You'd think that after spending so much time on the air, David Letterman would have a say in who replaces him on his legendary Late Show series. Hell, you'd think he'd be able to choose his successor. Well, apparently that doesn't seem to be the case, because it's being reported that he was never really consulted on who would be his replacement. Which has us wondering: Does David Letterman disapprove of Stephen Colbert as his Late Show successor? Read More »
A while back, MStars News reported that there were some struggles in the whole Seinfeld-Netflix deal. But finally, it seems they've reached an agreement... with Hulu. Yes, word has it that Seinfeld is going to Hulu for roughly $700,000 an episode. You read that correctly –– $700k per episode. So, it would seem certain to say that creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are about to get much, much wealthier. Which is good because we hear they are struggling (cue the eye roll). Anyway, many people speculated that the famed NBC comedy would be going to Netflix, largely because that streaming service purchased Friends for $500k. And while things were going somewhat smoothly, things took a turn when Netflix offered money for a five-year contract. Read More »
Jon Stewart had some things to say about CNN coverage about the recent Baltimore riots as a result of the murder of Freddie Gray. Or, perhaps it’s best to say that he had some things to say as a result of CNN’s lack of coverage. Protests are currently raging through the city, making it look all too much like a war zone, and Stewart’s kin over at the Daily Show couldn’t help but notice that CNN decided to cover the White House Correspondents Dinner much, much more than the Baltimore riots.

The 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner was held this past Saturday night, April 25, with host Cecily Strong. The Saturday Night Live star took the to podium after President Barack Obama delivered his usual hilarious speech. Of course, this year is a bit different considering he'll soon be out of the presidential seat. Regardless, Strong took to her gig as the host of the Correspondents Dinner with nothing but crafty jokes directed at the very individuals in the room. And of course, she tackled some serious subjects such as Hillary Clinton, ISIS and the surge in police brutality. Read More »
Comedian Dave Chappelle had one hell of a tough night during his stand up set a few nights ago at the Fillmore Detroit. It's being reported that the famed Chappelle's Show star angered the heck out of fans when he was giving a subpar performance, because, well, he was drunk. Allegedly, that is. Though... it seems pretty certain that he was. Now, because of his "performance," those in attendence want their money back. According to reports from TMZ, Chappelle angered the crowd at this past Thursday's 9:30 p.m. show. The site notes that the Half Baked star was "wasted" as he took to the stage an hour late. They claim, however, he was late due to the fact that the crowded hadn't finished sitting until an hour late. Read More »

The country is slowly ... slowly ... slowly ... slowly legalizing the use of marijuana. As states like Washington and Colorado have already done it (and seen an enormous boost in revenue), there are other states in our great nation trying to do the same. The unfortunate downside of marijuana being legal in states is that it is still illegal in the country. What that means is that the federal government still has control over the state marijuana laws. Which leads to marijuana busts and a whole heap of a mess. But if California Republican Dana Rohrabacher has his way a new bill proposed, it looks like the Feds will soon have to respect those marijuana laws that states enforce. Read More »
