Two Days in Portlandia: A Photo Recap

by | December 20th, 2012

If it weren't for Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, the rest of America might never have known about freestyle canoers, artisanal lightbulb shop owners, angry bicycle rights activists, and all the other things that make Portlandia so post-hip hilarious. No matter where you live, there's most likely a Portlandia sketch that nails a side of you and your neighbors like no other show, whether it's arrogance, a need to fit in, or a perceived hate for any kind of urban subculture, from feminists to locavores to dumpster divers. I'm a big fan, but I'm from Harrisburg — I'd never traveled further west than [...]

Lots of personnel changes at The Daily Show for 2011. First, executive producer Josh Lieb is heading to LA to work on a workplace comedy script for NBC and Warner Bros. TV.

Congrats to all, and keep up the good work!

Look at the Cast of 'Hangover 3' Film 'Hangover 3'

by | September 13th, 2012

So it begins. This picture and the ones below are from the set of Hangover III, if you couldn’t tell. It was mentioned before that the final chapter in the trilogy would be a big departure from the nearly identical first two films, and I guess that means it's a rom-com in which Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms just go on pleasant double dates. Even Stu's face tattoo is gone because you can't have a face tattoo in a romantic comedy. (Excluding, When Harry Met Sally…They Went to Get Face Tattoos, of course.) Though, as you can see below, Zach is wearing jorts, so all bets are off. [...]

Conan O'Brien's Daily Schedule, in Pictures

by | January 4th, 2012

It has never been this easy to stalk Conan O'Brien. I'd imagine. Just a guess, not personal experience. But if I WERE trying to sneak into his dressing room to smell the armpits of his leather jacket – for example – I could use this handy behind-the-scenes slideshow to figure out when he's out at meetings, and when it would be safe to slip into the dressing room and lick all the pieces of cut fruit on a platter. Or, other normal things. I have to go print these photos out and tape them to my wall with elaborate annotations and red yarn connecting them now bye.

Peeking Under the Bun of Bob's Burgers

by | March 9th, 2012

Caution: after watching this video of the Bob's Burgers cast recording their voice overs, you may never look at Bob Belcher without seeing H. Jon Benjamin in blue eyeshadow. Conversely, every time I try to look at Kristen Schaal in this video I see phantom pink bunny ears. And sometimes I just see them floating in the air. Waving at me. Excuse me, I have some business to attend to on WebMD.
