We were thinking the guest star cast would be this good.

Sarah Silverman, Adam Pally, Mira Sorvino, Jenny Slate, Tig Notaro, Patton Oswalt, June Diane Raphael, Jon Cryer, and Brandon Routh will all guest star in the Maria Bamford series Lady Dynamite coming to Netflix next year.

While that’s all great to hear, we are curious to know if Maria will be playing her mom like she has done now and again.

Last night’s Night of Too Many Stars on Comedy Central was one wild, raucous, probably NSFW ride all in support of autism programs.

Such things as Louis C.K. taking an auction winner to take a bow at a Broadway play they weren’t in and Sarah Silverman confronting other auction winners like she would confront her parents all really happened.

Though the special is over, you can still support the charity via donation here or through entering into contests to win tickets to the last taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, tickets to The Roast of Justin Beiber, having a Vine video directed by Judd Apatow, be drawn into The Simpsons, or have a White Castle slider named after you.

If you were honest with yourself, you’d probably just pay and enter these contests without supporting any charity, so get on donating/entering now.

This week of The Late Late Show’s interim period between Craig Ferguson and James Corden is definitely one worth checking out.

The one and only Jim Gaffigan is filling in as host for most of this week. That fact alone should make you clear out 12:35AM to watch.

On top of that, Michael Ian Black, Sarah Silverman, Kumail Nanjiani, Dave Koechner, Justin Willman, Lena Dunham, Maria Bamford, Garry Shandling, and more are all going to be guests that sit down with Gaffigan.

So, make a reminder for 12:35AM at CBS and let’s see if Jim has The Gaffigan Five worked into the show at all.

Over 6 years ago, Largo was not the gorgeous theatre that you see at The Coronet these days. It was an even smaller venue with a bar in Fairfax Village here in LA.

However, even back then, a mix of some of the best comedians and innovative musicians and singers all came together under the roof of Largo to play.

In 2008, a concert film was released of the old Largo with the likes of Fred Armisen, Fiona Apple, Greg Behrendt, Paul F. Tompkins, Elliott Smith, Sarah Silverman, Greg Proops, Sarah Silverman, Flight of the Conchords, Patton Oswalt, Louis CK, Zach Galifianakis, Aimee Mann, Andrew Bird, and more all performing.

Now, it’s online for you to enjoy on Vimeo in beautiful black and white. Watch LARGO here.

Sarah Silverman Starring in Upcoming HBO Comedy Pilot

(via Deadline)

With dramedy Togetherness already set to premiere next month, HBO is delving more into the mid-life crisis territory of comedy in their latest pilot order. Sarah Silverman will star as a “pathologically honest woman having a mid-life crisis”. The description sounds like a radical departure from The Sarah Silverman Program, but we’re definitely into seeing Silverman get more vulnerable and honest.

There is no title yet, but as Happyish and Togetherness are already dramedies on the premium cable networks, we’d hope the title is something that goes in a slightly different direction just to stand out.

The sequel to Henry Phillips’ Punching The Clown has moved forward very quietly. We heard that it was going into production and then, just over two weeks ago, Phillips himself tweeted that it was “in the can”.

Punching the Clown 2 is now in the can. Look out for it next year! pic.twitter.com/joR73mq8xI

— Henry Phillips (@Henlips) November 25, 2014

So, not only do we have to look forward towards a release, perhaps, sometime next year, but, the cast for Still Punching The Clown is pretty damn great. J.K. Simmons, who you probably saw get sociopathic in Whiplash, Sarah Silverman, Jim Jefferies, Tig Notaro, Doug Stanhope, Mike Judge, Drunk History’s Derek Waters, Nikki Glaser, and more are all being featured in the film.

Hopefully, the news of a release date and the actual release date itself will come soon.

Here Are The Comedy Nominees for The 2015 Grammys

The Grammys have just announced the majority of the nominees for their 83 categories, which include Best Recording Package, Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, Best Album Notes, Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, and Best Comedy Album.

Of course, we’re only concerned with comedy here rather than how an album is packaged or what music is playing in your local chapel’s gift shop, so the nominees for Best Comedy Album are:

“Mandatory Fun”-Weird Al Yankovic
“Obsessed”-Jim Gaffigan
“Oh My God”-Louis C.K.
“Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time”-Patton Oswalt
“We Are Miracles”-Sarah Silverman

Honestly, it’ll be hard to tell who’s going to win as Silverman has an Emmy for We Are Miracles, Yankovic scored #1 Billboard spot with Mandatory Fun, and Oswalt, C.K., and Gaffigan are critically and commercially amongst the top tier of funniest people in comedy right now.

Also, we’d like to note that Joan Rivers got nominated posthumously in the Best Spoken Word Album category for “Diary of a Mad Diva”, Tenacious D got nominated for Best Metal Performance for covering Dio’s “The Last in Line”, and Tegan & Sara and The Lonely Island’s “Everything Is Awesome” from The Lego Movie got nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

See the full list, if you dare, of nominees here.

JASH’s “Rubberhead”, Hosted by Sarah Silverman, Now Available on Vimeo

November 19, 2014

Uncategorized

There have been a number of iterations of a JASH variety show now known as Rubberhead over the last year including the period of time it was a show for XBox.

After jumping through, in, and out of hoops, JASH’s Rubberhead with Sarah Silverman as the host is now available to watch for $5 over at Vimeo.

There is a trailer that would you give sort of an idea of what’s going on in the show (appearances from Todd Glass, Natasha Leggero, Nathan Fielder, Shelby Fero, and way more for starters), but there’s also a very NSFW (and we really stress that this time) sketch “Cops Cum Dicks and Flying” starring Silverman and Seth Rogen that gives you an even better idea of how crazy and funny Rubberhead is.

In the hiatus periods between seasons of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld has gotten various footage from the “cutting floor” and had it assembled for short “single shot” episodes to keep showing what the most successful comedians hanging out together is like.

Watch Brian Regan, Sarah Silverman, and Tina Fey hang with Jerry and go for different type of donuts.

Richard Linklater Looking to Add Jon Hamm, Danny McBride, Key & Peele, and More to Incredible Mr. Limpet

Taking from 1964’s The Incredible Mr. Limpet that had Don Knotts turn into a fish and help hunt Nazi U-boats, director Richard Linklater is going for a remake and lining up a pretty great cast. Zach Galifianakis is attached to play Mr. Limpet, the role Knotts played, and there are no Nazis in this one.

However, Jon Hamm, Sarah Silverman, Danny McBride, Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Jordan Peele, and Keegan-Michael Key are all in talks to join the cast. With Linklater at the helm and this cast, this might be one of the more fascinating, possibly great remakes in a long time.

It’s really hard to argue that comedy isn’t best enjoyed in an intimate space, which is why we have been very keen on Sarah Silverman’s latest HBO special We Are Miracles that was taped at Largo’s Little Room that has a maximum capacity well below the main room’s of around 300.

Just look at this latest promo to see how nice to very simply watch comedy in that small of a venue and also realize that we’re all going to get to watch a new Sarah Silverman stand up special on Nov. 23rd on HBO 10PM.
