The Roast of Reggie Watts and more surprises in Season 3 of IFC’s Comedy Bang! Bang!, as told to us by Scott Aukerman

Posted by | May 8, 2014 | , , |

When Comedy Bang! Bang! returns to IFC tonight with its third-season premiere, we see not one, not two, but three different pairings of host Scott Aukerman and musical sidekick impresario Reggie Watts!!! “We decided to do a tribute to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, because we thought – that’s the third Raiders movie – this is our season three,” Aukerman told The Comic’s Comic. “So we watched that and thought that would be really funny to show the beginnings of Scott and Reggie as kids. In the same way that River Phoenix was the beginning of Harrison Ford. So it was...

Get to know the real Marc Maron from the IFC TV Maron by going “Inside Maron’s Garage”

Get to know the real Marc Maron from the IFC TV Maron by going “Inside Maron’s Garage”

Posted by | May 8, 2014 | , , |

IFC’s Maron returns for its second season tonight. Maron remains very quasi-autobiographical in an almost The Newsroom way, re-enacting the recent past travails of stand-up comedian and podcaster Marc Maron and spinning them in heightened and colorful ways for the sake of a TV situation-comedy universe. So it’s nice to see the real Maron here inside his real garage (not the loving fictional version built for the TV series) reflecting on his real life. “Inside Maron’s Garage” includes six webisodes. But first, for #TBT, here is my video shot inside Maron’s garage during the recording of WTF with Marc...

Katt Williams told us he was coming back. He told us just last week on Arsenio. Spike Lee just directed a young comic’s first HBO stand-up special last night with Jerrod Carmichael.

Williams previously appeared on HBO in the 2006 special “The Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1,” as well as “Russell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam.” His 2014 special is produced for HBO...
