South Park Sued for Copying YouTube Video
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Video,
Many South Park fans remember the 2008 “Canada on Strike” episode, which celebrated/parodied some of the Internet’s biggest YouTube sensations. The “Chocolate Rain” guy, dramatic gopher and "Star Wars kid" were all portrayed in the episode … but none of them are the one who’s suing the show.
South Park, cable network Comedy Central and parent company Viacom are being collectively sued for copyright infringement of the YouTube hit “What What (in the Butt).” The video, which has scored over 33 million views, was re-made on Park, with Butters playing the role of YouTube singer Samwell. The video above shows a comparison of the two videos, highlighting the similarities.

Criss will become a series regular, appearing throughout the rest of the second season before becoming a cast member in Season 3. Criss plays prep school student Blaine and Kurt’s (Chris Colfer’s) suspected love interest.
The “Teenage Dream” number performed by Criss as part of the Dalton Academy Warblers scored more than 55,000 downloads the first day it debuted on iTunes.

The Daily Show's news team was clearly passionately moved by the outpouring of support for the gay community, which has been presented in the form of It Gets Better videos.
The US military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is a hot topic among legislators right now, and teen suicides of homosexual youths are a rising concern. Many celebrities and politicians have stepped forward to make messages of support for gays of all ages. Comedy Central's contribution? This "It Gets Worse" video aimed at Senator John McCain -- yes, the one who was almost our president.
The "It Gets Worse" video is classic Daily Show, and very tongue-in-cheek. Check it out above!

VIDEO: Chord Overstreet Talks Glee and Getting Naked
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip, Video,
The press caught up to Glee’s Chord Overstreet during a Lotus Cars event held over the weekend, and he offered up a few tidbits on working with gorgeous gals like Gwyneth Paltrow and Dianna Agron -- and why he won’t pose for Playgirl.
Overstreet was reportedly offered $100,000 to strip for the women’s mag, but turned it down. In the video above, he explains that he doesn’t really feel comfortable posing for such adult materials. “I’m not one to flash my business,” he explained.

VIDEO: SNL’s Jason Sudeikis as George W. Bush
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Kanye West and former President George W. Bush (played by Jay Pharoah and Jason Sudeikis, respectively) stopped by SNL’s Weekend Update desk on Saturday to talk about their newfound friendship. The skit was inspired by the real Kanye West’s decision last week to apologize to Bush for suggesting he is racist.
Sudeikis performed ably as Bush, but he’s no Will Ferrell. Pharoah’s Kanye West was pretty good, but it was begging for an auto-tune moment. The skit was one of the more enjoyable of the episode, which starred Scarlett Johansson in the hosting position.

Hey NBC, Why No New Parks and Rec?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip, Video,
Park and Recreation, truly one of TV’s most under-appreciated shows, still hasn’t returned from its Season 2 cliffhanger and we’re dying to see how Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope is going to handle another year at the Parks Department.
So…how much longer do we have to wait, already?
According to those in the know, Season 3 should be on NBC “in January or February,” though the network is keeping mum on a definite date. As November drags on, it’s becoming clearer that we’re going to have to keep waiting for more of Aziz Ansari’s fantastic one-on-ones with the camera.
The cast and crew of Parks originally expected to return to air in September, which put a huge strain on the show’s leading lady Amy Poehler (who became pregnant with her and Will Arnett’s second child). Currently, they are shooting the 12th or 13th episode of the season, though they have no idea when any of them will be put on the air.
