Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert aired the first half of his interview with Maurice Sendak, and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the legendary author's curmudgeonly bluntness, and it really set the bar high for the second half. Well, last night, part two aired, and from it did not disappoint, unless you think talking shit about Give a Mouse a Cookie is disappointing, in which case, you can go straight to hell.
The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30/10:30c.
Being a good cartoonist isn't just knowing how to draw, it's knowing when to stop drawing. If cartoonists filled out every detail, Mickey Mouse would eventually look like a rodent with rickets. And in the case of Futurama, if you keep filling out the details of Professor Farnsworth, you get the most horrifying thing imaginable: an old person with an overbite!

"Om" is so last year, you guys. Everyone know the hot new mantra is "Tosh, Tosh, Tosh." All the coolest yogis are intoning it.

How do Barcelona have this ability to make Real Madrid look like absolute comedy central, game in game out? Unreal. I don't know; I don't watch hockey.

I always hear people saying the key to success is a strong personal brand, but I never really understood what personal branding was until I saw this Key & Peele clip. I think I'd rather just be unsuccessful.
The series premiere of Key & Peele airs next Tuesday at 10:30/9:30c right after the season premiere of Tosh.0.
New In Town, the title of John Mulaney's upcoming stand-up special, is a reference to one of the bits in the set. But did you know there's a second meaning? There is, and in this web-exclusive video, Dan Mintz investigates to get to the bottom of this long-held secret. It's basically The Da Vinci Code with more convincing wigs.
John Mulaney: New In Town premieres Saturday at 10/9c.
Last night, Stephen Colbert aired the first half of his interview with legendary author Maurice Sendak. As you can see, they ran the gamut of topics from penises to a Where the Wild Things Are sequel. Though, perhaps most striking were the writer's words about Newt Gingrich. The way he talks about the GOP candidate, you'd think they'd been married.
In any event, let the walls become the world all around, hop in your private boat and enjoy:
Don't miss part two on The Colbert Report tonight at 11:30/10:30c.
I believe the children are our future. So I guess the future is going to be filled with people on hoverboards throwing rocks at old people in wheelchairs.
JB Smoove hosts back-to-back episodes of Russell Simmons Presents The Ruckus tomorrow at 10/9c.
New York Times Magazine's 6th Floor blog recently featured a magazine preview piece on John Mulaney to help promote his upcoming Comedy Central stand-up special New in Town (and their "magazine," I suppose). It's surprisingly informative for an excerpt, offering peaks into John's SNL audition and some back story on the hilariously flamboyant New York City nightlife correspondent, Stefon, which may owe his existence in part to… Ben Affleck?:
"In 2008, Ben Affleck was hosting and we did a sketch with Affleck and Bill [Hader] as Stefon. Without saying who they were based on, they were two brothers who made action movies and one of them had undergone some changes. Affleck really liked it – I think he knew it was weird, but he was a real champion of it, which was nice."
I haven't had reason to thank Ben Affleck for anything since he did Gigli! Obviously he recognizes brilliant absurdist humor when he sees it, like a true artiste.
Watch some of John Mulaney's stand-up below to whet your whistle ahead of his one-hour special, which premieres Saturday at 10/9c.
