Before there was Saturday Night Live, there was National Lampoon. Several of the people who worked with the National Lampoon, went on to SNL. A Futile and Stupid Gesture is the story of the people behind the magazine that changed comedy forever with their magazine and their films.
Will Forte leads the wacky group of people who made the ’70s even funnier. Plus, who doesn’t want to see how Joel McHale plays his former co-star Chevy Chase. That has to be an Oscar worthy performance if I ever heard one.
Therefore mark your calendars for January 26th because that is when retro humor will be current again.
Anna Faris shared a photo of herself looking very chummy with a much taller Joel McHale, so do the two CBS stars have something to tell us? Yes they do and you will hear all about it on her podcast Unqualified that is up now on iTunes!
First NBC broke our hearts when they cancelled Community, and then Hulu did the same last week when they said they weren’t picking up the sitcom. But today Yahoo made us smile with glee when they announced that they picked up the show for a 6th season! That’s right, this fall we will be getting 13 new episodes on Yahoo Screen.
Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong, Oscar winner Jim Rash and Executive Producer Dan Harmon will all be back in Greendale. Chevy Chase was expelled a while ago and will not be there. So how do they feel about the move? Harmon said, “I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online. I vow to dominate our new competition. Rest easy, Big Bang Theory. Look out, Bang Bus!†And McHale added, “Thank you Sony. Thank you Yahoo. Thank you Dan Harmon. And thank you to the greatest f%$#ing fans in the history of the human race. It’s the internet. We can swear now.” F*ck yeah! That is what Community was missing, cursing! Now the show is complete!
So how happy are you that Yahoo saved Greendale? I know, I can’t wait to see how they mesh this news in with the 6th season premiere in the fall. And I also want more musical numbers.
Before Joel McHale was defending intoxicated drivers on Community, he was defending the environment on Almost Live!. He looks the same now as he did when he was 24 in that 1996 variety show episode.
Community got some much needed press as the season was ending, it just wasn’t exactly the exposure they were looking for. So when Joel McHale was on The Late Show, David Letterman took the opportunity to find out what happened between Chevy Chase and former-show runner Dan Harmon. He didn’t exactly give any details about that, but he did share the time he beat up Chase per Clark Griswold’s request. Let’s just say Fletch didn’t flinch and because of that he suffered shoulder. Seriously what was Pierce Hawthorne thinking? I mean he has seen Jeff Winger without a shirt so he should’ve known how muscular he is. Believe me I have studied those muscles and I know I am not the only one who went to Community College for that course.
