As you may have head, IFC recently greenlit ten half-hour episodes of “The Birthday Boys,” a new scripted original sketch comedy, which is executive produced by Bob Odenkirk (“Breaking Bad,” “Mr. Show”) and Ben Stiller (The upcoming “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “Zoolander”). The series is in the classic vein of absurd/silly/smart/funny variety shows…
There’s a lot to love about AMC’s “Breaking Bad.” From Bryan Cranston’s impeccable Walter White, to Aaron Paul’s intense Jesse Pinkman and everyone else in between, but one of our absolute favorite characters on the show is Bob Odenkirk’s shady, money-laundering lawyer Saul Goodman. There have been rumors swirling about a Saul Goodman spinoff series…
Bob Odenkirk may not be a real lawyer, but he plays a great one on TV, on “Breaking Bad,” specifically. So when the Birthday Boys needed someone to formally accept the terms of our offer to broadcast ten episodes of their new sketch comedy show, “The Birthday Boys,” obviously they went straight for Saul …er,…
“This is a crazy and maybe even a stupid idea,” says Will Ferrell. “IFC is either really courageous or really stupid which makes them the perfect partner for us.” He may be right, but we couldn’t be more excited to be working on “The Spoils of Babylon” produced by Funny or Die with executive producers…

Before Girls or Curb Your Enthusiasm or Flight of the Conchords, there was The Larry Sanders Show. It was the seminal HBO comedy in the 90s filled with razor-sharp satire that skewered Hollywood while letting everyone in on the joke. It starred Garry Shandling as the vain and neurotic talk show host Larry Sanders with…
On the cusp of Arrested Development returning to screens large and small and hot on the heels of the Malcolm in the Middle family get together, now comes more amazing news and we are really starting to wonder if it’s our birthday. Turns out that another of our favorite comedies, The Ben Stiller Show, is…
You know how they (read: annoying people at work) like to say that the early bird gets the worm? Well, they should go back to embroidering that on throw pillows, because you know that early birds get something way WAY better than a gross old worm. You know what early birds get around these parts?…
As you many know, Scott Aukerman is relatively new to the talk show hosting celebrity thing and running a television show like Comedy Bang! Bang! is hard.

Congratulations, you have made it through another long weekend. It is officially the start of summer. You can wear white shoes and drink gin and tonics at lunch.

There are a lot of things you can do to help promote a healthy lifestyle: Eat more vegetables, hydrate, wear sunblock. Those things are all possible, but they’re not exactly fun.

Bob Odenkirk started out as a writer on Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and the brilliant Get A Life, before moving in front of the camera as a writer and co-star on The Ben Stiller Show. However, the show he is perhaps best known for is Mr. Show, the genius sketch comedy…

Before he ever met a Focker, Ben Stiller had his very own television show. The Ben Stiller Show aired on MTV from 1990 to 1991 and then moved to Fox from September 1992 to January 1993.
