“The Good Place” star Jameela Jamil has been tapped to host the new TBS game show “The Misery Index,” the network said Thursday.
She will join “Impractical Jokers” stars and “Misery Index” panelists Brian “Q” Quinn, James “Murr” Murray, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano on the show, which is inspired by the card game “Sh*t Happens” and draws on the comedians’ expertise in humiliation to help contestants evaluate life’s misfortunes.
“As someone whose life is just a series of mortifying incidents strung together, it’s going to be brilliant to take a break from my own mishaps, and feast in the disasters of others,” Jamil said. “I cannot wait for the misery to commence. This show is brilliantly ridiculous.”

Jameela Jamil is returning to her TV-hosting roots. Jamil, who built her career as a TV and radio presenter in her native England before joining the cast of NBC’s The Good Place, is returning to that role in the U.S. as host of The Misery Index, TBS’ recently announced game show.
Jamil “will serve as the show’s ringleader, delivering entertainingly cringeworthy questions to each team using her quick-witted humor and unwavering ability to call things as she sees them,” according to TBS. She’ll be joined by previously announced The Tenderloins comedy troupe and stars of TBS sibling truTV’s Impractical Jokers Brian “Q” Quinn, James “Murr” Murray, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano, who will be featured as recurring panelists.

"I'm freakin' out!" Netflix has unveiled a trailer for a goofy comedy titled Naked, another new time loop film (in addition to two others this year alone - Before I Fall and Happy Death Day). From the director of the parody comedy A Haunted House, Marlon Wayans stars in Naked as a guy about to be married, who ignores his responsibilities and spends the night before the wedding partying with a friend. He wakes up naked in an elevator and must relive the next hour until he gets things right on his wedding day. Yeah, what a unique concept. The full ensemble cast features Regina Hall, Dennis Haysbert, Scott Foley, Loretta Devine, Neil Brown Jr., Dave Sheridan, Megan Messmer, Jonathan Todd Jackson, and Cory Hardrict. As much as I usually enjoy time loop films, this one looks pretty bad. Doubt I'll be watching this. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Michael Tiddes' Naked,...

Marlon Wayans is Naked in a film that takes a note from Groundhog Day and makes a man repeat the worst hour of his life. Here's the official synopsis:
When Rob Anderson (Marlon Wayans), a charming man-child, arrives in Charleston the night before he is about to marry the woman of every man's dreams, Megan Swope (Regina Hall), he hasn't written his vows, learned the steps for the first dance, or even remembered to bring the ring. Instead of taking care of his responsibilities, Rob goes out for a night on the town with his best man (Jonathan Todd Jackson). Then something unexpected happens... Rob wakes up naked in an elevator with no idea how he got there. When the elevator doors open Rob is shocked to find that it's late in the morning and he has only one hour to get to the church or miss his own wedding.

April Fools Day is a big time of year in YouTube's prank community, and for the second year in a row, the company that works with many of the most popular practical jokers on the Internet is using the unofficial holiday as a chance to do good. Break has brought back its popular Prank It Fwd series for a second straight April Fools Day full of "positive pranks."
In each Prank It Fwd video, Break and its band of pranksters team up provide a heartwarming surprise for someone in need. In one of the new episodes, Break teams up with sponsor Barefoot Wine to provide a movie theater wedding for a cancer patient and her fiancée. Several partners from the Defy Media network join the fun: Greg Benson hosts, and Honest Trailers voice Jon Bailey lends his pipes to the fake movie trailer that serves as the episode's defining prank.

The man in question, named Alan McKracken, spent his days on the streets with a sign that read: "Homeless trying to get by/Anything helps/God bless." And according to people who had walked by the vet, McKracken "just wanted to make people smile, even if they didn't give him any money." That's when Anderson comes in… The famous magician introduced himself to McKracken and said, "Hey there sir, how are you? I saw your sign it says that anything helps. I wanted to...
