Key & Peele - Lightning in a Bottle

poolcleaner says...

They cancelled themselves and plan on making movies together: http://www.thewrap.com/key-peele-to-end-its-comedy-central-run-after-this-season-exclusive/

“This is our final season – and it’s not because of Comedy Central, it’s us,” said Key. “It was just time for us to explore other things, together and apart. I compare it to Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. We might make a movie and then do our own thing for three years and then come back and do another movie.

“I’m thinking we could do that every three years – take a year, go bang out a movie. That’s the plan right now.”

They reached the height of what they could create on a television program.

"You still on that?"

LMFAHS. I love Peele's deadpan and Key's outrage. They're the best.

Too bad they're canceled.

Jon Stewart Trashes CNN on 'Larry King Live'

Did Jon pick Trevor? I assumed it was Comedy Central as it's their show and not Jons.

So...Jon knocks their choice to "bring in an unknown British guy" when he himself brings in a token black guy whose whole stick is opposite The Daily Show.

Jon doesn't even elaborate on why he picked the unknown, so-so guy...

I think improv and sketch comedy groups are all springboards from stage to radio, radio to stage, stage yo television, radio to television, television to radio, to other television and ultimately the big screen. Any good YouTube sketch comedy? I've yet to really explore that, I guess Vine is funny sketch comedy. A bit too fast, over and done for me though. Cyanide and Happiness count? Web comics? Cracked? Anyway, on to television, which remains the fascination:

The first years of SNL are phenomenal with Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and Gilda Radner. And before that a lot of those guys were together on the National Lampoon Radio. (Speaking of radio, Dr. Demento?)

And there's also SCTV, jesus -- John Candy, Martin Short, Harold Ramis, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, and Joe Flaherty. Flaherty's vampire killed me as a kid. So funny, but really I haven't watched it since I was a youngster.

When I was growing up PBS played a lot of BBC television. Benny Hill amongst them, such a naughty show. I think I was barely allowed watch. But I enjoy the show as much as its mostly about old horny men and women with big tits.

What do I think about Upright Citizen Brigade? I would choose to be an Agent of U.C.B. before S.H.I.E.L.D. Great as both an improv group and sketch comedy for television. Amy Poehler and Horatio Sanz are awesome, and I love them on SNL as well. Assssscat

Cast transfers, right? Sketch comedy groups are like sports teams. Mark McKinney on SNL, etc. Daily Show anchors from Upright Citizens Brigade. SCTV to SNL, etc. Every sketch comedy floods into SNL. Did you watch Nickelodeon's All That? Kenan and Kell.

Mr Show is on my to watch list. I love David Cross in his stand up, as Tobias Funke on Arrested Dev, and as Todd Margaret, which is fucking RIDICULOUS if you haven't seen it. It's not sketch comedy but it might as well be. It's like a British comedy with brash Americans thrown into the mix. Chaos ensues and many, many, many laws are broken, including the usage of weapons of mass destruction and murder. Dark comedy.

Oh, I know a good dark sort of sketch comedy: The League of Gentlemen? It's sort of like if Simon Pegg produced Monty Python. They say things like "Rape our dead mouths". Psychopaths, murderers and crossdressers.

Now that we've ventured off the beaten path, what are your thoughts about the short run comedy central show Stella? Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain. All three from a funny sketch comedy series called the State. I think I've sifted or promoted some sketches from that series.

And I can't not mention MadTV, you know what? Uh uh, a list about sketch comed without MadTV, ridiculous. I'm running out of steam though, because I'm typing too much, but MO Collins, Orlando Jones, Bobby Lee, Phil LaMar (who does DC comics cartoon voice over work), Aries Spears, and Will Sasso. Damn.

And lest we forget (Thanks, Rudyard), Little Britain -- Britain, Britain, Britain, if it weren't for Little Britain I would scarcely know of the country.

I'm sure I've left off some other great sketch (In Living Color!!), but these came to mind and as I started to think of my favorite cast members and comedians, I began to realize how they all fit in the grand scheme of things. I'm going to watch some Fire Marshall Bill clips now.

Excellent points. If you look back over the entire SNL catalog there is a lot of great stuff. It's also been on for 40 years or so so yeah there should be. I think SNL is used as a springboard for a lot of comedians and writers. For example, Larry David was a writer.

What do you think of Upright Citizens Brigade or Mr. Show? I looked up a list of sketch comedy shows and it reminded me that the Chapelle show was pretty great. I never thought of Benny Hill as a sketch comedy show (it is), but I loved it as a kid. Probably too slapstick for me now.

The Daily Show - The Future of Gender Wage Equality

Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show.

newtboy says...

The better joke was...

Brian Williams needs a job, and there's an opening at Comedy Central, and Brian does have experience delivering fake news!

Jon isn't looking to be on TV daily anymore, or he would not be leaving by choice. Don't expect to see him as a regular TV host anywhere anytime soon. I'm guessing another movie might be in his future though.

There is an opening at NBC. Also, MSNBC has only 50,000 viewers and and could use all the help they can get their hands on.

Sad to think more people watch the Weather channel than MSNBC.


Jon should go to FOX but they only takes fired Liberals so I think Fox will be picking up Brian Williams in short order.

Stephen Colbert Interviews Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch)

speechless says...

And on the topic of "new user barriers" could you please post somewhere in the FAQ or anywhere what the "supported" or "known" hosts are that people can sift from when they have less then 50 stars?

I've had several sifts rejected by siftbot that were from sites that I would consider known or should be supported (like nbc.com and comedy central).

If you don't want new people sifting from those obviously popular sites, please tell us which sites are allowed.
