From Indecision 2008…
Yeah, I was gonna go for a lame Alfred E. Neuman joke in the title
up there, but Obama beat me to the lame punch in reference to his ears.
In all seriousness, though, this is some surprisingly funny stuff. I wonder who wrote it…
Watch John McCain's speech.
First Amy Poehler's NBC sitcom, then Amy Sedaris's project,
and now Will Arnett has his own sweet deal. What?! Did television decide it didn't own enough of my life already?
Will Arnett is making his way back to Fox, thanks to a handsome and somewhat unique development deal.
Seriously, this deal isn't just handsome, it's downright fuckable! I would sleep with this development deal and then cry afterward because it's clearly too good for me. It's not just handsome, it's unique too! No way can I satisfy its needs.
Arnett will have a high degree of creative control over any project,
the trade papers report. He'll have a say in which writers and
directors he works with and input on the show's concept.
Holy guacamole farts! Will Arnett, a man I would trust with my soul if I hadn't already lost it in the war ('Nam was tough, guys), has a high degree of creative control?! This is great, but the news doesn't stop there.
The actor also is scheduled to return to 30 Rock to reprise his role as an oily network executive.
Whenever Will Arnett shows up on 30 Rock, I get so happy, I want to crack open a box of champale to celebrate. In fact, I'm sticking a straw in one now.
Arnett and his wife, Amy Poehler, are expecting their first child in the next few weeks.
A round of champale for everybody, bartender! And by "bartender", I mean, my mom. And by "a round for everybody," I mean, I'm going to drink alone to ease the pain of not being good enough for Will Arnett's development deal. It was probably just with me out of pity.
Slashfilm reports that Kevin Smith will be moving on from porn to develop an outer space comedy, with a budget reported to be in the $50 million range. The brothers' Weinstein showed an interest in the first draft of the movie. It'll cost about $15 million more than the most recent films Smith has directed, partially because he'll have to negotiate with George Lucas to use Jar-Jar Binks.
K-Smitty mentions that writing this film will be a challenge, since most of his work has centered on male/female relationships or male friendships, rather than say Ewok/Wookie love (although that was kind of like the theme to Chasing Amy). There are several plot devices that Smith can use though, to make this space comedy feel just like any other comedy:
“It used to be that it wasn’t feminine to be funny. Now it is,” said Gloria Steinem before the Ms. Foundation fundraiser at “The 19th Annual Comedy Hour at Caroline's on Broadway” Wednesday night.
“The ability to make people laugh is a form of power.”
Gloria is a funny woman. She’s a natural. With refreshing charm and graciousness, she’s knows how to inspire laughter. When she took the stage, she got ‘em laughing immediately.
“I’m the opening act for the debates,” she said. Commenting on Sarah Palin and the Republican Party she noted, “It seems to me that for any Hillary supporter to be interested in Sarah Palin it would be like saying, ‘They stole my shoes, so I’m going to amputate my leg.’”
The show’s MC, Suzanne Whang, a self-described "Craze-Asian," kept the show flowing smoothly with insightful clarity and wit.
"Humor lowers defenses so you can sneak messages in,‚Äù she explained. ‚ÄúIt levels the playing field, releases endorphins, it‚Äôs good for your ab muscles, raises your vibrational frequency and your consciousness — and what‚Äôs more important than that?"
The comedic consciousness was in full force throughout the hilarious and high-energy evening. The show featured seven fabulous females, each with their own endearing style, packing a positive punch.
You might be surprised to learn this, but I'm not so great with fashion. Most of the time I get so frustrated about my clothes, I just wear nothing. Or a tuxedo. Or sometimes just the top part of a tuxedo. And sure, those three options alone are enough to keep me from embarrassing myself, but let's face it, you and I could both learn a lot from Gabe and Max.
Today marks the third anniversary of The Colbert Report, and on last night's show Stephen listed off a bunch of his favorite memories from the past year. So, for your anniversary-celebrating pleasure, I went ahead and dug up clips from all of those classic Colbert moments. After you watch them, make sure you buy Stephen something leathery.
Kristen Wiig is quickly becoming an SNL favorite. Here are her Top 10 SNL Moments. [TV Squad]
Kathy Griffin talks about attending a dinner party with Don Rickles at Suzanne Somer's house. I think I had that same dream last night. [Freep]
Steve Carell is up for a role in The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard, a period comedy about the Napoleonic wars. How could the Napoleonic wars not be funny?! [Hollywood Reporter]
While everyone was arguing who won the debate, McCain, Obama, or Joe the plumber, this video snuck up behind them and won the election of awesomeness. [Four Four]
Remember the literal version of Take on Me? Here's one for Head Over Heels which is possibly an even kookier video (as if that was even possible). [Funny or Die]
Stephen Lynch inked a deal with Comedy Central for an international tour. Don't you love it when people use the word ink as a verb. I just inked my pants. [Punchline]
What insult should be the new douchebag? Feel free to use your favorite insult on me in the comments section (unfunny, stupid, typo, etc.). [Best Week Ever]
In these divided and charged times we call America, Mo Rocca dares to ask the questions that matter. [YouTube Reviewed]
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was at the debates last night. He was probably
making a lucid and honest report. NOT! Oh, wait, wrong catchphrase. [Fox News]
There's a brand new episode of The Sarah Silverman Program tonight at 10:30pm/9:30c, and if you're worried that it won't have enough hilarious slideshows with butts and farts and stuff, consider your concerns put to rest. Eternal rest. This clip will murder your concerns and make your concerns' family watch.
From Indecision 2008…
You're
probably still digesting last night's Presidential debate, but it's
time to start getting ready for the next one already. Didn't you hear? There's another US Presidential debate this Sunday:
Free and Equal.Org,
a group formed to encourage third-party candidacies, is promoting a
debate at the Columbia Political Union at Columbia University in New
York for all six candidates seeking the presidency. The group is pretty much resigned to the fact that neither Senator John McCain nor Senator Barack Obama will be there.
What? Why would they resign themselves to that? These are people battling for .5% of the popular vote and that's
the thing they've decided to be realists about? If I was them I
wouldn't just expect Obama and McCain to show. I'd set places on the
stage for FDR, Lincoln, Dave, Batman and Bigfoot. As long as you're
banking on the impossible, why not shoot the moon?
[Event planner Christina M.] Tobin added that if this event, which will be held at 8 p.m. is successful, her group plans to hold another one a few days later.
Sounds good to me, but why stop there? Put one on every week for the
next four years. I checked the candidates' schedules and they're wide
open.
What can I say? This is a clip from last night's South Park of Cartman eating his underwear. Spoiler alert, I guess, but it still packs a punch even when you know it's coming. Is it funny? Certainly. But the first adjective that comes to my mind is actually visceral. Most visceral underwear-eating scene since Ordinary People. Maybe even since Last Tango in Paris.
More clips and full episodes can always be found at South Park Studios.
