The creator of NBC's troubled sitcom Up All Night, Emily Spivey, has just left the show in the midst of a massive creative revamp by the network, according to The Hollywood Reporter. THR doesn't give a reason for Spivey's departure, but it comes during a turbulent season full of network retooling for Up All Night, which stars Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, and Maya Rudolph. In October, NBC put the series on a three-month hiatus in order to convert it from a single-camera to a multi-camera show with a live audience – a rare, almost unprecedented move for a sitcom to make midway through its run. On top [...]
We don't usually report on things like this but this is a bit too heavy to ignore. Last night, it was announced that Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are separating after nine years of marriage and about 12 years of generally being together. If this is the first you're hearing of this, I am very sorry to bring you this news. I am sorry. All ended marriages are sad in a way; however, this is particularly so as these guys are the best people and were the best as a thing. A source told Us Weekly that the whole thing is "very amicable." UGH! Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, [...]
Remember when Will Arnett played the MRI giver dude on Parks & Recreation and you thought, "He and Andy should totally voice characters in a Lego movie together?" No? Just me? Well, it's happening! Chris Pratt is set to voice the lead, Dan Lego (ok, that probably won't be the characters name), in Lego: The Piece of Resistance. (Whoever thought of that name should be promoted to Head of Movies.) Arnett will provide the voice to Lego Batman, which is a real part in this movie and the part he was born to play. This ridiculous half live-action and half Lego-based animated film will be released on February [...]
Here's the full trailer for Mansome, which we showed you a clip from last Friday. In case you missed it, Mansome is a new documentary from Morgan Spurlock, Will Arnett and Jason Bateman and it's all about being a dude and, more specifically, male grooming. It looks fun! It's certainly got a great mix of dudes talking about beards and moustaches — I've always wondered what Paul Rudd's sassy take on Aqua Velva is! Look for it to hit theaters next month.
After a string of holiday episodes that saw the action on Up All Night shifting to the domestic front – thanks largely to Ava’s relationship with Kevin (Jason Lee) taking center stage – the latest episode of the show returned to the workplace/domestic split that’s been the norm on Up All Night in an installment that didn’t feature Jason Lee’s character. “Rivals” did a much better job than most Up All Night episodes that have tried to tackle both Reagan’s home and work lives, offering up two very funny plotlines that were equally engaging.
Reagan’s work crisis this week begins when Shayna (Megan Mullally), the Southern host of Ava’s rival [...]
NBC is continuing to make some changes to its ratings-challenged Thursday night sitcom Up All Night. Deadline reports the network has ordered three more episodes of the second season, extended it from 13 to 16 episodes, and the final five will be filmed multi-camera with a live studio audience. The cast and crew are currently filming episode 11, but after it wraps next week, they'll take a three-month production hiatus to equip the stage and set for multi-camera filming and a live audience.
All of the single camera episodes will finish airing in December, when the show will take a hiatus until April/May when the rejiggered show [...]

After six years of teasing us with talk of an Arrested Development reunion, Mitch Hurwitz and Company are finally filming the new season and the movie. While the process took so long that even the cast, at times, developed an “I’ll believe it when I see it” attitude towards the project, filming of the new season of AD is finally underway and there are photos to prove it.
The 2012 NHL Awards were last night. I know what you're thinking: "Oh no, I missed the 2012 NHL Awards and the 2011 NHL Awards and the 2010 NHL Awards and the 2009, 2008, 2007— Wait, how old are the NHL awards? What is the NHL? Hock-what? Hock-ey? Is that one where they hit a flat ball with a stick? Puck? Puck you, buddy." As you can see above, Tracy Morgan does a great job pretending to know what hockey is and doing his Tracy Morgan thing. Below watch all the clips of Will Arnett impersonating Brendan Shanahan. Who's Brendan Shanahan? No idea but it's funny to watch Will [...]
There are times that call for gussying up the story with some big fancy headline – this is not one of those times. I have zero doubt that everyone who reads that headline will want to watch the video. The clip is from Morgan Spurlock's upcoming documentaryMadsome, which examines masculinity in a time of "manscaping, metrosexuals, and grooming products galore." Storied beard growers Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis also make appearances. Why Spurlock didn't just have 90 minutes of Nick Offerman looking at the camera while a narrator read male waxing statistics, is beyond me.
The freshman NBC sitcom Up All Night rang in a new year and a new timeslot last night, replacing Whitney in the spot right after NBC’s current highest-rated comedy, The Office. It’s a big move for the show and one that should put a lot more eyes on it. A position in NBC’s Thursday night comedy block is just what Up All Night needs as the show continues to discover and utilize its strengths in what’s been, so far, a successful first season.
Appearing on Conan last night, Will Arnett slyly revealed two guest stars from the upcoming season of Arrested Development: the man to his right (Andy Richter) and the man to his left (Conan O'Brien). Arnett starts coyly, by hinting, "I don't want this to be too much of a spoiler alert, but let me put it this way: There are a few people on this stage tonight who are a part of it" before flat-out saying the people he's referring to are himself, Conan, and Andy. It's probably safe to assume that Conan and Andy will be playing themselves, but Arnett stops his spoiler alert right there, so [...]
Amy Poehler's Smart Girls At The Party web series has given birth to a whole fancy YouTube channel with multiple shows and such. Boys Minute is one of those shows. It airs every other Wednesday and in it, Will Arnett does boy stuff while doing other boy stuff, like boys often do. For example, I am a boy and while writing this I am also currently throwing a football (to Will Arnett? Oooo, maybe!). [Via]
Over the past two decades, Amy Poehler has amassed one of the most impressive resumes in comedy history. Not only did she play a significant part in America’s largest comedy institution, Saturday Night Live, she also co-founded the UCB, a venerable comedy institution in its own right and one that grows in influence every year. If those were Amy Poehler’s only accomplishments, it’d still be pretty damned impressive, but, for the past three years, she’s produced and starred in Parks and Rec, arguably the best sitcom on TV. Throw on top of that recurring roles on Arrested Development and Late Night with Conan (before it was a hit) and [...]
Will Arnett dropped by the Today Show earlier this week, wearing an arrestingly sharp white suit, to discuss Up All Night’s finale or something. Al “The Internet’s Spokemen” Roker smartly interrupted to ask the question we all wanted to hear answered: “What about Arrested Development? Is there going to be a movie?” To which Arnett responded, "We're about to start making the Arrested Development miniseries and then right into the movie this summer." There it is. I liked that he called it a mini-series, like AD was Mildred Pierce but with more callbacks and very cutoff jean shorts. Watch the clip above to hear the news directly from Gob’s mouth [...]
