Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark of “My Favorite Murder” launch Exactly Right podcast network

Posted by | Aug 15, 2018 | , |

In two-and-a-half years, My Favorite Murder has grown from oddity of the Feral Audio podcast network, to headlining touring theater act, to millions of monthly downloads. Now the comedians who started My Favorite Murder are starting their own podcast network: Exactly Right. When Feral Audio bit the dust at the end of 2017, in part due to allegations of abuse lodged against that network’s founder, several podcasts split and joined Starburns Audio. But there remained a distinct lack of podcast networks fronted by and geared toward supporting women. Into which void Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark have now filled...

Luke Null out after one season on Saturday Night Live

They planned to make a documentary about themselves as a comedy couple and a family. Instead, they separated. Ralphie later died. And now, Turner hopes to use all of the footage they have from throughout 2015 into one final documentary and comedy special: Love You, Ralphie. She’s seeking $75,000 from fans and supporters via Indiegogo, which would cover post-production costs and distribution. Proceeds from the special...

Evan Kaufman explains his oops moment on $100,000 Pyramid

Posted by | Aug 15, 2018 | , |

Evan Kaufman can be seen plenty of times at The People’s Improv Theatre and other venues around New York City, either performing Your Love, Our Musical, or with his house improv group, Gypsy Danger. He’s also directed some national TV commercial campaigns you might have seen. But you likely definitely remember seeing him this week on ABC’s $100,000 Pyramid. Even if you didn’t tune in to watch it on TV. That’s because he made a big ol’ blunder for all to see, and turn into viral memes. I’ll let Kaufman explain himself, in his own words. “So. This is...
