Blog Off Sign Off: Standup with Lewis Black

Well, I can’t think of a better way to end this Blog Off than with a little standup from Lewis Black. The comedian stopped by Late Night with Conan O’Brien on June 5 to promote his new book Me of Little Faith. But before he took to the couch, he treated the audience […]

Comedy Talk: Adam Sandler Messes with Jon Stewart

Really. The host of The Daily Show, decked out in a sharp suit as usual, was none too thrilled when comedian-actor Adam Sandler showed up wearing ratty shorts and an even rattier T-Shirt to promote his then-recent release You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. After what seems like ten minutes of rebuking and […]

Comedy Talk: Jack Black Hangs Out with Regis and Kelly

I know, I know — Kung Fu Panda opened a couple of weeks ago, but that doesn’t mean the interviews star Jack Black went on aren’t still entertaining.
That was definitely the case when he dropped by the New York City studio of Live with Regis and Kelly earlier this month, where he started the conversation […]

Get ‘Life’ Now

Earlier I wrote about the September release of the Season One DVD set for NBC’s underappreciated crime dramedy Life. What I didn’t realize at the time is that the show’s rookie season is already available online in its entirety, and thanks to NBC and Hulu, the video quality is excellent.
If you’ve never wathced the […]

Is ‘Get Smart’ A Smart Movie Choice?

If I wasn’t spending my entire day blogging for charity, I would be at a movie theater, or on my way to one, right about now to see Steve Carell in Get Smart. Since I’m stuck in front of my computer, though, I’ve had the chance to dawdle around at Metacritic to learn what […]

‘Psych’ Takes Over ‘Fear Itself’ Next Week

The June 19th episode of NBC’s new horror-suspense anthology Fear Itself was the best one thus far, largely thanks to the fantastic work of Eureka star Colin Ferguson. He was spot-on and so chilling when needed.
Next week, two more actors from a well-known dramedy will tackle the series when real-life couple James Roday and […]

Craig Ferguson Trumps Conan O’Brien Any Night [Guest Post by Jeffrey Cohen]

Anyone who’s not watching Craig Ferguson on the Late Late Show (CBS, 12:35 a.m., EDT) is missing out. You think just because you saw this guy on The Drew Carey Show for years you know him? Nonsense! A cranky Scottish man who invites us in by tapping on the camera every night and giving us […]

Ayda Field Cast in New Sitcom Pilot

Many are still lamenting Fox’s hasty decision to ax the rookie newsroom sitcom Back to You, which starred TV-comedy heavyweights Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton. The situation isn’t all that bad for another former cast member who, like Grammer, has already lined up another comedy series.
Ayda Field, better known to Back to You fans […]
