    Kristen Wiig promos for Saturday Night Live are here, and it feels good

    Kristen Wiig is set to host Saturday Night Live this weekend and the anticipation couldn’t be higher. First, she’s one of the greatest players the show has produced in its 38 seasons on the air. Second, it’s her first time hosting the show. Third, nearly every time a former cast member has hosted the show recently, it’s provided for some great and memorable nights, (see Amy Poehler, Dana Carvey, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, and Jimmy Fallon returns. Don’t see Will Ferrell’s most recent.) So strap yourselves in and watch Fred Armisen and Wiig rekindle the magic.

    Kyle Kinane’s ‘Going Nowehere’ pilot is one of the funnest things you’ll watch this week

    I’m really bummed to learn that Kyle Kinane’s pilot didn’t end up anywhere. Why? Because Kinane’s, Going Nowhere is a hilarious look at the human condition and one of the funniest videos I’ve watched in a long time. It reminds me a bit of when Insomniac with Dave Attell was still on the air mixed with some ridiculousness work of Dirty Jobs plus uncle BBQ hosting the entire thing and its a show I would’ve easily watched every episode of. The basic premise is this, Kinane travels around and links up with people in different locations across the U.S. to learn about some insane things they are into. Read the rest of this entry

Let’s watch Galifianakis’ promos for this weekend’s affair. Let’s watch some goofabouts.

So we’ll be seeing a lot of her this week as she makes the rounds to promote her new sketch comedy show, which looks hilarious and judging by the first episode the network put out for streaming online, we’re correct.

Even more interesting is “Sleep Gym.” Someone show me the sign up sheet for that place because I’m going to fill that thing out hard!
