how important living life is for comedy and the experience of free lance writing jokes for Letterman.

Paul F. Tompkins and Bob Odenkirk Have a Drink and a Chat

bob odenkirk, breaking bad, mr. show, paul f tompkins

Two of our favorites in comedy, Paul F. Tompkins and Bob Odenkirk, have a drink and nice, long intimate conversation on Tompkins’ Speakeasy web series.

Of course, they revisit Mr. Show, unpublished screenplays, and more fun tangential tomfoolery, so get ready to spend your lunch break watching this.

What to Say Next Mother’s Day According to Buster Bluth

The games that Paul F. Tompkins plays with his guests on his candid interview show, Speakeasy, are just delightful. Case in point, letting Tony Hale as Buster Bluth finish off the beginnings of Mother’s Day sentiments.

These are hilarious, if not, as Tony says, “creepy”.

Alison Brie’s Turns Out to Be Pretty Talented in Doing Meme Impressions

alison brie, memes, paul f tompkins

While on Paul F. Tompkins’ classy fun of a show Speakeasy, Alison Brie does impressions of the Internet’s most popular memes and is pretty damn good at it. It will surprise us at all if this becomes a meme and no one writes in a college course about Postmodernism uses this is an example.

Also, Alison almost injures herself for this fun bit and your subsequent enjoyment. So, watch all the silliness here already.

Nick Kroll Talks About Both Kroll Show and Cavemen on Speakeasy with Paul F. Tompkins

Creator and star of Comedy Central sketch shows, Kroll Show, Nick Kroll gives a fascinating in-depth tour of his comedy career on the small screen. Chatting with the one and only Paul F. Tompkins, Kroll talks going from his first big TV series, the very short lived Cavemen to his current successful sketch TV show, which just got renewed for it’s second season.

Morning Debriefing 9/15/11

1) The Sklar Brothers on Conan. Please buy “Hendersons & Daughters” not because it’s #1 on iTunes, but because it’s damn hilarious.

2) Here’s an explanation on how to get listed on Witstream. It’s odd how close this is to getting passed a comedy club.

3) Kumail Nanjiani “teaches” a little girl how to play Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

4) Paul F. Tompkins’ Dead Authors is going to be a podcast!!! (and this twitpic is proof enough, right?)

Season 2 of the Tompkast is almost ready. But arriving this Tuesday:

5) The Laughter Against the Machine Tour starts off their tour by missing their plane while waiting at the actual departure gate. Oddly enough, we also kept forgetting to post this…

6) “If there were a late-night comedy show completely run by comedy writers, without any interference from a host, producer, or network, that show would probably be called The Darkest and Most Impossibly Horrible Things You Can Imagine, Presented as Comedy. Every sketch would end with a gunshot or an infant’s stroller engulfed in flames, and the show would be canceled halfway through its opening titles. That’s because most comedy writers are so inured by humor that only the most shockingly toxic ideas can achieve the proper velocity to penetrate their indifference.”

-Todd Levin, staff writer on Conan, in Good Magazine

Oh, if only the key dems that networks and studios go for just upped their sophistication in humor so such a scenario could happen.

7) Soon, there will be a term “Whitney apologist”…

8) Will Ferrell will be the next recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. One can’t help but ponder Twain’s thoughts on “the Landlord” and its reflection on the American renter.
