Hate-Watching Hating Breitbart
16 May 2013 9:00 PM, PDT | Village Voice | See recent Village Voice news »
Let’s say that you and your friends get accused of being racist. And let’s say there’s nothing in your heart that fits that accusation. You know you’re a celebrator of freedom, a passionate American who wishes all people could enjoy the best that this country has to offer. You’re white, incidentally. Still, you’re accused, and your reputation is tarnished, so you elect to fight back. How to go about it? If you’re the late Andrew Breitbart, champion of the Tea Party’s virtue against the likes of Janeane Garofalo, the answer is clear: Point out as often as you can that, no, it’s actually black people who are the racists. You don’t put it in those words, of course. No. You yell at the media—&l »
Chicago, we're doing another super-secret comedy show, and it goes on sale tomorrow
16 May 2013 1:25 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
As you may recall, during last year's Just For Laughs festival in Chicago, we presented a late-night stand-up show called [Redacted]. You bought tickets on faith, all the money went to 826 Chicago, and you were rewarded with an incredible lineup that included Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt, Amy Schumer, Kyle Kinane, Hannibal Buress, Janeane Garofalo, Brian Posehn, and more. Can you tell where this is going? We're doing [Redacted] again, this time on June 12, 2013. Once again, you won't know who's performing until they step on stage. Once again, the proceeds will go straight to »
Remembering Stella, New York’s All-Star Alt-Comedy Showcase of the Nineties
3 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
In the mid-nineties, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain — whose sketch group the State had scattered after their unsuccessful 1995 CBS special — frequented New York City’s alternative-comedy haunts Rebar and Luna Lounge to perform and watch scene staples like Louis C.K., Janeane Garofalo, Todd Barry, Marc Maron, and Jon Benjamin. Evenings there “were long, meandering shows because it was experimental,” recalls Wain, “and we thought this was a genre of comedy that needs its own not-first-draft-type night.” And so he, Black, and Showalter launched a weekly show where these comics and sketch groups could present spit-shined pieces, while the three hosts could perform the goofy, high-concept bits they’d wanted to perfect. They found a venue for a weekly variety show at Fez, a dark club under the now-defunct Time Café, and dubbed their showcase “Stella” after Fez’s very pregnant booker told them that was what she »

The Cast Of Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion 16 Years Later
26 April 2013 9:15 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Sixteen years ago today, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion hit theaters. It’s hard to believe it was so long ago… But now we get to revisit Lisa Kudrow, Mira Sorvino and the rest of the cast, which also included Janeane Garofalo, but more surprisingly, Kristen Bauer (!) and Justin Theroux (!!).
Lisa Kudrow (Michele Weinberger)
The former Friends actress has starred in a slew of shows and films. Kudrow currently stars in Web Therapy as Fiona Wallice, a therapist who works with patients over the internet.
Mira Sorvino (Romy White)
Sorvino has popped up here and there, including a 2000 film version of The Great Gatsby and Mimic. The latter resulted in a compound excreted by the sunburst diving beetle being named after her (“mirasorvone”).
Up Next: Alan Cumming, Jennifer Aniston’s fiance and more. »

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #21 - Mystery Men (1999)
6 April 2013 12:54 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Throughout April, we're counting down to the release of Marvel's Iron Man 3 with our picks for the Greatest Comic Book Movies of All Time; here's #21...
Mystery Men, 1999.
Directed by Kinka Usher.
Starring Ben Stiller, William H. Macy, Hank Azaria, Greg Kinnear, Kel Mitchell, Paul Reubens, Janeane Garofalo, Wes Studi, Geoffrey Rush, Ricky Jay, Eddie Izzard, Lena Olin, Tom Waits, Claire Forlani, Dane Cook and Doug Jones.
Superhero teams are all the rage in Hollywood these days, but before The Avengers - and even before X-Men - there was... Mystery Men.
Loosely based on the team created by Bob Burden as part of his Flaming Carrot Comics series, the film adaptation sees misfit superheroes Mr Furious (Stiller), The Shoveler (Macy) and The Blue Raja (Azaria) recruiting even more misfit superheroes in an effort to defeat the supervillain Casanova Frankenstein (Rush), who has escaped captivity and is holding the champion Captain Amazing (Kinnear) hostage. »

World Scrabble Champion And Comedian Takes His Dark Tale To The Stage
23 March 2013 5:33 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Matt Graham, a comedian once known in the Boston comic realm as the master of "non stand-up stand-up," has one of the most daunting resumes we've ever seen. He rubbed elbows with Louis Ck and Janeane Garofalo on the comedy circuit in the 1980s, then made appearances on Conan O'Brien, wrote for SNL and even earned the admiration of podcast curmudgeon Marc Maron.
But Graham recently took an eight-year hiatus from comedy, devoting himself to two of his other impressive talents -- Scrabble and Ncaa basketball. Back in 1997, Graham placed second at the World Scrabble Championship. Then at the age of 40, he tried out for Hunter College's Division II basketball team.
If these experiences weren't enough, Graham, who has battled with alcoholism and depression over the years, has recently added "Theatrical Performer" to his list of professional achievements. After avoiding the crowded platform of comedy clubs for nearly a decade, »

Rethinking Mystery Men
22 March 2013 6:12 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Aliya Whiteley 25 Mar 2013 - 07:12
In the aftermath of The Avengers, isn't the underrated 1999 superhero movie Mystery Men worth reassessing?
In 1999, between the body blow of Batman And Robin and the kiss of life that was X-Men, the superhero movie was temporarily revived by a loose adaptation of the Flaming Carrot Comics. It was called Mystery Men.
It was panned, lost a lot of money, and years later the lead actor announced that it had been a terrible movie and he was ashamed of it. All of this suggests that it should be pushed under the carpet and left to rot, but there are so many great things about Mystery Men that it really doesn’t deserve that fate, no matter what Ben Stiller says about it.
To start with the plot - at heart, Mystery Men is a film about all pulling together. It’s not a novel »

