A very, very bearded Stephen Colbert recently stepped back in front of the camera for a small interview with America magazine's Editor-at-Large Father James Martin to discuss Catholicism. It's the first time we've seen the once upon a time Colbert Report host since he ended his show, and we've got to say: we dig the new look. Colbert's appearance has been talked about for a little while, as he was first spotted out with the beard some time ago. But in this new video we remember just how much we really, really enjoy him, and even more so how much we want him back on television. So, come on, let's get the Late Show with Stephen Colbert up and running soon! Read More »
If there’s any solidification that Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein’s Portlandia is churning out it’s A-game, it’s the fact that Paul Simon has officially appeared. The singer-songwriter is guesting on the next episode, which airs this coming March 5 at 10 p.m. on IFC. In the below clip, Armisen and Brownstein star as annoying super fans Dave and Kath, both of whom have some serious (eh, that’s debatable) questions for Simon. Ones they’re hoping will totally take him by surprise… Read More »
Looks like not everyone was thrilled with Dakota Johnson's appearance on last night's Saturday Night Live. Not necessarily because of her actual performance, of course. We're actually speaking of a certain sketch that has now caused a Twitter outrage online. In a father-daughter commercial parody, SNL player Taran Killam played a father dropping off his daughter, who was played by host and 50 Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson, at the airport. The sketch mocks the very same Toyota car commercial in which a father brings his newly enlisted daughter to the airport. In this bit, however, the daughter does not head inside, and she's not in the army. Instead, she catches a ride from someone else––ISIS. Which, as you might guess, is where the outrage came. The sketch left many viewers feeling that the legendary NBC sketch show crossed the line. Read More »
We may have recently seen veteran comedian Jerry Seinfeld on Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary episode, where he performed in a hilarious segment alongside Seinfeld co-creator Larry David, but now we can rejoice because he’s dropped another Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Single Shot. In this newest video, Seinfeld and the likes of Ricky Gervais, Bill Burr, and more, discuss one thing and one thing only: Hitler. Read More »
Following word that President Barack Obama is trying to ease our relationship with Cuba, comedian Conan O’Brien chose to head on over there to film an episode of his TBS late night show CONAN. Apparently it wasn’t as easy as he was hoping, but after some time he did indeed get in. And after stopping by Howard Stern’s radio show to discuss the episode, O’Brien made another stop at Comedy Central’s The Daily Show to discuss his experience with Jon Stewart. Of course, it’s good the TBS host made a stop over now. You know, because Stewart will soon be leaving his coveted fake news desk. Read More »
Above Average's hit web series Sound Advice starring Saturday Night Live's very own Vanessa Bayer – which now has a home on IFC's Comedy Crib – has just dropped a new video with guest "Weird Al" Yankovic. The new episode comes just after SNL released their 40th anniversary special. And in this newest piece from Janessa Slater (Bayer's character), the comedian discusses the success of Yankovic's newest album Mandatory Fun as well as the shock that he had a Grammy nomination. The two also joked about the fact that he's not a "legit musician" because he's never been addicted to drugs or alcohol. Read More »
Did Conan O'Brien come out of the closet as gay on last night's episode of CONAN? Nope, not even close, but he did indeed share the screen with Billy on the Street star Billy Eichner in a hilarious bit that showed the TBS host joining the app Grindr, and believe it or not, getting a few responses under the moniker "Frecklef*cker" – or a variation of that. So, who wanted to get freaky with O'Brien? Well, one guy called "Looking to Suck" was hoping to, but it didn't quite work out for him. O'Brien's Grindr bit comes after his ever so successful Tinder remote with actor Dave Franco. Read More »
In a rare appearance, the entire cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Charlie Day, Danny DeVito, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson and Glenn Howerton – stopped by Conan O'Brien's CONAN set last night to discuss Season 10 of their FXX hit. If you watched the episode then you know it was incredibly disorganized (mainly due to DeVito) and undeniably hilarious. During their segment, the gang promised more episodes of their series, which will be Season 11 –– contrary to popular belief the series was ending after Season 10. They also discussed that awkward love scene between Day and Olson, who has been married to creator Rob McElhenney for quite some time, the controversial making of Lethal Weapon 6 and, of course, we can forget about DeVito's Frank Reynolds supercut...

Fans of Will Smith are gearing up the for ever so anticipated release of the rapper-turned-actor's upcoming film Focus, which stars the former Fresh Prince alongside The Wolf of Wall Street's Margot Robbie. And while the two make a near-perfect pair, or so it seems, it looks as if much of the film's comic relief comes from actor Adrian Martinez, who stars as Smith's righthand man, Farhad. As the lead's "pit bull," as he exclusively tells MStars News, Martinez's character is one who finds himself skeptical of Robbie as she enters the scene and sweeps Smith off of his feet. Read More »
Perhaps one of the best sketches of this past Sunday's Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary was Celebrity Jeopardy. Why? Well, because it gathered some of the most iconic celebs (both the performers and the impersonations) together again for one of our favorite SNL sketches of all time. And while Darryl Hammond delighted playing Sean Connery, as he usually does, and Norm MacDonald thrilled us all with his famed Burt Reynolds/Turd Ferguson impression ... it seems that there was supposed to be a little more star power in there. And yes, Kenan Thompson did a wonderful job as famed comedian/alleged rapist Bill Cosby, but it seems he wasn't the first choice to play the role of the good doctor. So, who was supposed to? One time SNL savior Eddie Murphy, who appeared in the NBC studio for the first time in about 30 years – which turned out to be a bit of a letdown. With Celebrity Jeopardy, however, apparently Murphy ultimately decided he did not want to play the Cosby Show star ... according to Norm MacDonald's Twitter account. Read More »
All we can say is it’s about time comedian Colin Quinn got his own series … just saying. The famed comic and former Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchor just dropped the premiere for his new web series Cop Show, which is now on L/Studio. The video came just after Quinn’s appearance on SNL’s legendary 40th anniversary show. And if that weren’t enough to grab your interest … how about if we told you Quinn’s friend and fellow comedian Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the episode? Well, he does… Read More »
