From Sarah Silverman to Bill Burr to Janeane Garofolo to Hannibal Buress Anthony Jeselnik to Maria Bamford to John Mulaney to Marc Maron to Set List to Sam Simmons, you’ll be able to catch a lot of great stuff up at JFL 42 (Toronto) this September.
Tickets go on sale this Friday.
The latest episode of CC:Studios storytelling web series This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir has the hysterical Sean Patton recount the story of how he got assaulted by a gay basher even though he’s straight.
Trust us. You’re going to want to set aside a solid 12 minutes for the entire astounding story.
It’s your typical romantic comedy until some sci-fi twist is thrown into the line-up. Perhaps, this will be the genre that the entertainment industry will follow zombies/vampires/werwolves with.
With Brie and Hanks starring, this could be something to watch for.
Fans of Doug Stanhope are very much acquainted with Stanhope’s stance on Dr. Drew, especially in regards to his TV show, which is one of contempt. That’s why it’ll be interesting to hear Doug talk to Dr. Drew on his podcast very soon, especially considering that they come, according to a tease of that podcast episode, to an understanding of sorts.
The very funny Nick Turner, Barry Rothbart, Jason Saenz, and Henry Zebrowski make up brand spanking new sketch group Dr. Patient that just released their first sketch. If you’re a bro, through and through, and in need, you definitely won’t get the help of the A-Team, but you might just get some bro-help.
This is pretty damn funny, but also NSFW. Watch now.
Finally, the rest of the country will get to see what people in NYC having been raving about with Colin Quinn’s “Unconstitutional”. It’s starting up again in NYC, but will go on the road later this year.
Howard Stern made a stop by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to give Jimmy some cold hard truths about late night including to stop playing video games when he takes over The Tonight Show. Maybe he’ll follow Stern’s advice and usurp Kimmel as friend?

Guest comedian on this week’s episode, Faith Choyce, claims that she doesn’t have that big of a vocabulary and is subsequently tested by Jake andJeremy. It should be noted that Jake introduced the podcast by describing this moment as “…has not a big vocabulary,” which should indicate how valid Jake’s knowledge is when it comes to diction. Also, we try to figure out if Jeremy is truly the only black fan of Bjork.
FYI, the guys are still giving love to Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce even though they are not officially sponsored by Sweet Baby Ray’s or Food 4 Less.
Just in case you forgot, another beloved series raised from the dead is coming back to screens everywhere soon. New episodes of Futurama will start airing on Wed. Jun. 19th 10PM at Comedy Central.
So, you should probably set a reminder.
