This week’s TCB Field Report welcomes comedian/writer/actor/social media prankster extraordinaire (and one of our longtime favorites) Yassir Lester to go over the continually rocky times that we and comedy are going through.

That includes making some much needed updates with animated characters of yesteryear, SXSW, one of the world’s biggest festivals, doing their entire program virtually (with comedy clubs around the country offering SXSW exclusive streamed performances), how virtual writers’ room might be a little bit better than the in-person equivalent, and how he is totally fine with waiting to perform live and in person whenever that’s completely safe to do (and how other folks comedy should be too).

LeBron James Signs Development Deal with Warner Bros.

Based off of his performance in Trainwreck, this might be a good thing.

LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers might have lost the NBA Championship this year, but LeBron has just scored a big development deal to develop shows and movies for Warner Bros. Outside of the infamous “Decision”, James has generally kept a very charismatic persona. Playing Bill Hader’s best friend in Trainwreck only reinforced that notion.

Under such an agreement, it will almost be no surprise if he will be the star in Space Jam 2, which is in development at Warner Bros.

There aren’t a lot of specifics as to what, if any, projects that James is specifically focused on right now, but don’t be surprised if most of them are in comedy.
