For those missing Vanessa Bayer on SNL and seeing her various characters where the veneer of their reality is starting to crack, you won’t have to reminisce about seeing her back on screen in the same spirit once again.

I Love That For You centers on Bayer as an aspiring, but incredibly green host of a home shopping network and what she ends up doing to achieve that dream of telling folks that various housewares just sold out. Created by Vanessa and Jeremy Beiler, this might go a little darker than Jennifer Lawrence in Joy, but have tender, humorous moments, especially with Molly Shannon playing an iconic home shopping network host that Bayer looks up to. Also, we’re pretty sure Matt Rogers is going to be a scene stealer in this series.

This is Showtime’s latest comedy series in the ever burgeoning streaming wars and, so far, this might have the makings of something that will make you not regret paying for another streaming service or get on board for another one.

Take a first gander at all of this for yourself at I Love That For You with the first official trailer here.

The SNL Digital Shorts still prove to be the cornerstone of this era of Saturday Night Live and the one from this past weekend is no different.

Watch a faux trailer that SNL made for God is a Boob Man, which burns the new rise of homophobia over the last year, specifically Mississippi’s Religious Freedom law, HB 1523.

Often times, when a man remarries, he goes for a woman that is younger, perhaps so much younger that it’s kind of ridiculous.

So, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler highlighted that point on last night’s SNL with a new, innovative, somehow omniscient game show, Meet Your Second Wife.

More junket interviews should be like this.

At least one of the press junket interviews for Trainwreck has been conducted by someone who isn’t asking the same dull non-interesting questions that comprise most press junket interviews while also being funny.

Kurt Metzger, who writes on Inside Amy Schumer, got to conduct a “completely serious” interview with his boss Amy Schumer and her Trainwreck co-star Vanessa Bayer.

Like we said above, press folks should take a few cues to have more fun at junkets.

Watch it here, then be sure to watch Trainwreck (we saw it and it was great) this Fri. at a theater near you.

Yesterday, Jenny Lewis and Mikal Cronin released their music videos for “She’s Not Me” and “Say”, respectively, that offer more evidence that music videos are on their way back and are more than just bands in different clothes playing in front of different back drops.

In Lewis’ She’s Not Me, Vanessa Bayer, Zosia Mamet, Fred Armisen, and more semi-recreate Jenny’s past as a former child actress.

Mikal Cronin enlists the help of Kurt Braunohler, Jonah Ray, Allan McLeod, Nick Thune, and Nelson Franklin to be in his video for Say, though he may have spoke too soon (pun absolutely intended).

Along with JASH’s 5K music video series and any music video Tom Scharpling directs, maybe we don’t need MTV to play music videos ever again.
