Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Columbia Pictures, Comedy, Celeb News, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Adam Sandler’s latest film, Grown Ups, marks yet another reunion (nearly paralleling the story itself) with SNL veterans David Spade, Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, and Rob Schneider. Oh, and for some reason, Salma Hayek signed up for this gig, too.
In the movie, Sandler meets up with his high school friends (Spade, Rock, Schneider, and Kevin James) during a July 4th weekend, where they discover some interesting things about their families (Schneider is married to an extreme cougar, James’s four year-old kid is still breast-fed). The comedy opens in theaters on July 25, 2010.

Zachary Quinto Finds Love in Hostage
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Short Films, Romance, Comedy, Celeb News,
WARNING: The following clip contains offensive and explicit language!
What does Zachary Quinto do when he’s not playing a murderous mutant on Heroes nor an iconic alien for Star Trek? Holds his soul mate at gun point, of course!
In this Funny or Die skit, Quinto returns to his comedic talents in Hostage: A Love Story, where he credits his
uncouth manners to having sisters (as he holds a gun to his date’s head over lunch). For realsies.
Family Guy Campaigns for the Emmy
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Award Shows, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Gossip, Video,
Family Guy’s Emmy clip, which dubs in new sound over footage from an episode, is already a classic. This is truly a great award campaign, though the animated comedy hardly lacks for accolades. Family Guy has been nominated in several different Emmy categories ten times, winning three.
The 2009 nomination marks the first time the series has been up for Outstanding Comedy Series, a significant achievement. The last animated series to receive the same recognition was The Flintstones.
The above video uses violence to make it’s case for why Family Guy should win, and I find it pretty effective.

Sons of Tucson Looking for Two New Sons
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, News, Video,
Do you have an 8-year-old son with a lot of “character”? He is known to be “impish” or “impulsive”?
How about a 13- to 15-year-old teen? Is your young man “energetic and upbeat”? Would you occasionally consider him “charming”?
If you can answer “Yes” to any of the questions above, we might just have a way to make them (and you) a little money. The execs are holding an open casting call for the new comedy Sons of Tucson. Although three boys scored roles in the pilot (you can see a clip above), the youngest and oldest actors are now being recast.

Little Fockers to explore death and divorce
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Universal, Sequels, Comedy, Upcoming Releases,
Little Fockers will examine themes of death and divorce. The third movie in the comic franchise - starring Ben Stiller and Teri Polo - will focus on more serious topics, but writer John Hamburg promises to deal with them in a “really comic way”. He told IGN: “We’re catching up with these characters five years later and Pam and Greg have twins so they are dealing with that. And people are dealing with where they’re at in their lives, and themes of death and divorce and all these real things that as we get older, we start to think about, but in a really comic way.”
John also promised that Owen Wilson’s character Kevin Rawley will have an expanded role in the new film.
Wanda Sykes roasts Obama, Bush, Cheney, and more
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Humor, Videos,
If you haven’t seen this one yet, be ready to laugh. Wanda Sykes kicked things off at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner last night with a comedy set that roasted Barack Obama, former President George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, and many others. Heck, she even took Rush Limbaugh to task for saying that the hopes Obama fails, which Sykes said was outright “treason.”
The event was attended by many politicians, as well as celebrities like Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Whoopi Goldberg, Tyra Banks, and more.
NBC Orders 6 New Shows
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip,
NBC has ordered a very ambitious lineup for the 2009-2010 fall season. The network is rounding out their programming with four brand-new dramas and two never-before-seen comedies.
Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are producing Parenthood, a series based on the film they did together decades ago. Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Craig T. Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia and Erika Christensen are among the cast. The drama/comedy will explore life with kids…if NBC viewers aren’t already getting enough of that as it is.
Trauma, one of NBC’s new medical dramas, focuses on first-response paramedics (and already sounds doomed). The series is set in San Francisco and stars Derek Luke, Cliff Curtis, Aimee Garcia and others.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Video,
UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s response to the episode here.
Hate being the only one who doesn’t get the joke? So does Kanye West.
On last night’s episode of South Park (which can be seen in its entirety here), the rapper is the only person in the country doesn’t understand the laugher Cartman and Jimmy created. (Q: “Do you like fishsticks?” A: “What are you - a gay fish?”)
Believing the joke is on him, an embarrassed West eventually resorts to murder before finally making peace with the marine life.
