Pretty, Pretty Pony is and has been, hands down, one of our favorite improv groups amidst the ever-multiplying number of improv teams in and throughout LA. You should always catch their monthly residency where they do improv based off of a monologist’s stories at the Westside Comedy Theater for their high-level, yet subversive long form improv done exquisitely by a cast of Cole Stratton, Joey Greer, Vanessa Ragland, Ed Roe, Atul Singh, Chris Alvarado.

This edition of Pretty, Pretty Pony is especially special as their guest monologist is none other than David X. Cohen who has brought us one of the more fun visions of the future with Futurama. Undoubtedly, his stories of his own past ought to be something pretty special too.

Tickets are only $6 and you can (and should) get them here.

SyFy to Have Futurama Reruns Next Month

In November, episodes of Matt Groening’s Futurama will air on SyFy, which is a fitting home for the show.

Maybe, down the road, Futurama will once again be revived in this new home for new episodes. It wouldn’t be surprising at all if that happened as Futurama seems to continue on in some way, shape, or form.

Sure, this might another instance where “Shut up and take my money!” is applicable. 

You should note, however, that this mobile game is made “in collaboration with the many of the show’s original writers, cast and animators.”

TinyCo is developing “Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow” and the release date has yet to be announced.

(via Uproxx)

Shut up and take my… oh, you know the drill by now.

Futurama: Game of Drones will be the latest connection to the beloved series Futurama that fans keep alive enough to justify something new. Futurama writer and producer Patric Verrone is on board along with Wooga and Fox Digital Entertainment in case you’re wondering how in line this game will be with the actual series.

As you might imagine, a game version of Futurama will involve their very ill advised deliveries in competition with another interstellar delivery service.

So, at this point, it would seem that Futurama fans only need to wait a few years for some new Futurama-related release to come around.

The Final Series Finale of Futurama Airs Tonight

It’s only fitting to accompany FXx’s television debut tonight with the exit of something as momentous, which just happens to be the very last series finale (not something that very many TV shows could ever say) of Futurama. 

Tune in at 9:30PM on Comedy Central to catch it and don’t forget about pre- and post- shows hosted by Chris Hardwick.

‘Futurama’ Series Finale Will Have Pre- and Post-Show Shows Hosted by Chris Hardwick

As Futurama reaches its series finale after an improbably rise from the dead along with the incredibly loyal cult following that it has fostered, what other way would be more appropriate to end the series than with a companion commentary shows, before and after the finale next Wed., hosted by Chris Hardwick?

Not much outside of having a Shelbyville hyper loop reference could do much better.

2) Futurama doesn’t have to be raised from the dead for at least 2 more seasons.

3) Tonight in late night TV comedy appearances: Jon Benjamin (yes, the one from Jon Benjamin Has a Van) is on Conan (TBS 11PM) and Don Rickles will hopefully tell a better story on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (CBS 12:35AM) than he did on Leno.

4) Matt Kirshen on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

5) You almost have to forgive Pete Holmes as a doctor if you’re diagnosis is given like this…

6) Check out Rob O’Reilly and Barry Rothbart give Superman Brandon Routh his other kryptonite: annoying Domino’s surprise delivery people begging to try Domino’s new pizza.

The Last Pizza Commercial from Brandon Routh

7) So there’s is going to be an open mic this Friday under a floodlight in a park… Also, they’re going to use a megaphone instead of a mic, which is why it’s an “open meg”.

2) As the Hollywood Improv Lab has taken on a new identity as a comedy venue a few months ago (read more about that here), they deserve a new poster and they finally got one by Sean Barrett.

3) OH, so THERE IS an app for that?  Futurama comes out with a “Head-in-a-Jar Creator”.

4) If you haven’t checked out the Opinion section of Laughspin.com, please do because we wrote a lot of it.

5) Don Rickles makes another appearance on TV tomorrow on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (12:35AM CBS).  The idea of Rickles trying to play the mouth organ should be more than enough to make you set your DVRs.

6) Oh yeah, the 1st episode of the 2nd Season of Louie is on Hulu.  We’re sure plenty of you watched it, but some people businesses can’t afford basic cable in their home office.

“Enter JAIME LANNISTER, an important member of the 92,924,024-person cast. He has just finished elaborately sexing a glimmering satyr with his shimmering be-amuleted penis. P.S. There are 356,753,103 satyrs in this show. They are half-horse/half-sexy horse.”
