TV Tonight: Michael and Michael Have Issues
In Comedy Central's Michael and Michael Have Issues, we have another show-within-a-show, a la 30 Rock. This one stars former members of The State (and a bunch of other stuff like Stella and Wet Hot American Summer), Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter, as the hosts of their own fictitious sketch show. We'll go "behind-the-scenes" and learn all about the issues that "the two misguided stars wrestle with as they confront their own issues of insecurity and jealousy as each attempts to undermine the other."
Paul Rudd Dances For Jon Stewart
I'm not sure how I missed this, but better late than never! Even dressed like a putz and dancing like a goof, Paul Rudd is ridiculously charming and sexy. And Jon Stewart seems to have a total bromantic crush on him.
Flashback: Jan Terri, Video Vanguard
Meet Jan Terri, Gemini and all-around amazing performer. Jan has many interesting traits, aside from her ability to groove and lipsynch like her life depends on it. For example, she thinks blue-eyed blondes are rare, and she has a quirky take on the notion of opposites.
Jon Stewart on Biden, Star Wars, and Obama's STFU Face
Oh, man. President Obama had better remind Joe Biden that he's vice president now and not doing corny stand-up at Caroline's Comedy Club. Last week while swearing in the senior staff members, VP Biden made a joke about his memory not being as good as Chief Justice John Robert’s.
Road to the Doghouse: The Puppedential Debate
President-elect Barack Obama has almost completely finished picking his cabinet members. But a very crucial spot remains open: the presidential pup. So that's why CNN's Anderson Cooper went to DePauw De Paw University for the Puppedential Debates, where Princess, Rags, and Mr. Skittles duked it out for this coveted spot.
Stephen Colbert Spoofs Bill O'Reilly's Temper Tantrum
Stephen Colbert, in his persona as the newscaster resembling Bill O'Reilly, defends his idol and the infamous Bill O'Reilly temper tantrum by showing a similar freakout he had back in the day. This is long-ish, so if you just want to see the Colbert tantrum, go to 3:08. Love the polyester suit and porn 'stache!
TV Tonight: Indecision 2008, Live
Throughout this crazy election season, whenever I've needed a quick pick-me-up or a laugh at the day's wacky events, I've turned first to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. So it's only fitting that the two of them will be a big part of today's election TV coverage, with a live Indecision 2008: America's Choice special airing at 10 p.m. EST, 7 p.m.
TV Tonight: The Sarah Silverman Program
Sarah Silverman is back and ready to do really gross stuff on your TV in the second season of Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program. Clearly, Silverman is an acquired taste (although I think she expanded her reach a bit with the success of her duet with Matt Damon), and the preview clips for this next season reveal she doesn't really care.
For me, watching Sarah Silverman causes a range of reactions: side-splitting laughter, gasping, a lot of looking away and screaming, "ew!," etc.
TV Tonight: Roasting Bob Saget
What do you get when a raunchy, dirty, frequently inappropriate TV event meets one of the raunchiest, dirtiest, most inappropriate comedians of a generation? Awesomeness — and a stomach that aches with pain from too much laughter. And that's why I'm not-so-secretly looking forward to tonight's roast of Bob Saget on Comedy Central.
Would You Watch an Updated Gong Show?
There's news from Comedy Central this morning that the network plans to revive the '70s hit The Gong Show. The original, hosted by TV personality (and possible CIA hitman) Chuck Baris, featured amateur performers showing off their talents — singing, dancing, fire-eating, juggling — for a panel of celebrity judges. Good acts got to complete their performances, but the bad ones got the gong.
