Ken Marino to Star Opposite Casey Wilson in NBC Pilot ‘Marry Me’

Casey Wilson is not only re-teaming with David Caspe from Happy Endings for their NBC pilot Marry Me, but now, Ken Marino will star opposite her.

There are no details if he’s going to play more of the husband role that he’s played in Wanderlust or Burning Love, but we’re sure Marino is going to be great whether playing awful or great fiancé.

David Wain To Direct Amy Poehler’s NBC Pilot ‘Old Soul’

David Wain is going to direct an Amy Poehler pilot at NBC and while there isn’t any commitment to air it, we’re sure the Internet would love to see this Old Soul pilot if it doesn’t get picked up to series.

Billy Eichner running and screaming, Amy Poehler, Lena Dunham, Seth Meyers, bouncing, and more are all encompassed in this trailer for the latest season Billy on the Street. In other words, it’s what we were hoping for in new episodes of Billy on the Street and can’t wait until it premieres Mar. 12th 11PM on Fuse.

Margaret Cho to Co-Star in Tina Fey/Matt Hubbard Comedy at Fox

Tina Fey’s comedy project set at a women’s college that has already gotten a series order at Fox is indeed going to have Margaret Cho co-starring.
This means we’ll get to see Cho as a women’s college president at some point this year, which will be some intriguing production stills to see whenever those come out later this year.

Colin Jost To Be New SNL Weekend Update Co-Anchor

Colin Jost will join Cecily Strong in co-anchoring Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update replacing Seth Meyers when Meyers heads to Late Night.

The shifting from Weekend Update host to Late Night host to host of The Tonight Show seems to be a last bastion of old school television especially considering that many of the newer late night shows are named just after the host.

It’s pretty great (watch this episode if you don’t believe us), so don’t miss it.

‘Ellen’ To Air In China

A deal has been made to air The Ellen DeGeneres Show in China after it airs here in the U.S. 

Someone needs to make a mini documentary of how Chinese people react to Ellen when it airs on a regular basis.

Bill Cosby Returning To NBC To Star In Family Comedy

NBC is having one of the most noted and respected names in comedy Bill Cosby back on the network.

There’s no specifics on what the half hour series would be, but given Cosby’s latest special Far From Finished, doing things like taking over Funny or Die’s Twitter account, constantly leading Jimmy Fallon through his late night segments during his appearance, we’d guess that this will be a Cosby Show for now.

Rashida Jones To Star in Steve Carell’s TBS Comedy Pilot ‘Tribeca’

Having Rashida Jones star in this a police procedural comedy pilot from Steve Carell should equal automatic series pick up. With that news, Carell’s Tribeca just even got more highly anticipated amongst comedy pilots this season.

Let’s see if the TV development math checks out soon.

Amy Poehler To Be Fallon’s Last Guest, Meyers’ First Guest on “Late Night”

Whether a link between eras of comedy at SNL between Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers or just one of the funniest people around, it’s a smart move, in our opinion to have Amy Poehler be the guest to send off Fallon to The Tonight Show and welcome Meyers to Late Night.

It’s safe to say that most of us want to see this.

ABC To Have Another Holiday ‘Toy Story’ TV Special

Not that it would be surprising, but ABC seemed to have success enough with a Halloween Toy Story special that it’s going forward to have another one for Christmas. 

If this keeps on going, maybe ABC will make one for Columbus Day.

NBC Orders Comedy Pilots From Gary Sanchez Prods and Dan Mazer

NBC latest addition to their development slate this pilot season is Mission Control from Will Ferrell & Adam McKay’s Gary Sanchez Productions that’s something like an Anchorman set at NASA and Love is Relative from Borat’s Dan Mazer.

There’s lots of interesting stuff that we’d like to some series from.

Showtime Picks Up Philip Seymour Hoffman Comedy ‘Happyish’ to Series

Showtime will now have Happyish, a dark comedy from Phillip Seymour Hoffman, as part of their line-up.

There are few details and the description of the series is kind of broad at this point, but, with Phillip Seymour Hoffman behind this, Happyish might be really great (and hopefully won’t be confused with the extremely dark Happiness, which Seymour was also in).

Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo Book ABC Comedy Pilot

There isn’t really any vacationing according to the description of the pilot, but that still doesn’t take away from the hope that a Griswold reunion could bring about since Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo are together again for this ABC comedy pilot.

Let’s hope that it’s more like Vegas Vacation and less like Modern Family since ABC has that Modern Family base covered..

Tonight’s is offering up more than a solid block of TV comedy with the comedy partners of the moment Amy Poehler and Tina Fey back hosting The Golden Globes live at 8PM EST/5PM PST on NBC, which leaves more than enough time on the West coast to catch the premiere of Season 3 of Girls on HBO at 10PM.

We’d say plan accordingly, but it looks like we have already done that for you.

HBO Sets Premiere Dates for ‘Veep’, ‘Silicon Valley’ & More

Too much time has passed from when the last season of Veep ended and for Mike Judge’s live action HBO series Silicon Valley featuring TJ Miller, Kumail Nanjiani, Thomas Middleditch, and more.

Thankfully, there’s premiere dates for both of those shows in April so we know exactly how long we have to fidgeting until they hit the air.