Watch: Ben Stiller's Hilarious 'Die Hard 12' Spoof from His 1992 Show
14 February 2013 12:07 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
"How can the same thing happen to the same guy so many times?" As we celebrate the release of A Good Day to Die Hard today (read Jeremy and Ethan's opposing reviews), it's also the perfect occasion to look back in time to 1992, when "The Ben Stiller Show" was airing on Fox. Though it was cancelled after just one season, the creative team had time to put together a hilarious spoof of the Die Hard series that I think is more enjoyable than John Moore's latest sequel. MTV points us to the video, which stars Stiller as John McClane and has appearances from Bob Odenkirk, Andy Dick, Janeane Garofalo, and more. Watch! Here's the sketch for Die Hard 12: Die Hungry, originally via MTV Movies Blog: Stiller does a killer impression of Willis, and I'd honestly prefer to see an entire movie like this instead of watching A Good Day to Die Hard again. »

Watch: Funny or Die Explores the Dark Side of the 'Pete & Pete' Reunion
5 February 2013 1:17 PM, PST | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Nickelodeon TV series "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" ran from 1993 to 1996 and won the hearts and minds of late Gen-Xers with its charmingly surreal take on childhood and guest stars like Steve Buscemi, Iggy Pop, Chris Elliott, Janeane Garofalo, Debbie Harry, LL Cool J and Patty Hearst. Created by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi, the show developed a considerable cult following over the years since its run ended, leading to cast and crew reunions taking place in New York and L.A. in 2011 and 2012 and once again last month as part of Sf Sketchfest in honor of the show's 20th anniversary. But is it possible that all this nostalgia comes at an unseen and dark cost? Funny or Die came up with the following spoof video featuring Michael C. Maronna (Big Pete Wrigley), Danny Tamberelli (Little Pete Wrigley), Toby Huss (Artie, the Strongest Man in the World) and Rick Gomez »

'Pete & Pete' reunion will make you laugh even as it destroys your childhood -- Nsfw Video
5 February 2013 7:48 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Revisiting the TV you loved as a kid generally leads to one of two things — realizing that you had horrible taste in elementary school, or being pleasantly surprised by how well your old favorites hold up. Happily, Nickelodeon’s eccentric, proto-hipster sitcom The Adventures of Pete & Pete is bound to inspire the second reaction — especially once you’re old (and wise) enough to recognize its guest appearances by unlikely stars including Michael Stipe, Iggy Pop, Janeane Garofalo, and Steve Buscemi.
It’s no surprise, then, that the ultra-hip Sf Sketchfest chose to stage a Pete & Pete reunion in San Francisco last month. »

Kate McKinnon ushers in better lesbian representation on "Saturday Night Live"
20 January 2013 1:56 PM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Tags: Kate McKinnonSNLSaturday Night LiveJodie Fosterk.d. langMartina NavratilovaIMDb
Saturday Night Live has been a part of American culture for five decades and, in that time, the show has done a handful of gay characters and stories (mostly male-focused). When Lgbt themes are part of a show, rarely are any actual Lgbt people a part of it. That's why the addition of Kate McKinnon to the SNL cast has been such a positive force for not only the gay community, but for viewers who look to the show to have its finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist. Like it or not, gay people are part of pop culture, too.

Since Kate, an out lesbian, joined the cast last year, she's done impressions of real life out women including Tabatha Coffey, Ellen DeGeneres and, just this past week, Jodie Foster. Obviously someone need not »

Tina And Amy Will Be Great, But How Will They Compare To Our 7 Favorite SNL Alum Hosts?
11 January 2013 2:55 PM, PST | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
It is without question that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are going to dominate this Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony. We know this like we know the sun will rise tomorrow. Between their hosting gig and Andy Samberg‘s new job hosting the Independent Spirit Awards, we started to wonder which SNL alums have also tried their hands (and succeeded!) at the award show hosting game.
7) Steve Martin
Martins’s hosting job was a cut above at the 2001 and 2003 Oscars, and his co-hosting with Alec Baldwin in 2010 was solid. (Solid in as much as they survived being upstaged by both a Neil Patrick Harris musical number and a giant orange Snuggie.) “Hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman. It’s something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town.” Martin once joked. Speaking of which…

Janeane Garofalo slams '24' exec Joel Surnow: "He hated my politics"
8 January 2013 4:09 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Janeane Garofalo has hit out at TV writer/producer Joel Surnow over his work on 24. Garofalo - who played FBI agent Janis Gold in the Fox drama's seventh season - claimed in an episode of podcast Going Off Track that Surnow "hated" her liberal politics. She went on to accuse him of planning to use the character of female Us president Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones) as a device to warn viewers against electing Hillary Clinton as Commander-in-Chief. "He wanted Cherry Jones to play the president that season as a slam to Hillary," Garofalo said. "He wanted it to seem unappealing. Unfortunately, the fans loved Cherry Jones as the president - she was wonderful - but it was made to frighten you from Hillary. "This might sound all (more) »

Rush Limbaugh and 24 creator Joel Surnow on Monday were responding to attacks leveled by actress-activist Janeane Garofalo, who starred in the 2009 season of Fox's hit TV show and said recently that Surnow used 24 to advance a conservative agenda and malign liberals. Photos: The Top Celebrity Political Twitter Commentators Surnow, though, told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday: "I hired Janeane Garofolo on 24 not because of any political agenda. I had none.
