ASSSSCAT, the marquee show for the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatres across the country, is returning to do their signature long form improv show via a YouTube live-stream over four different shows this weekend for four separate worthy charities.

No matter where or when ASSSSCAT was happening, it was always sold out back when it happened in person. For this special charity, live-stream edition, you will have to get your chance to see UCB’s best without having worry about buying tickets weeks in advance or standing hours in a line. Also, it’s heartening to see ASSSSCAT is back after the closures of UCB Hell’s Kitchen and the NYC training center.

The teams, as you can see below, makes for a star studded affair. All of the founding UCB 4 (Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts) are slated to perform throughout the four shows in addition to Bobby Moynihan, Ego Nwodim, D’Arcy Carden, Lauren Lapkus, Carl Tart, Seth Morris, Andy Daly, Lennon Parham, Jessica St. Clair, Sean Conroy, Eugene Cordero, Anthony Atamanuik, Jon Gabrus, John Gemberling, and so much more.

The four shows happening on Fri. May 1st & Sat. May 2nd will be dedicated to raising funds for Frontline Responders Fund, Project C.U.R.E., NYC Mayor’s Fund: Food For Heroes, and LA COVID-19 Crisis Fund.

By the way, they’re all scheduled out so you’ll be able to watch them all. Tune in May 1st & May 2nd at both 5PM PT/8PM ET & 8PM PT/11PM ET on UCB’s YouTube channel here.

“Medical Police” at Netflix Will Be a Childrens Hospital Spiritual Sequel/Reunion/Etc.

“Medical Police” at Netflix Will Be a Childrens Hospital Spiritual Sequel/Reunion/Etc.

Rob Corddry, Jonathan Stern, David Wain, Erinn Hayes, Rob Huebel, Malin Akerman, Lake Bell, and Ken Marino once brought you the beautiful madness that was Childrens Hospital over at Adult Swim.

It looks like they’ll be up to their darkly comedic and absurdist shenanigans yet again with Netflix’s newly orderd series Medical Police, though, this time, it will be set at a children’s hospital in Brazil and include the threat of world ending virus. Also, they’ll be getting double the screen time with traditional 30 minute episodes.

So, for those holding your breath since Childrens Hospital went off the air in the hopes that it would live on somehow, you can stop (if you’re somehow still alive) because, we guess, it worked.

Looking forward to next year, this comedy benefit show for Ivannhoe Elementary and Public Education is one of the most stacked line-ups in Jan. 2018. They’ve got comedy power couples Tom Segura & Christina P. and Cameron Esposito & Rhea Butcher as well as the fantastic comedic stylings of Rob Corddry, Kyle Kinane, and Moshe Kasher AND hosts The Sklar Brothers.

Whether it be $50, $100, or $250, it’s worth the money (especially as it’s for a good cause). Get tickets here.

The President Show, Drunk History, and The Daily Show to Have Holiday Specials

More specifically…

Drunk History Christmas Special will air on Tuesday, November 28 at 10PM featuring Rob Corddry, Colin Hanks, Ken Marino and Chris Witaske.
I Came Up with Christmas: A President Show Christmas Hour-Long Holiday Special debuts Thursday, November 30 at 10PM.
The Daily Show’s The Yearly Show 2017 Hour-Long Year-End Special Hosted by Trevor Noah featuring The Best F#@king News Team premieres Monday, December 18 at 11PM.

Because one of Drunk History’s most beloved episodes focused on Christmas and The President Show handled Halloween pretty well (in addition to the whole show being one of the best comedic takes on Trump, end of discussion), we’re actually looking forward to these specials.

There’s a Daily Show with Jon Stewart Reunion on The Late Show Tonight

At the stroke of 11:35PM on tonight’s The Late Show, Stephen Colbert will reassemble the old Daily Show gang including Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Ed Helms, and Rob Corddry.

Like the poster above hints at, it really is an Avengers-esque reunion as each of those Daily Show correspondents have become legitimate stars on their own.

Since Comey got taken down today, odds are that they’ll have a nice, big camera pan off of all of them for some off-screen celebrating.

If you’ve been missing Childrens Hospital, you’ve got something to look forward to this week.

Brian Huskey, Jason Mantzoukas, Rob Corddry, Nick Kroll, Jon Daly, Steve Agee, and Jesse Falcon all teamed up to make a live action kid’s show that takes Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and makes it go on a really bad drug trip of sorts. Many of them last worked together on the award winning Adult Swim dark comedy Childrens Hospital making this project one you might want to check out.

Here’s a promo for Mr. Neighbor’s House. It premieres on Friday, December 2nd at midnight and goes for a full half hour as opposed to 15 minutes.

(via Variety)

If you’re really sad about Chlidrens Hospital ending, you can be a little less sad now.

Announced today, Adult Swim has just ordered a brand new comedy pilot from Rob Corddry that follows those aboard the infamous Hindenburg on its disastrous voyage back in 1937.

The pilot will be in Adult Swim’s 15 minute format and, we’re sure, really out there in the best way possible.

Hopefully, this’ll get picked up in some way, shape, or form, just so we can what Rob has concocted based off one of the most recognizable disasters of all time.

Rob Corddry Is Ending Childrens Hospital This Season; Wants To Pursue Other Projects

March 5, 2016

(via Uproxx)

Know that seven seasons is a hell of a run these days.

Rob Corddry has decided to end the uber-absurdist Childrens Hospital at Adult Swim after seven seasons and the distinction of being one of the few series at Adult Swim that have won at the Primetime Emmys.

In an Uproxx interview, Corddry explains that between doing the show and starring in Ballers on HBO and everything else he is involved in, he found less and less time for a growing amount of his own projects that he’d like to pursue. Fortunately, he also wants to continue working with the same folks, wants the end of Childrens Hospital to be an amicable one, and has plenty of pilots and scripts already in the works.

Support Jason Nash’s Next Film “FML: A Social Media Adventure”

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.

“The Late Late Show with James Corden” Sets More Guests

Uncategorized

The first few episodes of the new Late Late Show with James Corden will have Tom Hanks, Kevin Hart, and more

Following that, they’ve scheduled more guests to include Rob Corddry, Thomas Lennon, Tig Notaro, and more.

CBS announced an upcoming list of said guests this morning:

David Beckham, comedian Rob Corddry, Simon Cowell, Courteney Cox, Jon Cryer, Claire Danes, Michael Douglas, Jeff Goldblum, Mark Harmon, Thomas Lennon, Katharine McPhee, Megan Mullally, Matthew Perry, Freida Pinto, Tig Notaro, Gordon Ramsay and Kerry Washington.

Additional performances include George Ezra, Noel Gallagher, OK Go, Olly Murs, The Ting Tings and Jessie Ware.

That’s a good run of guests, but we are curious if Hanks will end up being like Bill Murray is to Letterman or Amy Poehler is to Seth Meyers as a first and frequent guest.

Rob Corddry Joins HBO Pilot ‘Ballers’

Rob Corddry is set to play a guy that has to deal with retired and active athletes as decidedly not an athlete in this HBO pilot.

Also, Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) is directing the pilot. So, this will definitely be something to watch for .
