Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. Here, the group looked back at a niche favorite made as a part of their monthly Rules Show.
Caleb: I was looking through our YouTube channel about a year ago and realized that this one video that we had made, I think we watched it once had over a million hits out of nowhere. It is Blind Date.
Raphael: Oh, that's a sketch that came out of our [...]
Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. Here, the group looked back at a couple videos of their favorite videos that played with format.
Joel: One I really like that, uh, is the O'Doul's rap because my sister-in-law is pregnant and she's been drinking O'Doul's and she hates it. [Laughs] But what can she do? And I showed her the O'Doul's rap and she loved it. It made her day. She showed it to [...]
Here's the latest video from sketch comedy duo BriTANicK, their first new video in nearly six months because they're super busy with other stuff. The video has racked up over a million hits in less than a day, which due to it being called "Sexy Pool Party" and partly due to it being a super funny video.
Following the immense success of Key & Peele, Comedy Central is betting big on sketch shows this season. With The Ben Show and Inside Amy Schumer still to air this winter, the network this week launched a high-profile new show, Kroll Show, fronted by one of the most recognized and beloved names in comedy. Nick Kroll's characters are a mainstay of Comedy Bang! Bang!, while his dry wit is on display as Ruxin on FX's The League. I caught up with Kroll recently to discuss reality TV, character work, and the perks of having your own sketch show.
Why did you decide at this point in your career to [...]
Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. Here, the group looked back at one of their biggest viral hits.
Ben: I think playing around with format was always the defining characteristic of our group. That's what we were most interested in, was experimenting with new ways to make comedy. So in 2006, there was a really popular video called "Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years". And I got [...]
Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. Here, the group looked back at an early video, which they made for their live show at Bard College.
Joel: I'm gonna throw another old one out. One of my favorites is a sketch called Boxcar. And the reason I love it is because I think it showcases some really great performances. We wrote a script and everything but it was sort of open-form, so [...]
Amy Schumer's new Comedy Central show Inside Amy Schumer is set to debut on April 30th, and Comedy Central has released these two sketches in advance of the show's premiere. Inside Amy Schumer is a mix of sketch, stand-up, and man on the street segments, and it also features Jon Glaser in tight-fitting outfits.

Nick Swardson announced via Facebook that his Comedy Central sketch show, Nick Swardson's Pretend Time, will end after its second season. Despite good ratings, he says the show was "too expensive for the network and tough creatively." Not that this is the end for Swardson, who's "developing a new show where I play a ninja." The future cannot come quickly enough.
With Bill Hader poised to leave Saturday Night Live after tomorrow's season finale, don't expect him to try to turn his most popular character from the show into a movie. Hader tells GQ, "There's no emotional through line. Sometimes people say to me 'I want a Stefon movie' and I'm like, you think you want a Stefon movie but then you'll see the poster for it and think, 'Wait, I don't want this.'" If only Bill Hader had been on the show during the '90s, when all of SNL's most popular characters got turned into movies, then he probably could have been pressured into making a Stefon movie and satisfying you [...]
Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. First off, the group looked back at one of it's earliest videos, made while all the members were students at Bard College.
Raphael: I would like to talk about an old one first. This one is old, but I think it holds up in a fun way and I think it says a lot about the group.
Michael Patrick O'Brien is well into his fourth season as a writer for Saturday Night Live, a job he landed after spending years honing his comedy skills at Chicago's iO and Second City theaters. In addition to SNL and working on an upcoming sketch comedy album, O'Brien also hosts the popular web series "7 Minutes in Heaven," where he does bits and locks lips (or awkwardly tries to, at least) with stars such as Ellen Degeneres, Tina Fey, and the Insane Clown Posse. We had a chance to catch up with him about this season of SNL, specifically his appearance in the recent "Five Timers Club" sketch and [...]
While CBC was The Kids in the Hall's Canadian home for their full five season run, the first three seasons aired on HBO in the United States before moving to CBS for the fourth and fifth seasons. When the DVD sets of the show were compiled, the logical choice was to use the full HBO versions for the first three seasons, as they sometimes ran several minutes longer than the CBC cuts that were rigidly timed to twenty-three and a half minutes to accommodate commercials. The Canadian cuts would be used for season 4 and 5, as CBC’s broadcast standards were still more lax than American network TV.
