Daniel Sloss Sheds Some Light on his New York Show ‘Dark’

Daniel Sloss doesn’t have time to explain comedy to you. The 25-year-old comedian, who has been performing since his late teens, is by all means a veteran comic at this point: Five appearances on Conan, eight years performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, sold-out tours worldwide, and even a popular TED Talk from TEDxEaling, titled It’s Just a Story. And the principle of his 2012 talk still rings true to his shows today, particularly when it comes to his most recent show Dark.

Louie Anderson is the Best Thing on TV Right Now

Baskets, the new and very original comedy starring Zach Galifianakis has plenty going for it. The hilarious performances by Galifianakis which are often touched with more than a little sadness makes Baskets the physical embodiment of the tragic clown. And then there is the unbelievably charming performance by newcomer Martha Kelly as lovelorn optimist Martha. But the character which has received the most attention and affection is Louie Anderson’s portrayal of Galifianakis’s mother.

Big Jay, Dan Soder and Rick Shapiro Star in Animated Short Featuring O.J., Osama Bin Laden and Hitler

In the last few decades, we've seen superhero movies go from clear-cut, black & white celebrations of Good triumphing over Evil to moody, subtle meditations on the gray areas in between and the very idea of what makes a Hero. Luis J Gomez and Dave Smith have waded into this murky territory with their new animated short The Alliance of Really Really Good People. But as you can imagine coming from two thirds of Legion of Skanks, "subtle" it is not. This teaser episode promises to show that some of the worst people in history, from Hilter to Justin Bieber, are merely misunderstood defenders of America.

Larry David Smashes Into Bernie Sanders on SNL with “Bern Your Enthusiasm”

We love Larry, but going into Saturday Night Live last night, let's just say we were keeping expectations low. Many of Saturday Night Live's funniest hosts have unfortunately produce some of the show's weakest episodes. So last night we were thrilled to see Larry David kill as the host with some of the funniest sketches of the year. Bonus for the chance to see Larry bring his curmudgeon LD style to some silly characters.
