Sooo, did you guys see that Louis CK is creating a multi-camera sitcom for CBS with former Seinfeld writer Spike Feresten? How do you feel about THAT, speaking of things I wonder how you feel about. That’s a weird thing. Kind of. I mean, it’s not REALLY a weird thing because Louis C.K. makes TV shows, but it is a KIND OF weird thing. Right? Because of CBS? HELLO? -Vulture

Remember last Friday when we all thought that this was a picture of Jon Stewart dancing at a Dead Kennedys show? And we were so excited? Because Dead Kennedys was our favorite band for a long time? And we still really like ‘em? Well, guess what. IT’S NOT HIM! That’s the difference between Fridays and Mondays. -FilmDrunk

Seth MacFarlane VS. Jon Stewart (VS. Piers Morgan?)

Kelly — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:40:05 +0000

Oh, GREAT! I feel like it’s been years since we had a good feud, and don’t get me wrong, this is by no means a GOOD feud — it’s fairly mild-mannered and under control — but it’s certainly a feud and it’s certainly being discussed right now even though it’s based on events that happened about five years ago. Whatever, semantics. (Not semantics.) So!

On the most recent episode of Piers Morgan (airing tonight), Piers goads Seth MacFarlane into talking about a phone call Jon Stewart made to him back in 2008. (Kind of goads. It doesn’t seem like Seth MacFarlane is TOO hesitant to talk about it.) The story behind the call is that during the Writers Guild strike of 2007/2008, both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report went back on the air before the strike ended, without their writers. It was a controversial decision! And Seth MacFarlane reacted to that decision by making a joke about it on Family Guy, as he is wont to do. (I don’t know what the joke was. Probably The Daily Show is on TV and a big slug with a Star Wars shirt sits on Jon Stewart and then the set explodes and we’re suddenly in a Super Mario type videogame and Mario pops out with a sign that says “Writers On Strike” and then farts. That’s what Family Guy is like, right? I’m pretty sure that’s what Family Guy is like.) When Piers brings it up, Seth claims that he had never spoken about it before, but as Vulture points out, he HAS talked about it before — in a 2008 issue of Time:

There was a very inside joke on Family Guy referring to the fact that he was working before the writers’ strike was over. It was admittedly a very direct middle finger of a joke, which I don’t discount. But he called and was very angry about it. The call lasted an hour. It was pretty amazing. He’s a very good debater, I’ll tell you that. It was fascinating to me that it went on for so long.

Juicy feud! THE JUICIEST! But really the most upsetting thing about this feud is how excited Piers Morgan seems to be getting THE 2008 SCOOP. Do we have a clip? Let’s roll the clip:

And Now The Daily Show Weighs In On The Michele Bachmann HPV Thing

Senior Vaginal Correspondent, Kristen Schaal, offers a woman’s point of view on this heated debate. Meanwhile, Michele Bachmann is still a World Class Moron and this whole thing is entirely UNACCEPTABLE.

You can read an excerpt from Roger Ebert’s new memoir at Salon, and you should because it is great. -Salon
NYTimes has a profile on six actresses starring in upcoming TV shows this fall, including Kat Dennings and Zooey Deschanel. Did anyone watch the pilot of New Girl? I’m embarrassed to admit that I did. It wasn’t very good! (But also it wasn’t the worst.) -NYTimes

The first look at Lily Collins as Snow White. Looks nice! Not as nice as St. Vincent would have looked as Snow White but, hey, I get it. I’m not in charge of Hollywood at the moment and also she is not an actress and has nothing to do with anything. -EW
Steve Carell and Jon Stewart love each other during his appearance on The Daily Show. -Splitsider

Gabe — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:00:03 +0000

Louis C.K. was the guest on the Daily Show last night. This obviously fulfills the Videogum “Louis C.K. Promise,” but it can also be filed under BREAKING FART NEWS. Double doody. SORRYYYYY.

Jon Stewart Vs. Chris Wallace ))((

Gabe — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 16:15:04 +0000

Last Sunday, Jon Stewart went on FOX News and got into an argument with Chris Wallace about whatever Jon Stewart and Chris Wallace get in arguments about, and then Jon Stewart talked about it on his show some more, and now Chris Wallace is still talking about it. Neat! Four more years!
