Ahead of their Super Bowl special airing Jan. 30 at 10pm ET/PT on Comedy Central, Key and Peele have released a Pro Edition of their popular East/West Bowl sketch, which traditionally has fun at the expense of the unusual names among some college football players. This time, Key and Peele portray a variety of fictional pro players with hilarious names, mannerisms and ways of speaking. Here, though, there are even a couple of real-life NFLers thrown into the mix, whose names were apparently too good to leave out, including Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, D’Brickashaw Ferguson and Aaron Rodgers (?). (Rodgers introduces […]

As if he hasn’t been mocked enough lately following his new Calvin Klein underwear ads (most notably spoofed last week by Saturday Night Live), pop star Justin Bieber will be the “roastee” in the next Comedy Central Roast, the network announced today. “Justin has been asking us for a few years to roast him, and we just kept telling him to go create more source material first. We’re thrilled he listened,” said Kent Alterman, President, Content Development & Original Programming, Comedy Central. The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber will tape in Los Angeles. Comedy Central says that the tape and airdate will be […]

The rumors about the death of “Stephen Colbert” turned out to be greatly exaggerated. Leading up to last night’s final episode of The Colbert Report, some were speculating that Colbert may take the opportunity to “kill” off the right-wing pundit persona he had successfully portrayed on the show for nine years. This made sense especially when it was announced that “Grimmy” (The Grim Reaper, a show regular) would appear as the only “guest” on the finale. It also made sense in that, once that “Stephen Colbert” was gone, the real Colbert could proceed with his real personality (which did creep […]

After tonight, there will only be four more episodes of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report left, as the series will end on Dec. 18 after a nine-year run. Stephen Colbert will be taking over CBS’ Late Show for the retiring David Letterman later next year. Today, Comedy Central announced who the guests will be for the final week of The Colbert Report. In a release, Colbert, modest as ever in his faux right-wing pundit persona, said, “Our last week of shows are going to be really special, just like every other week.” The Colbert Report Guests — Final Week, Dec. […]

For the first time in its six-season history, Comedy Central’s hit series Tosh.0 will air a “family-friendly” edition. Being a program that showcases the wildest viral videos from the Internet, Tosh.0 regularly includes clips that certainly are not suitable for younger viewers. Tonight, Oct. 7, however, the program promises a show “completely devoid of puking, bodily injuries, strong language with little or no sexual dialogue or situations.” While that may be a buzzkill for some, it will allow the more sensitive and younger viewers to tune in for once (but don’t get used to it). “Comedy isn’t about being clean […]

Good news for Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, as well as for fans of their hit show Key & Peele — Comedy Central has extended the previously announced fourth season order of the series to 22 episodes. This will bring Season 4 to a total of 20 original episodes, plus two “best of” episodes. Along with this news, Comedy Central announced that it has given a development deal to Key and Peele to expand their Critiquer’s Corner “Vandaveon and Mike” characters into an animated series. The animated project in development is based on the Vandaveon and Mike characters set as […]
