Key & Peele is easily one of the best shows on Comedy Central right now. And recently, the comedy duo unveiled a series of sketches that (sort of) mock Cosmos host Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Sarah Palin is pretty much a walking headline. Whatever she says tends to lend itself to either a very funny or a very controversial headline––or both.

The new Starz series Blunt Talk has quickly become a favorite amongst viewers and critics. This could be due to a number of things: the ensemble cast, the wonderful writing, the stellar acting, the names Jonathan Ames, Seth MacFarlane and Sir Patrick Stewart––take your pick.
