  • These ‘Will & Grace’ Reunion Photos Will Give You Life (UPDATE)


    UPDATE: Alas, they were not working on a Netflix revival. However, the stars did reveal they had gathered to shoot a new nearly 10-minute “Will & Grace” minisode for the 2016 election:

    Original post:

    Oh, honey, grab a martini and let’s toast this perfect surprise from the cast of “Will & Grace”!

    The four stars of NBC’s eight-season (1998-2006) sitcom — Eric McCormack (Will Truman), Debra Messing (Grace Adler), Queen Megan Mullally (Karen Walker), and Sean Hayes (Jack McFarland) — recently reunited, then shared appropriately innuendo-laden photos on social media.

    But didn’t just look like a casual reunion. It almost looked like … a return?

    Here are some pics shared by the fab four, plus commentary from Megan’s hubby Nick Offerman and fans like Tituss Burgess, hoping that this means good things ahead … like at least six episodes on Netflix.


    Yes. Yes! What does this MEAN? Considering the set location and that script in Eric’s hand, it suggests more than just a casual hangout. Netflix, are you on this?

  • Best of Late Night TV: Alanis Morissette’s Updated ‘Ironic’ and Nick Offerman’s Fatty Meats


    If you’re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of what happened last night on late night.

    Let’s get this late night party started with “Modern Family’s” Jimmy Kimmel Live” selling Mary Kay products / recruiting Kimmel’s employees to join his makeup squad (a squad even cooler than that of Taylor Swift). The biggest takeaway from this sketch: Mary Kay is still a thing people use. Who knew?

    More importantly (no offense, Ty), Jimmy Kimmel pitched to “Shark Tank.” His brilliant idea? The Kid Cone. Essentially, a giant cone you shove on your child for their own safety. What could go wrong? (Also, his other idea was “hats for fruit” — we don’t want to talk about it.)

    Over on “Late Night,” Kathy Griffin had a few things to say about Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson. And none of them were good, guys. None of them were good.
    Jimmy Fallon spent some free-time chatting about Oprah’s list of favorite things (AS HE SHOULD), and Nick Offerman joined him to read some of the more ridiculous descriptions aloud. And by “ridiculous,” we mean INSPIRATIONAL.

    Also, Nick shared his favorite fatty meats for Fall — including a pig fed a diet of only turduckens. That is all. Bless this man.

    Meanwhile, several amazing things happened on “The Late Late Show,” the best of which was Alanis Morissette singing “Ironic” with a new set of contemporary lyrics. Gems include “it’s like swiping left on your future soulmate,” and “it’s like Netflix but your Uber’s down the street.”


    Last, and definitely best, Conan played Fallout 4 while wearing an amazing costume. He definitely killed himself within five minutes, but you know. Worth it.

  • Visit Nick Offerman’s Pizza Farm in This Healthy Food PSA Spoof

    nick offerman, pizza farmThe argument that pizza is a vegetable seems ridiculous, but it was part of the very real debate behind some past congressional changes to the national school lunch program. Now, comedian Nick Offerman has teamed with Funny or Die and the American Heart Association to tackle that absurd logic, in a hilarious PSA spoof set at a pizza farm.

    Offerman deadpans that no one really knows the definition of “healthy,” and to him, it means “ripe, juicy pizza” that’s been “kissed by the sun” on his farm. He offers a little girl a choice between a taquito — which grow on trees, in case you didn’t know — and an apple, and she quickly scoffs at the latter option. “You see?” Offerman says. “Kids know what their bodies need.”

    The rest of the farm tour features sloppy joes grown in the ground — watered by a hose filled with cola, naturally — and bushes bursting with fishsticks, because, as Offerman explains, “If it’s on a plant, it’s good for you.”

    “French fries are practically salads,” he declares, “which is why I like mine with ranch.”

    Of course, it’s all ridiculous (the reveal of how all that stuff actually got there is pretty funny), and that’s the point. “Our kid’s [sic] health shouldn’t be a laughing matter,” reads a placard at the clip’s end, directing viewers to the American Heart Association’s website.

    We know this is supposed to be skewering our country’s ridiculous health standards and all, but we have to say: how awesome would a real-life pizza farm be? Then again, our excitement over that possibility perhaps explains why such a PSA is necessary in the first place. Check it out below.

  • The World Is Out of Balance in ‘Fargo’ Season 2 Trailer

    Fargo season 2Do yourself a favor and lock the door — because “Fargo” season 2 is just around the corner.

    FX released the first teaser trailer for the drama, and it looks as foreboding and dark as the terrific first season was. This time, the ’70s is as much of a character as Patrick Wilson, Kirsten Dunst, and Ted Danson. We’re sure to see plenty of crazy hairstyles and hear some awful slang.

    Watch the trailer.

    Season 2 is set in 1979 and focuses on the mysterious investigation in Sioux Falls that was repeatedly referenced in the first season. Here’s the official synopsis from FX:

    The all new “true crime” case of Fargo’s new chapter travels back to 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota, where a young State Police Officer “Lou Solverson” (Patrick Wilson), recently back from Vietnam, investigates a case involving a local crime gang and a major Mob syndicate. Helping him piece things together is his father-in-law, “Sheriff Hank Larsson” (Ted Danson). The investigation will lead them to a colorful cast of characters that includes “Karl Weathers” (Nick Offerman), the town lawyer of Luverne, Minnesota. A Korean War vet, Karl is a flowery drunk blessed with the gift of gab and the eloquence of a true con artist.

