http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/johnny-depp-lining-up-for-guest-spot-in-ricky-gervais-series-lifes-too-short/ Obviously Johnny Depp didn’t take Ricky Gervais ribbing him at the Golden Globes about his one-note performance in The Tourist to heart. He is trying to work out his schedule so he can...

Why not make a Seth Morris thread? He's one of my favorite improvisers after all, and my opinion is what matters. Mainly I want to talk about the fact that I just saw him (well, his helmeted head) on a health insurance commercial. I've never seen this before. Happy for him though.

Release Date: March 16, 2012 Studio: Columbia Pictures (Sony) Director: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller Screenwriter: Michael Bacall Starring: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Brie Larson, Rob Riggle, DeRay Davis, Dave Franco, Jake Johnson, Johnny Simmons, Johnny Pemberton, Dakota...

I think all of the other Earwolf shows have their own threads here, so we might as well start one for this show too. The Apple Sisters are Candy Apple (Rebekka Johnson), Cora Apple (Kimmy Gatewood), and Seedy Apple (Sarah Lowe). They are a comedy/musical act parodying the Andrews Sisters and other...

Did I just dream that there was already a Bugle thread? I searched and searched but couldn't find one. Anyway... http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/12/16/comedy-podcast-the-bugle-_n_1153108.html

Usually Brasky or somebody starts this thread, but I'M STARTING IT THIS YEAR!

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/showestnews.php?id=64416 With Todd Phillips' R-Rated Vegas comedy The Hangover being such a huge hit for Warner Bros., as well as how much of that success could be traced back to its debut at ShoWest in Vegas last year, it made perfect sense Warner Bros. would want...

Ok, so this should probably go in the Los Angeles Shows forum...but I think its AST: Comedy forum worthy. Strangely, I found a list of the lineup on the World Dodgeball Society's facebook page. They are apparently helping in putting together the show. Cool? The show is 7:00 p.m. on December...

Hello - My name is Chris Gethard and for the past two years I've been running a show called "The Chris Gethard Show" at the UCB Theater in New York City. As part of that show we've done some pretty cool stuff. We used Twitter to convince Diddy to be a guest on our show. We flew a sad 19 year old...

I'll kick it off by repeating what I posted in that other thread: Very happy to have the Bear Down podcast back. I don't know why I like listening to this so much... maybe it's the regular mentions of random burrito places in town. (also... if you are a fan of Ian Robert's Leonard, he makes...

I didn't see any talk of BBC radio shows in the British comedy thread, but I may have missed it since I only post sporadically. Even though I do not lack for audio comedy, maybe people are up on the good stuff. Boosh and Blue Jam are amazing, as is Christopher Morris stuff in general. I like...

Paramount Pictures announced today that Sacha Baron Cohen's new comedy The Dictator will be released worldwide on May 11, 2012. The studio also announced that Larry Charles (Borat, Bruno) has come aboard to direct. The film tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that...

I have Louis CK's Beacon video downloading right now and I wondered if there are any other comics apart from Louis and Doug Benson who write, record and release completely fresh sets each year. I know Louis says he was inspired by Carlin, but Carlin only did the yearly thing for four years in the...

From Deadline: HBO has picked up Veep, a D.C.-set comedy pilot about a female Vice President of the U.S. from British comedian, writer and director Armando Iannucci. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is in talks for the lead in the project, set "very near the White House" and centered on former Senator Selina...

I know Comedy Central's press release had this show as being "in development", but this article from The British Comedy Guide seems to indicate it has a pretty good chance of making it onto the air: http://www.comedy.co.uk/news/story/00000701/armando_iannucci_time_trumpet_us_adaptation/ For...

Now that seemingly everyone in the world that I like is involved with this movie, it's time for its own thread. Production Weekly says that "Eric Stonestreet, John Krasinski & Ed Helms may be in Lady Gaga's entourage" in the film and that it will also feature Jack Black, Donald Glover, Jane...

Where has this podcast gone? They hardly ever make new episodes!

Please enjoy and share! (sorry, not for young kids! I had to do this in secret lest my children demand to watch it!) <iframe src="http://www.funnyordie.com/embed/32765df5fc" width="640" height="533" frameborder="0"></iframe><div...

I debated whether this was worth its own thread, but there's enough funny people involved that I guess it is. FX is joining "The League," ordering a semiscripted comedy pilot from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" executive producer/director Jeff Schaffer. The project, which Schaffer co-created with his...

There's no general Funny Or Die thread, is there? I'm going to start one, cause we do some decent stuff sometimes, right? Check out this mostly-stars video, with Will Ferrell, Will Forte, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, Jon Daly, Brett Gelman, Ryan Perez, and me (not a star, hence the qualification)....

This show doesn't start until September 20th, but I saw that my cable system's Prime Time On Demand channel had the pilot available for viewing, so I watched it and I enjoyed it. The pilot does a good job of setting up the premise of the show and the characters. The only problem is that Damon...
