Following yesterday’s horrific news in Paris, France – where 12 people were murdered because a satirical newspapers made a number of jokes that offended a particular group – many in the comedy world could not help but feel somewhat uneasy. Not just because of the terrible loss of life for those overseas but also because it somewhat hits home for them. With that, CONAN host Conan O’Brien took a quick minute during last night’s episode with Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and Pitch Perfect 2 star Elizabeth Banks and actor Vinnie Jones, to discuss what’s now being coined as the “Charlie Hebdo Tragedy.” Read More »

It looks like Seinfeld-a-holics may be getting into the medical profession, because it’s being reported that a class at New Jersey’s Rutgers University allows medical students to watch the famed NBC comedy from Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David in order to learn about psychiatry. Who knew that for nine brilliant season not only were we getting some of the best comedy that television has ever offered, but we were also getting a Ph. D in psychiatry. Wonder if this will come up on next season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee? Since the famed comic just ended his Season 5 (with guest star Jimmy Fallon) it seems we’ll have to wait and see!

Following those possible dating rumors with famed chef Giada de Laurentiis, it looks like John Mayer very well could be getting back to what he’s known for doing … making some music! The former beau of Katy Perry recently posted the below photo to Instagram, making us all think he could be hinting at a new album. The musician’s last record was 2013’s Paradise Valley, which head singles such as “Wildfire” and “Who You Love” – the latter of which he did with former girlfriend Perry. Read More »
If you managed to stick it out through the entire two-hour premiere of Season 14 of NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice, then you undoubtedly know that project manager Keshia Knight Pulliam found herself in the boardroom, mainly because she refused to call noted comedian Bill Cosby for some serious money in order to win her task. Well, during her grilling-session, in which Trump and his cronies questioned her, asking why she didn’t phone the former Cosby Show lead, Pulliam (who played Rudy Huxtable on the show) claimed she hadn’t spoken to the man in years – therefore, just didn’t. Naturally, the conversation left many to wonder why the two were discussing Cosby during the premiere … especially with the whirlwind of rape allegations being pinned on the comedian. Now, Trump is taking to his Twitter account to explain (and defend) the situation. Read More »
With the retirement of David Letterman rapidly approaching and former Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert taking his place, people suddenly realized that CONAN host Conan O’Brien is now the elder of the late night crew. Since newcomer Seth Meyers has taken over the Late Night spot, Jimmy Fallon has dominated and changed The Tonight Show (for the better) and Craig Ferguson now finished, that leaves O’Brien to keep the late night we’ve grown to love over the years going. Some might even say he’s not the “old man” of late night… Read More »
It looks like New Year’s Eve wasn’t all celebrations, confetti and ball dropping. While co-hosting the New York City New Year’s ceremony with comedian Kathy Griffin, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 host took some time to drop something of his own – like a serious slam on former CNN Piers Morgan Live host, Piers Morgan.

It seems that Katy Perry did one of the dumbest things one human could imagine. She rode the New York City subway on New Years Eve. And while that may not seem like a huge deal to some, those who have experienced any part of New York on New Year’s Eve realize that the subway is basically just a trap filled with drunken New Year’s celebrators possibly emitting either odors of alcohol or actual vomit. And let’s not even get into the fact that riding the subway on New Year’s Eve is practically an invitation for gropes and inappropriate touching … because we’ve all got to squeeze onto that car, right? Regardless, the former girlfriend to John Mayer was able to somehow ride New York’s A train in style following word that she’ll be the 2015 Super Bowl Halftime Show and those rather not-so-nice rumors surrounding Taylor Swift’s 1989 track “Bad Blood.” How do we know? Because the “Roar” singer was kind enough to post a picture to Instagram. Read More »

Don’t have any New Year’s Even plans for tonight? Well, turns out that might be a pretty good thing. So come on, folks. Dry up those tears, take off that lonely NYE top hat and celebrate the luxury of staying in because New York comedians Tracy Soren and Jessie Jolles (of Soren and Jolles, which brought us a hilarious Fault in Our Stars parody) are here reveal the reasons why keeping put on that couch might just be the best idea you’ve had in 2014.

If you’ve ever been to a comedy show then you’re well aware of the fact that a comedian normally has an opening act. But if you’re comedian Jim Gaffigan? Well, his approach is a little different these days. The famed stand up decided to change things up a bit during a show at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, WI. How so? The comic had the “Gaffigan Five” introduce him. You know, his five children. And no, it could not be cuter. The comedian is currently on tour promoting his new book Food: A Love Story, and after seeing the below video it’s pretty safe to say food isn’t the only thing he loves… Read More »
