Conan O’Brien kicked off his week at Comic-Con appropriately with taking Mad Max: Fury Road’s Doof Wagon down from LA to San Diego. 

On top of that, he found “secret” audition tapes for the new Wolverine that will soon replace Hugh Jackman which includes Hannibal Buress, Patton Oswalt, Larry King, and more.

Even more impressive than that, O’Brien passed a “Comic-Con Citizenship Test” proctored by none other than the Nerdist himself, Chris Hardwick.

This was all just Conan’s first day at Comic-Con and we can only imagine the possibilities of what’s to come. Let’s hope for special editions of Clueless Gamer and a walk from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog on the Comic-Con floor.

Clueless Gamer has just marked its very first multiplayer episode with a 3-on-3 showdown with Halo 5: Guardians.

Conan O’Brien enlisted the help of Aaron Bleyaert and Andy Richter to take on Thomas Middleditch, TJ Miller, and Zach Woods from Silicon Valley.

The results of the battle are all the trash talking, skill disparity based on generational differences, and bribing that you’d want from a Clueless Gamer battle.

Actually, we don’t know if there’s a really universally good way to break up with someone, but it’s still pretty fun to watch Thomas Middleditch “reenact” a break-up with Alexi Wasser on her show Alexi on Bed.

Watch it here.

Animated Feature “Henchmen” Adds Thomas Middleditch, Nathan Fillion, and More To Already Stellar Cast

(via Variety)

The cast of Henchmen already had Jane Krakowski, Craig Robinson, Will Sasso, and Rob Riggle.

As part of a growing trend to humanize cartoon villains, Henchmen will have the impressive cast of the aforementioned and Thomas Middleditch, Rosario Dawson, Alfred Molina, Nathan Fillion, and James Marsden.

Always an underdog and never starting as top dog, Middleditch stars as the newest member to an evil organization that falls into trouble by taking a weapon that he shouldn’t have.

Just from the description, we’re guessing that Henchmen probably be slightly less goofy than Minions (for starters, the Henchmen probably don’t speak gibberish). Let’s hope that it’ll please a wider age range of audiences as well. 

Paul Scheer Is Now Re-creating Episodes of TRL Called “Scheer-RL”

This first one is a doozy with Ryan Hansen and Thomas Middleditch playing members 98 Degrees.

Remember when Paul Scheer recreated some of the craziest moments on The Arsenio Hall Show from the 90s and called it “The ArScheerio Paul Show”?

Well, Paul’s giving hit music video countdown show Total Request Live the same treatment on JASH as Scheer-RL, though, this time he’s getting a little more creative with the recreations rather than exactly reenacting what happened.

This first episode features one of the more awkward appearances on TRL with the boy band 98 Degrees, exaggerated perfectly.
