Meet Me In New York: Christian Finnegan

What do they say about New York City: There are eight million stories, and sometimes it seems as though eight million of the people telling them think they’re comedians? No, that’s not it.

With an emphasis on loosely. As Morgan prepares to unveil his fourth stand-up special, Bona Fide, this Easter Sunday on Comedy Central, he has hit all of the major media outlets in his hometown of New York City.

What’s next for Chelsea Handler on TV in 2015? After posting this photo of herself on Instagram, with her dog and paperwork bearing the CBS logo and the caption “business meeting,” Handler clarified her position Wednesday with a Tweet: “I have never had nor will have any desire to take a job someone else has already had.
