The great Sean Patton, one of  our all time favorites, is this week’s esteemed guest on the TCB Field Report. Right now, he’s one of a rare few that’s gotten to headline some live in-person (outdoor) shows around the country (where COVID-19 isn’t so rampant right at the moment). Sean zooms with TCB’s Jake Kroeger about his experience trying to get back to what do Sean does so, so, so very well: stand-up. They also get into some actually spicy takes on Sam  Jay’s new HBO talk show, JFL Montreal New Faces for 2020, Bob’s Burgers & Family Guy getting renewed, and Borat 2.

Follow Sean @mrseanpatton on Instagram and please purchase and enjoy his albums, Scuttlebutt & Standard Operating Procedure.

Comic Con Is Going Virtual This Year, Will Still Have Plenty of Comedy Panels, and Will Be Free

July 9, 2020
News
adventure time, American Dad!, archer, Bless the Harts, bob's burgers, comic con, Crossing Swords, Duncanville, family guy, Infinity Train, looney tunes, phineas and ferb, robot chicken, solar opposites, superstore, The Boys, the-simpsons, Upload, what we do in the shadows

Something the size of world famous, annual San Diego Comic-Con obviously isn’t going to happen this year due to the pandemic. However, rather than just outright postponing, Comic-Con is going to try for virtual editions of their renowned panels that reveal insider info and details from creators and talent of movies, TV, comic-books, etc.

They’re calling it Comic-Con@Home and it’ll stream from Jul. 22nd-26th and, best of all, it’ll be free (or maybe not waiting to get into Hall H is better?). This virtual edition of SDCC will include panel discussion from What We Do In the Shadows, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, Solar Opposites, Robot Chicken, Archer, Crossing Swords, Duncanville, Upload, The Boys, Superstore, Adventure Time, Infinity Train, Phineas and Ferb, Bless the Harts, American Dad!, Family Guy, Looney Tunes, and Bill & Ted Face the Music.

Look through the entire Comic-Con@Home schedule and get details on how to stream all of these events here.

Not only will be Kate McKinnon be busting ghosts soon, but she’ll also expanding beyond her roles at SNL by voicing Heavy Flow, the pro female wrestler sister of Peter Griffin on Family Guy.

This past Sunday, The Simpsons returned for their 26th season as well as had their highly anticipated crossover episode with Family Guy.

So, The Simpsons made sure that there couch gag on that night would be like nothing we’ve seen before. So they enlisted award winning animator and filmmaker Don Hertzfeldt to make an uber-futuristic couch gag and he did not disappoint.

If you have Hulu Plus, you can watch “The Simpsons Guy” right now and get your fix for meta Simpsons/Family guy jokes all in a few clicks.

Earlier this year, Fox announced the crossover of the two longest running animated series that the network has ever had, The Simpsons and Family Guy. While even the most casual fans of either series probably speculated what that might look like, you don’t have to speculate anymore as a preview at Comic Con this past weekend was screened.

Now, you can watch that 4:55 preview right here and find all the inside series crossover/network jokes you possibly can.

(via Entertainment Weekly)

On top of their being a crossover episode with Family Guy after a decade of being hit animated series on Fox, The Simpsons will have a cameo from the titular Bob of Bob’s Burgers in the very same episode.

The Simpsons’ other big crossover, the one with Futurama, is going to air on Nov. 9th that will indeed feature the voices of the Futurama cast. 

The Simpsons are really going for the fences with this season and we can’t wait to see it.

There Will Be a Simpsons/Family Guy Crossover Episode Later This Year

The Simpsons and Family Guy, after being on TV together, are actually, for the first time, having a crossover episode. It will be an hour long, so it will cover the time slots of both shows.

We wonder if this means that they are going to come up with the most elaborate couch gag yet. The Simpsons Guy, as it is being called, will air in September.

Fox made quite the moves yesterday in regards to their comedy slate. 

They nabbed both a reality competition series to be produced by Steve Carell as well as a sitcom set in a Fisherman’s Wharf by Family Guy’s own Kevin Biggins and Travis Bowe. 

Hopefully, these will go to air instead of being shopped around to other networks like Murder Police.

Recently: Alex Sulkin, a staff writer at the popular adult-slanted cartoon Family Guy, was harshly called out for his insensitive, offensive attempt at making light of the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami that wreaked havoc, death, and destruction on Japan just yesterday.  Lesson: don’t make jokes in the “never too early” spirit of trying to be as controversial as possible just for the sake of being as controversial as possible, thinking the shock itself is what’s funny.  Make jokes because the accepted inconsistency or overlooked false assumption is legitimately funny.  Take a cue from Paul Provenza and his angle on 9/11.