    Three-time Emmy winner Brad Garrett will play “Joe Bulo,” the front man for the northern expansion of a Kansas City crime syndicate. The new face of corporate crime, Joe’s bringing a Walmart mentality to small town America. His number two is “Mike Milligan” (Bokeem Woodbine). Part enforcer, part detective, Mike is always smiling – but the joke is usually on you. Bulo and his crew have their sights set on the Gerhardt crime family in Fargo, currently led by matriarch “Floyd Gerhardt” (Jean Smart).

    With her husband at death’s door, Floyd takes over the family business, frustrating her eldest son, “Dodd Gerhardt” (Jeffrey Donovan). An impatient hothead with a cruel streak to match his ambitions, Dodd can’t wait for both his parents to die so he can take over and expand their business from kingdom to empire. “Bear Gerhardt” (Angus Sampson) is the middle son, an intimidatingly large man who, although inarticulate, is the most decent of his clan. “Rye Gerhardt” (Kieran Culkin), the youngest of the Gerhardt clan, views himself as a big shot, but in reality he’s just a small dog who barks big.

    “Fargo” season 2 premieres this September.

  • Best of Late Night TV: James Corden’s Must-See Nuzzle Game, Fallon’s Quadruple Crown Race

    If you’re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of what happened last night on late night.

    Nick Offerman, Ellie Kemper, and Thomas Middleditch were on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” Monday night, and they seemed to have a lot of fun — when not being traumatized by having to nuzzle a snake (Nick) and a sumo wrestler (Ellie). Here they discuss — and demonstrate — who is the best fake smoker: And here’s the fun — but scary — game called “Nuzzle Waaa?” where everyone had to be blindfolded and then nuzzle something and be the first to shout out what it was. James and Ellie were partners opposite Nick and Thomas. What’s worse — the snake or the sumo guy? The sumo guy seemed to enjoy it, like he was being lightly tickled. Not sure how the snake felt. We know how Ellie felt, since she looked like she wanted to bolt! Now watch them in “Talking Mentalist” when they’re supposed to be talking about “The Mentalist” but they showed a “CSI” show instead: Over on “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon raced around the studio in mini motorcycles with Triple Crown winning American Pharoah jockey Victor Espinoza. It’s kind of hilarious that Victor went the wrong way and Jimmy had to wait for him so Victor could win and be declared the first Quadruple Crown Race winner. “Seinfeld” powerhouses Larry David and Jason Alexander were also on “The Tonight Show.” They discussed being on Broadway, and shattering box office records. Larry brought up how he never saw Jimmy backstage. They debated the merits of backstage chit-chat. Fallon kind of overdoes it in front of these two, but he’s a gusher.Jimmy also did some screengrabs, sent in from fans: Edie Falco was on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” She has a big finale coming up (for “Nurse Jackie”), which is her second big finale after “The Sopranos,” and she discussed how random people come up to her all the time to say “What the hell was that?!” and she knows they’re talking about the “Sopranos” finale.
    George Wallace was also on Seth’s show and discussed his epic road trip with “best friend” Jerry Seinfeld. Tim Robbins was on “Conan” and he talked about the recent prison escapes, which were called “Shawshank”-like. Because of the movie, whenever people escape from jail, some people seem to want Tim to comment. He also discussed political power, in reference to his new HBO show “The Brink.” Marc Maron was also on “Conan,” talking about not masturbating in the shower during a drought, as the “unspoken cause” to help the environment, and his increasingly hipster neighborhood.

  • Ronald Reagan Is a Character in ‘Fargo’ Season 2


    There have been a lot of questions regarding the second season of FX’s beloved, Golden Globe-winning “Fargo,” which capped off whirlwind first season in pretty definitive fashion. Initially series creator Noah Hawley (working from the equally revered Coen Brothers movie of the same name) said that the second season would go into the past, to a story recounted in the first season by Lou Solverson (Keith Carradine, to be played by Patrick Wilson in this new season), about some criminal activity he investigated following his return from Vietnam. After the TCA winter press tour, FX CEO John Langraf shared some additional details with Entertainment Weekly.

    “It covers something that was referenced in the first installment by Lou Solverson, Molly Solverson’s [Allison Tolman] father,” Langraf told EW. “It’s a big sprawling, in some ways, more comedic [season], though at times, a very serious show. It’s set in the late ’70s against the backdrop of Ronald Reagan’s first campaign for President of the United States. Reagan is a character in it.” Later, he confided to EW that “Reagan will be interacting with our characters,” although the role has yet to be cast.

    The rest of the cast has been rounded out, though, with, according to the site: ” Ted Danson as Hank Larsson, Lou’s unflappable father-in-law; Nick Offerman as Karl Weathers, a local lawyer; Jean Smart as Floyd Gerhardt, the matriarch of the Gerhardt crime family; Jeffrey Donovan as her eldest son, Dodd Gerhardt; Angus Sampson as her inarticulate middle son, Bear Gerhardt; Kieran Culkin as her youngest son, Rye Gerhardt; and Kirsten Dunst as small town beautician Peggy Blomquist, and her husband Ed (Jesse Plemons), who attempts to be supportive of his wife’s self-discovery, even if he doesn’t quite understand it.”

    The 10-episode miniseries starts production today, with episodes beginning to air this fall on FX. We cannot wait.
