The run of Mike Birbiglia's "Sleepwalk with Me" has been extended for another two months til March of 09. Well worth seeing - particularly with the recent Wednesday night cameos by Zach Galifianakis and Ira Glass.

Tracy Morgan and T. J. Miller will co-star in the movie "Freshman Roommates" - which has a brilliant premise: what if those emails from Nigeria Princes weren't scams. Is it no wonder it sprung from the heads of John Mulaney and Nick Kroll? Get in line now!

Nick Swardson posts he's working on a new special to air on Comedy Central in '09. Suggests it will be titled "Seriously, who farted?" because he thinks it's funny to make announcers promoting the show to say that. It sorta is.

"King Baby", Jim Gaffigan's new CD and DVD for 2009 is available for pre-order now. He's offering "King Baby" stickers to the first 1000 orders, which will give you something to hand someone if its a Xmas gift.

HBO's picking up the dark comedy "Hung", featuring Thomas Jane as a down-and-out basketball coach with a big penis. The sex component isn't nearly as exciting as the fact that HBO making a show about poor people for once.

Comedy Central's making six TV episodes based off the web show "Secret Girlfriend", stringing along the dream of every web comedy producer out there. The "Secret" part - that this was a web hit?

In a "whoa!" move, NBC reportedly has signed Jay Leno to fill the 10PM prime time spot every weeknight with a new talk show. With Conan O'Brien taking over the Tonight Show in May, the network looked for (and found) a way to keep the still popular Leno.

Ben Stiller says "Zoolander 2" is in the works. Just need a good script, he says. What, a two-hour pose off won't cut it?

Those mystified by the success of Ruminations Aaron Karo have another thing to dislike about him. His album "Just Go Talk To Her" will be release as a mp3 download by Comedy Central next week.

Middle East's first comedy festival sells out. Amman Stand-Up Comedy Festival added an extra date, but the show featuring Russell Peters soon sold out as well. The festival starts tomorrow.

David Brenner at work on a new comedy site for baby boomers called FunnyDeli.com. He'll host a show called "Chewing the Fat." Site says launch in November, but obviously, that's wrong.
