In this new video, Eichner and the legendary comic take to the streets of New York City to see just what Letterman could do after his longtime run over at CBS ends before comedian Stephen Colbert steps into his late night program.

Sure, this might have been an April Fools’ hoax presented by the fine folks over at Funny or Die; but in truth… it’s a rather great idea. Creator Adam McKay recently took to the below video which unveils a new format of video sharing, one even bigger than Vine, called Dips. Rather than being able to share six-second videos, McKay notes that 1.5 seconds is the perfect amount of time to spark creativity. And to prove that, Funny or Die decided to get an A-list roster of celebs to help them out. And so, on this April Fools’ Day, the likes of Jon Hamm, Conan O’Brien, Will Ferrell, Tom Lennon, Vince Gilligan, and so many more, got together for the biggest prank … ever? Read More »

It's April Fools' Day. What that means is that throughout this entire 24-hour period most of us will be tiptoeing around certain stories, hearsays, rumors and more, just in case we find ourselves the unfortunate victim of an April Fools' Day hoax or prank. And while we all pretend to love the day, the truth is that sometimes its just plain annoying... and mean. Luckily, HBO's Last Week Tonight host John Oliver is prepared to take the faux-holiday down a peg. Read More »
It's happening folks! Despite delivering an oh, so awkward appearance on the famed Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special, Eddie Murphy is set to prove to the world that he is still one of the funniest guys around. Therefore, the comedian has signed on to host an episode of SNL sometime next month. Murphy was undoubtedly one of the guys who saved Saturday Night Live back in the 80s; he eventually (and quickly) blew up to become one of the most famous names to come out of the show. But as the years went on we started seeing less and less of him - perhaps as the movies became less and less enjoyable. Read More »
Michael Keaton is stepping once again to the Saturday Night Live stage this coming Saturday, April 4. It'll be Keaton's third time hosting the iconic sketch show, and he's doing so because of that little known film Birdman he did last year. You know, the one which one the Oscar for Best Picture. The film leaves many comedy fans excited for Keaton's return to SNL. And to celebrate (and get us all pumped), the show just dropped the promos... Accompanied by key player – and once-upon-a-time Weekend Update anchor Cecily Strong – Keaton hams up his Batman (not Birdman) fame and even partakes in some absurdist bits. Read More »

With all the news surrounding comedian Trevor Noah and the announcement that he'll be taking over for Daily Show host Jon Stewart once he leaves his coveted Comedy Central seat, it looks like the main thing people are asking is: Who is this guy? And, well, maybe it's okay that none of us are too aware of the South African comedian. While far from obscurity, perhaps it's not such a bad thing that the soon-to-be face of "The Best F#@king News Team Ever" isn't a household name... yet. Whenever a late night talk show host leaves their position it seems the Internet goes crazy thinking up preposterous lists that put together a group of people who "We Think Should Be..." the next host. Most of it happens within hours of the host's announcement, and most of them are absolutely ridiculous. For example, we've seen lists with the likes of Louis C.K. Amy Poehler, Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and so many more attached since Stewart's announcement. In fact, was reported that Comedy Central initially considered asking C.K., Poehler and Schumer to take over for The Daily Show. Read More »
If you’ve been keeping up with Will Forte’s FOX series The Last Man on Earth, then you know that his character Phil Miller recently shaved his beard once Mad Men’s January Jones hit the show.

The former Saturday Night Live player recently sat down with The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon to discuss his FOX show and the aforementioned facial hair. And just because he can, Forte sang an Ode to his Beard… Read More »
Believe it or not, sometimes even liberals are wrong. Don’t worry – if you don’t want to admit it, comedian Bill Maher did it for you this past Friday night on HBO’s Real Time. After Dolce and Gabbana released some rather flattering comments about gay adoption, in which they called children adopted by gay parents as “synthetic children, the world of liberals went ballistic. Which, of course, makes sense to some degree, as the fashion designers’ comments were rather uncaring – despite being gay men. But Maher’s argument here is why fight so much with someone who agrees with you on 95% of other issues. But even that wasn’t enough to please musician Elton John, who called for a boycott against the designers. And well, Maher had some comments about that. Read More »
Just like an 18-year-old boy, Jon Stewart claims Fox News is "j*rking" itself off. On last week's Daily Show, the comedian showed a clip of Fox correspondent Megyn Kelly noting several times the network got a story right. To that, Stewart congratulated them, saying that the truth is Fox did get a story right, and that is not only news but also a "cause for celebration." Read More »
