The Lucas Brothers Moving Co. Premieres Tonight on Fox
The animated series from great comedy brother duo The Lucas Brothers is making its premiere tonight on Fox ADHD.
Tune into Fox at 11PM and see what an animated show with a mix of rapper Danny Brown and Natasha Leggero as well as those bizarrely chill Lucas Brothers will be like.
Conan O’Brien got his infamous associate producer Jordan Schlansky to finally clean up his office by bringing in a personal organizer unannounced to Jordan’s office. Of course, Jordan’s not so keen on the idea.
Conan and Schlansky are one the best running bits in late night.
Comedy Central is doubling down in their series greenlights today with picking up Big Time in Hollywood, FL produced by Ben Stiller and the animated Moonbeam City, produced by Conan’s Scott Gairdner and Rob Lowe with Lowe, Kate Mara, Elizabeth Banks, and Will Forte all doing voices.
So, it’s a pretty good day for Comedy Central.
Chad Daniels comes back to the stage at Conan for his second set at the show. Though they’re are definitely some purists who would disagree, we’re glad to see more comics dressing how they want during the late night sets like Daniels does here with a hoodie and letting their comedy speak for itself.
Watch Chad Daniels return here.
With a 3rd season nearing it’s premiere and the order for a 4th season just ordered, we’re wondering if HBO just likes seeing what Lena Dunham will go for each season with Girls before renewing it.
Either way, we’re glad to get more Girls coming for the next year or so.
The Spoils of Babylon Premieres Tonight on IFC
What might be the most epic comedy mini series (it certainly has the look for it) on TV, The Spoils of Babylon starring Tobey Maguire and Kristen Wiig premieres tonight on IFC at 10PM.
Let’s see if it’s a hilarious cross between The Heart She Holler and There Will Be Blood that we think it very well might be.
Louis C.K., Modern Family, The Colbert Report and More Get DGA Awards TV Nominations
Along with 30 Rock, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, all the above got DGA Awards nominations for television and their respective directors.
Interesting to note: One of those Modern Family nominations is for Bryan Cranston.
Comedy Central’s “@midnight w/Chris Hardwick” is on at midnight, which should be late enough to not censor most words/images.
Yet, those FCC rules still hold up for some reason as you’ll see Hardwick explain during a taping of “@midnight”.
Oh, you’re watching “@midnight” right? It’s back on four days a week on Comedy Central at the self-titled time.
FX Tries For Another Rock Comedy with Pilot From Denis Leary
Two years ago, FX had Dana Gould and Dave Grohl developing a rock comedy, which we’re really excited about, but ended up not going very far beyond development.
In 2014, a force behind one of their longest running series in Rescue Me, Denis Leary, is taking another crack at a rock comedy in a pilot called Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.
Perhaps, this one will fare a little better.
Sara Benincasa Writing ‘Agorafabulous’ Pilot for USA Network
The wonderful Sara Benincasa has gotten her book Agorafabulous!: Dispatches from My Bedroom
Hopefully, we’ll hear about it getting green lit before too long.
Harland Williams is one of our favorite late night guests usually evidenced by his unfiltered tomfoolery while on Conan.
Here’s another great example of it in his latest Conan appearance.
TBS Renews The Pete Holmes Show for 13 Weeks
Many of you we were wondering what the word was on The Pete Holmes Show when it went on hiatus last year.
Luckily, the word is “renewal”.
The Pete Holmes Show just got picked up for 13 more weeks and returns to TBS on Feb. 24th, incidentally (or not so incidentally) the same day as Late Night with Seth Meyers premieres.
Craig Robinson’s Mr. Robinson Going to Series at NBC
NBC has just ordered a handful of episodes from Craig Robinson’s pilot Mr. Robinson to air, which, according to the description, sounds a lot like School of Rock as a TV series starring Craig Robinson.
Anyone taking bets for whether they’ll do a parody of the song Mrs. Robinson at some point?
Sasheer Zamata Joins ‘Saturday Night Live’ As New Cast Member
After the wave of criticism of the lack of diversity at SNL, then a sketch making fun of said criticism last year, Lorne Michaels “secretly” auditioned a group of black female comedians to be cast members.
Yesterday, it was announced that, from that group, Sasheer Zamata will be the newest cast member at Saturday Night Live. We hope that she kills it in her first episode.
