Did you miss the Walsh Brothers entirely in Aspen? They were amazing.

Jul23

BlueCollarOrDie.com has folded. Country cousin of Will Ferrell's Funny Or Die failed to gain traction in crowded comedy world. Even quick remake into KungFuTodd didn't save it.

David Cross will star with Michael Vartan in "Demoted", a comedy where Cross' character becomes Vartan's boss after years of teasing at the later's hands.

Jul22

Bill Burr will go off on a rant for Comedy Central in "Purgatory", a series that has Burr talking about a topic "with no reading, no research -- just strong opinions" a la Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann

Now that Amy Poehler is available, NBC wants both "The Office"-style sitcom staring her and the actual "Office" spinoff. Sometimes, greed is good.

Jimmy Fallon will start his Late Night hosting gig with some trial runs on the Internet. They won't be the whole show, just 5 to 10 minutes, but they will be released at 12:30 each evening.
