We’ve gotten plenty of holiday specific budget advice from Conan’s prop master Bill Tull over the years.
It’s only natural that he would get to something less time sensitive.
So, if either your family or your spouse’s family isn’t going to foot the bill to pay for the wedding, then look to Bill Tull for some ways to save some money on your special day.
Every time Bill Murray comes on to The Late Show with David Letterman, it’s a pretty magical time.
Whether he’s merely telling true stories or thinking up of who should be in the female reboot of The Ghostbusters or “training for a marathon” or getting back from George Clooney’s wedding, Bill and Dave have some damn good fun.
Hopefully, Bill’s on a few more times before Dave leaves The Late Show.
Jason Bateman To Direct, Star In FBI Wedding Comedy For Universal
Though the juxtaposition of FBI and wedding comedy might seem incongruous, Jason Bateman’s directorial debut with Bad Words was so fantastic that we’re on board with whatever he’s at work with here.
Like Bad Words, Bateman is set to direct and star and this has us thoroughly intrigued.
Awesome NYC based sketch group Murderfist presents a rehearsal dinner for a wedding that probably takes the cake for hysterical rehearsal dinners (so long as you’re not actually in attendance for this one).
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a good mockumentary or even really thought of the word despite shows like The Office being such a phenomenon. Still, “Break Up at Wedding” seems to be just that mockumentary we’re looking for following a videographer not cutting out any of a disastrous wedding he just shot.
