This week in comedy: Eric André gets his first Netflix special with “Legalize Everything”
June 22, 2020 Andrew Buss Television, This Week In Comedy
This week in comedy: After years as the host of The Eric André Show, as well as being known for his various pranks and stunts, it may surprise you to find out that Eric André has not yet had his own hour-long stand-up comedy special. But that is now about to change with Legalize Everything. With his first trailer ironically breaking down the recently cancelled show Cops, we are curious to see what else he has in store for us when it hits Netflix on Tuesday.
Also this week in comedy, Will Ferrell is going to Eurovision. This Friday, the new movie Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga hits Netflix. “When aspiring musicians Lars and Sigrit are given the opportunity of a lifetime to represent their country at the world’s biggest song competition,” the film’s official synopsis is described as, “they finally have a chance to prove that any dream worth having is a dream worth fighting for.”
Plus, Jordan Peele’s revival of The Twilight Zone is coming back to CBS All Access for another season. Similar to last season having comedians go serious such as Kumail Nanjiani, Tracy Morgan, Adam Scott, Ike Barinholtz, and Seth Rogen, we are going to get some more of the same. Some of the famous comedic voices gracing this season include Tony Hale, Joel McHale, Thomas Lennon, Paul F. Tompkins, and Damon Wayans Jr.
And Irresistible, the new comedy from Jon Stewart and starring Steve Carell, comes to VOD. According to the film’s synopsis, it follows “A Democratic political consultant helps a retired Marine colonel run for mayor in a small Wisconsin town.” Irresistible can be found on VOD on Friday.
