Comedy world figures Natasha Lyonne, Jimmy Kimmel and Paul Feig were among those paying tribute to “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse” creator and star Paul Reubens Monday after his estate announced his passing that morning. Reubens died after a six-year private battle with cancer.
Tim Burton, who directed “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” said he was “shocked and saddened” by the news. “I’ll never forget how Paul helped me at the beginning of my career. It would not have happened without his support. He was a great artist. I’ll miss him.”
“Paul Reubens was like no one else — a brilliant and original comedian who made kids and their parents laugh at the same time,” Jimmy Kimmel tweeted. “He never forgot a birthday and shared his genuine delight for silliness with everyone he met. My family and I will miss him.”
“Love you so much, Paul. One in all time,” wrote Natasha Lyonne, who...

Los Angeles, June 29 (Ians) International pop star Madonna was found unresponsive, and was rushed to a New York hospital after suffering from a bacterial infection leading to a multi-day hospital stay. Though she is on the mend with expectations of a full recovery, her upcoming ‘Celebration Tour’ has been postponed.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Guy Oseary, the singer’s talent manager and producer, confirmed that she had been admitted to an intensive care unit on June 24 due to the infection.”

Comedian Eric Andre is returning to Adult Swim for a sixth season of his absurdist talk show “The Eric Andre Show,” and he says his reasoning is partially financial. In an interview with the Associated Press, published Saturday, Andre said he would’ve called it quits earlier had his 2021 film “Bad Trip” been at all lucrative for him.
“I was going to end [‘The Eric Andre Show’] after five seasons and then I didn’t make any money on ‘Bad Trip,’” Andre said.
The film, which André co-wrote, produced and starred in, was never released in theaters due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The hidden camera comedy went through distribution issues before eventually being released on Netflix in 2021. In a recent interview with Howard Stern, André said the film took nearly a decade to make, but he only made around $17,000 from it.
Despite its delayed release, the film was at one point the No.

Ever a man of extremes, Eric Andre, who by all accounts buffed up into the best shape of his life as a bit for the new season of his late-night prank show, shows up to our interview in a bright green Newport Cigarettes tracksuit.
“I’m polluting my body yet again,” Andre tells Den of Geek magazine. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a Newport in my life. [Laughs] I’m a poser. I’m a fraud.”
When we meet Andre, he’s a handful of days into a trip to Austin, Texas, where Adult Swim screened two episodes of The Eric Andre Show’s sixth season on the opening day of the SXSW Comedy Festival to a raucous sell-out crowd with supporting sets from his new co-host Felipe Esparza and comedian friend Reggie Watts.

Over the past several years, ABC has filled its summer schedule with revivals of classic game shows and other unscripted shows. Because it's unknown when the writers strike will be over (so that scripted shows can go back into production), the network's fall schedule is filled with unscripted shows, too (a first in the network's history). Could this situation work to The Prank Panel's favor? Will this new show be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.

Beware! If you mess with the wrong person in an attempt to get them in a “gotcha!” moment, they might enlist Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre and Gabourey Sidibe to get you right back! That is the trio’s mission in their new ABC show, “The Prank Panel.” And no one is safe – not even the cast themselves.
The concept of the show is simple: people come before the panel and pitch a prank they’d like them to pull on someone close to them who first pulled a prank on them. In other words, big time retribution. The panel then chooses one and does all the very elaborate dirty work.
After Jimmy Kimmel, the show’s producer, pulled the group together, Andre set his sight on pranking Sidibe. But he was messing with the wrong person.
“You tried to get me with the bugs that, but the bugs had no effect on you.

The films released in 2020 and 2021 exist in this weird bubble, thanks to Covid. The ones that were released in theaters didn’t get seen by a lot of people. Other films that were destined for theatrical release were sent to streaming. Just as a fan of films, it was a confusing, strange time. On the business side, we saw Scarlett Johansson sue Disney for loss of money due to Covid release changes, and we also saw filmmakers come out to decry the evils of a straight-to-streaming release.

It must be a daunting task to try to prank pop music’s reigning troll, but Eric Andre sure gave it his best shot. Lil Nas X had quite the visit at The Eric Andre Show, as you can see from a sneak-peek clip of the upcoming Season 6 premiere episode (via Rolling Stone).
Complete with a saucy new hairdo and decór reminiscent of an ’80s porno set, Andre welcomed Lil Nas X with a roar of audience applause and a jingle from the in-house band. The pair hardly had a moment to chat before a strange, screaming presence began bulging out of Andre’s desk like it was the haunted TV screen in Videodrome.
The host eventually got things back on track — that is, until some unidentified substance began misting from his microphone and made him very, very sleepy. A prankster himself, Lil Nas X surely knew what he was getting himself into,...

After a decade-long friendship, comedy producers David Bernad and Todd Schulman finally put together their hidden-camera comedy expertise to make Amazon Freevee’s viral success “Jury Duty.”
The executive producers of the overnight hit mockumentary combined their talents for the improvised-scripted sitcom. Bernad and Schulman began with the idea to hone in on sitcom genre tropes and create a story about an isolated individual amongst a cast of actors as they served on a sequestered jury.
The two have had successful stints with unconventional comedy subgenres, most recently within the improvised-scripted sphere. Schulman worked with Sacha Baron Cohen on “Who Is America?” and Bernad teamed with Eric Andre on “Bad Trip.” Prior to “Jury Duty,” Schulman served as executive producer on “Borat,” “Bruno,” “The Lovebirds” and “The Dictator,” while Bernad executive produced “The White Lotus,” “Superstore,” “Uncharted” and “White House Plumbers.“

Los Angeles, May 5 (Ians) After coming out as bisexual in October last year, actress-model Emily Ratajkowski said she would “love” to date a woman, but is waiting for the “right one” to come along.
The 31-year-old ‘Gone Girl’ actress added she is waiting for the right female to come along and said rapper Meg Thee Stallion, 28, would probably be her type, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
She told the new issue of HommeGirls magazine when asked if she’d date a woman: “I would love to… waiting for the right one to come along.
“I’ve always been someone who’s more attracted to vibe than specifics of physicality so sometimes it’ll just randomly hit me and I’ll be like, ‘Whoa, I’m attracted to this person!’

Did anyone catch that sketch in James Corden's final "Late Late Show" where the unctuous Brit got a farewell from all the late night talk show hosts? Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers, and David Letterman all had a grand old time poking fun at Corden and his proclivity for singing and dancing before the host wakes up to find it was all a dream. Funny stuff.
If, like me, you find the whole late night scene a fascinating anachronism in 2023, you're not alone. The great comedian Tim Heidecker loves to skewer the increasingly outdated talk show format whenever he gets a chance. But he and his Abso Lutely productions, which he co-owns with fellow "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job" star Eric Wareheim, have also gone a step further and provided the perfect salve for anyone overwhelmed by the mediocrity of Carpool Karaoke and pre-prepared talk show anecdotes.

Thursday marked the end of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” and the talk show went out with a bang. Spread between a “Carpool Karaoke” special at 10 p.m. Et/Pt and the last episode at 12:37 a.m. Et/Pt, CBS gave Corden and his team over two hours to say goodbye to their fans. And that goodbye contained everything from skydiving to surprise appearances from Joe Biden and David Letterman.
It all started with “The Last Last Late Late Show with James Corden Carpool Karaoke Special.” On Monday, CBS released a clip of Adele waking up a surprised Corden for his final-ever “Carpool Karaoke.” Filled with tears, emotional stories and a rendition of “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” the segment set the silly yet sad tone of this late night show’s departure. But even though Adele was the one in the car, it was Tom Cruise...
