Great acting, Lutz! Sorry you're typecast as a hotel front desk person. Have you seen Sleepwalk with Me yet? Is it just 90 minutes of comedians watching other movies and resting their heads on each other's shoulders. If so, two tickets, please. If not, only one ticket, please.
Last night, Kristen Schaal slapped on a green-on-green, green-screen-ready jumpsuit to walk through the last 16 years of "_____ Moms." Mostly, it was an excuse for Schaal to play her best floating head and Stewart to laugh profusely at such. I'd vote for Schaal and her campaign partner, Bruce Willis's tank top from the 5th Element, any day, just for the access to legal …math.
Given that this webisode has maybe 90% of everyone's favorite things (30 Rock, Kristen Schaal, standup comedy, interpretive dance, dachshunds), it's safe to say that everyone will know Hazel Wassername's name within the year. "Who's that girl?" those unfortunate enough to be out of the loop will ask. "And what is she doing to my cardboard cutout of Phil Collins?" they'll continue. "Someone stop her! She's getting away!"
Ahhhh. This is like a soothing balm on the gaping midseason NBC wound that is the lack of Community. Kristen Schaal will join 30 Rock this season for a multi-episode arc. NBC is keeping her role a secret, but here are a few guesses as to her character's identity:
- An enchanting love interest for Kenneth (please please please)
- The cutthroat host of a children's puppet show that competes with TGS for network attention
- Liddy's zany kindergarten teacher on whom Jack develops a crush (I feel like this is actually a pretty realistic guess)
- A dark horse competitor for a potential Donaghy promotion into the [...]
Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler are returning to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with their show Hot Tub With Kurt and Kristen for the fourth time, and so too does Kristen's heart turn back to what could have been. "I did just find out I went on a date with Andrew Garfield, who is the new Spider-Man," Schaal says, referring to the show's now-defunct bit Win a date with Kristen Schaal. "He was in the crowd when we did it at the Soho theatre in London and he got randomly selected and then won through the tests and I went on a date with him. But I didn't realize [...]
Kristen Schaal is joining Anna Faris, Bill Hader, and Andy Samberg in adding her voice to Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers, the sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. She'll be playing an orangutan that sounds just like Louise from Bob's Burgers. If there ends up being a Bob's Burgers' Burger of the Day board in the C2: ROTL, it should read "Ball Meat Maybe (Comes with Leftover Meatballs)" or "The Child Molester (Comes with Candy)."
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.
This comedian pile-up of compliments is so lovely. Reading it feels like you're on a camping trip where after s'mores everyone takes turns saying what they like about everyone else and then you all feel super warm and fuzzy towards each other and your little community. Except in this case, it's like Kristen Schaal, Sarah Silverman, Tig Notaro, Maria Bamford, Joyelle Johnson, and Gina Yashere are all squished in around the campfire in their sleeping bags too. Best camping trip ever.
It's new show season! That special time of year when dozens of hopeful comedies are plucked from the minds of their creators like flowers, ready to be arranged in the elegant glass vase of the fall TV lineup – some to flourish, but many to quickly die (cancellation) or wilt (be pushed to midseason to make room for new X-Factor episodes). So let's celebrate them while we can! Can you guess which of the following new shows is real?
A) Janeane Garofalo stars as a cynical police officer whose life is turned upside-down when she's assigned a new partner, hippie bongo player Zac Efron, in Life On Our Beat.
[...]I, for one, would like to defend both the sending of (solicited) wiener photos, and the appearance of dicks in general, but even I have much to learn from Kristen Schaal's Daily Show piece on penis photos. Did you know that, with the invention of the penis lamp and the wiener telephone, dick pics have been the driving force behind most major technological advancements since the Industrial Revolution? Or before that even! Eli Whitney may have called it the wiener cotton gin; sadly, that information has been lost to us through time.
New York, comedy jungle where jokes are made of There's nothin' you can't do Now you're in New York These jokes will make you feel brand new Big jokes will inspire you Laugh hear it for New York, New York, New York
New York has a lot of great weekly comedy shows and thankfully BlackBook made it slightly easier to navigate by highlighting five of the very best. Besides the above video about Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler's Hot Tub, there are videos below covering John Gemberling and Anthony Atamanuik's Tony & Johnny Show, Max Silvestri and Gabe Liedman's Big Terrific, Joe Mande and Noah [...]
The SXSW comedy lineup is here, and incidentally, it's almost exactly the same as the invitation list for my dream wedding! (It's only missing Jughead from Archie Comics and Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn's characters from Wedding Crashers, because what's a dream wedding without crashers?) In addition to standup and improv galore, the schedule features live episodes of WTF, Comedy Bang Bang, Doug Loves Movies, You Made It Weird, and The Chris Gethard Show. As for the comedians themselves, there are almost too many great comics to name (for a start: Marc Maron, John Hodgman, Kristen Schaal, Mike Birbiglia, Amy Schumer, Eugene Mirman, TJ Miller, Reggie Watts, Kumail Nanjiani), [...]
It's Business Time! Bret McKenzie, post-Muppet -songwriting, said that he and Jemaine Clement are "going to try and do a movie." A Flight of the Conchords movie would be amazing, If You're Into It. And as long as You Don't Have to Be a Prostitute to go see it in theaters. Ooh, I hope they get Kristen Schaal to return as Mel (or some other Leggy Blonde), otherwise there might be Too Many Dicks (on the Dance Floor). Really, if it happens, this movie could be the Most Beautiful [Movie] (In the Room). Think About It. Foux Da Fa Fa.
In defense of Michele Bachmann's HPV vaccine statement, I personally got the HPV vaccine several years ago and I'd be lying if I said it didn't genetically alter me into a non-stop fuck train. Also, if you haven't guessed by now, it made me profoundly mental retarded. Even more depressing than cervical cancer or the state of the Republican party, however, is the fate of Kristen Schaal's pro-vag novelty line, which included bumper stickers, "I Have My Eye On Your Vagina" condoms and, saddest of all, a truckload of Big Mouth Billie Vaginas. "I have 10, 000 of them in my garage," she explains to a giggly Jon [...]
