Jon Daly Joins in on Jared Hess Armored Car Heist Comedy
So far, Jared Hess had managed to gather Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, and Kate McKinnon for his heist comedy. Now, Hess continues to round out this cast with amazing people by adding Jon Daly.
Slated to come out just over a year from now, this could be the action comedy of the Summer.
Ken Marino, Kate McKinnon, Mary Elizabeth Ellis Join Jared Hess Heist Comedy
In addition to the top billed cast Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, and Kristen Wiig, Ken Marino, Kate McKinnon, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Leslie Jones, Devin Ratray, and Ross Kimball are now in on the Jared Hess directed heist comedy.
That’s one hell of a cast and we wonder if we’ll get to see all of them in the trailer when that comes out.
Renowned director Alejandro González Iñárritu is making his first foray into comedy here in the States with Birdman. The film follows an attempt by a former action star played by Michael Keaton to revive his career via Broadway. The rest of the cast includes Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Amy Ryan, and Andrea Riseborough.
This teaser trailer only gives a taste of what is to come, but the end is pretty satisfying and makes us want a little more and then some of Birdman.
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Reteam for Richard Linklater’s “Larry’s Kidney”
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis have quite the slate coming up, both individually and together. Already, Galifianakis is going to be in a Ferrell/McKay production, Will, and now, Zach and Ferrell will be co-starring together in a new Richard Linklater film, Larry’s Kidney.
On top of all these great people being attached, the movie is based on a book called Being the True Story of How I Found Myself in China with My Black Sheep Cousin and His Mail-Order Bride, Skirting the Law to Get Him a Transplant–and Save His Life.
So, we’re definitely into this and hope it gets rolling into production soon.
The Artist’s Michel Hazanavicius to Direct ‘Will’ Starring Zach Galifianakis
Do you remember The Artist taking Best Picture at The Oscars a few years ago, seemingly out of nowhere? Well, director Michel Hazanavicius is now moving into comedy by being set to direct Will from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.
In addition to that being an incredibly intriguing pairing, Galifianakis is now attached to star and Demetri Martin is writing Will. We can’t wait to see what comes of this.
Portlandia’s Jonathan Krisel To Direct Louis C.K./Zach Galifianakis FX Pilot
All three of those names together, Louis C.K., Zach Galifianakis, and Jonathan Krisel, should make for one hell of a great pilot.
Let’s hope this gets picked up soon just so we can see what they came up with.
Comedy Central’s curated animated series Trip Tank got its first full length trailer and a few preview clips today. There’s plenty of wild, bizarre, great stuff happening as well as voices you’ll know like Zach Galifianakis, Bob Odenkirk, and more.
Trip Tank premieres Wed. Apr. 2nd 10:30PM on Comedy Central, but for now you can watch a series trailer and “killer bees”.
No matter what we say here, we’re sure you’re going to watch President Barack Obama be a guest on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. No, this isn’t a hoax like HUVr.
It might delight you to know that beyond the President doing an episode of a web series opposite Galifianakis, Obama is pretty great in ribbing Zach while plugging Healthcare.gov.
Zach Galifianakis To Star In and Co-Write Louis C.K. Pilot at FX/FXx
Well, if you had to formulate to make one of the most anticipated pilots of the entire pilot season, having Zach Galifianakis team up with Louis C.K. is a really good way to it. As part of his development deal, C.K. has done just that for FX/FXx.
There are no details as what the pilot might be, which makes us think that C.K. might be playing it so close to the chest that FX/FXx might not even know.
Samuel L. Jackson, Tobey Maguire, and Arcade Fire join Zach Galifianakis in the latest episode of Between Two Ferns/how awkward a good portion of Christmas parties will be this year.
Either way, you win because it’s a brand spanking new episode of Between Two Ferns right here, right now.
Tenacious D’s Festival Supreme Is Happening This October on Santa Monica Pier
Boasting the likes of Sarah Silverman, Mr. Show, Tig Notaro, Zach Galifianakis, Eric Idle, Reggie Watts, Fred Armisen, Princess (Maya Rudolph’s Prince cover band), Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Neil Hamburger, and more in addition to the comedy rock gods duo Tenacious D themselves, Jack Black and Kyle Gass are putting together quite the one day comedy rock festival.
Called Festival Supreme, it’s going to take place at the Santa Monica Pier Sat. October 19th, and if you have the dough (tickets go from $99-$250), you can be part of what could be pretty amazing.
Coupled with the LA Podcast Festival taking place two weeks before also in Santa Monica, you might want to stay on the west side of LA for comedy in October.
For those of you not in LA or NYC to see Zach Galifianakis going up lately and doing stand-up, here’s what you probably jonesing for.
Zach Galifiankis sat down with Jimmy Fallon last night and recounted his very short stint writing at SNL, consequently creeping out Britney Spears when she was hosting, and the upside to hitchhiking.
All in all, it’s the type of stories we’d like to hear more of on late night.
Brody Stevens’ “Enjoy It” Coming to Comedy Central with More and Longer Episodes
The great behind the curtain series of Brody Stevens, Enjoy It, had a great run at HBO and now will have another go at Comedy Central. If you weren’t lucky enough to have an HBO subscription to see it on HBO GO, then do not miss it this time around.
Also, according to a source of ours, this is only the start of the good Brody news this week. #POSITIVE ENERGY
Comedy from Alejandro González Iñnáritu, Birdman, To Have Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Zach
A comedy from the director of Babel is certainly intriguing enough, but now with Michael Keaton starring with Emma Stone and Zach Galifianakis in addition to Edward Norton and Naomi Watts, Birdman will definitely be on our radars as it should be yours.
The Laugh Button: Zach Galifiankis Heckles Queens Of The Stone Age
According to EW.com, Queens Of The Stone Age got more than they bargained for at a recent Zach Galifianakis stand-up show. The band had apparently asked the comedian/Hangover star’s manager for free tickets to his sold out show in LA Wednesday night (August 31). While Josh Homme, Troy…
