Between Two Ferns: James Franco, Ed Norton and The Lonely Island Head to Spring Break

Mike Sampson — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:50:35 +0000

Two of our favorite things on the internet are the Zach Galifianakis 'Between Two Ferns' and The Lonely Island web shorts. They are equal parts hilarious. But what if we told you that 'Between Two Ferns' and The Lonely Island teamed up for one massive video about music, spring break and gay marriage starring James Franco and Ed Norton? It's hard to describe but you're just going to have to watch for yourself because it's hilarious.

Nick Romano — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:32:32 +0000

The first 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2' trailer has finally hit after the release of a snapshot or two, and a nail-biting countdown on Facebook. So what happened to the 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' gang after Flint Lockwood's invention completely smothered his home island in giant-sized food? Where did they go? What happened with all that food? These questions will finally be answered with 'Cloudy 2,' dubbed 'Revenge of the Leftovers.'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 17:44:36 +0000

It's been a tough going for Andre Braugher on TV, what with ABC both literally and figuratively sinking the high-profile drama 'Last Resort,' and even TNT pulling the plug on 'Men of a Certain Age' after only two seasons, but might the star's newest project prove unsinkable? Sources say that Andre Braugher has joined 'SNL' vet Andy Samberg's upcoming FOX cop comedy from 'Parks and Recreation' producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur. Find out who the former submarine captain will play inside!

SNL: Lonely Island Returns With "YOLO"

Jacob Hall — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:45:52 +0000

When Andy Samberg left SNL, we thought we'd never see another Lonely Island music video on the show again. This is a situation where we're ecstatic to have been wrong! Samberg and his crew (including a few cameos that you're bound to recognize) are back with a new song and new video and it's one of their best.

Terry Crews Joins Andy Samberg in FOX Comedy from 'Parks and Recreaction' Creators

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 23:44:40 +0000

For as much as we miss Andy Samberg's presence on 'SNL,' and hope 'Parks and Recreation' producers Mike Schur and Dan Goor's new FOX comedy won't mean the end of Pawnee, we're doubly excited to see what becomes of the groups new single-camera detective comedy. FOX has officially picked up the script to pilot, and we've now learned 'The Newsroom' and 'Expendables' star Terry Crews has been tapped to flex his comedy muscles for the series. Get the latest on the project inside!

'SNL's Andy Samberg Lands FOX Sitcom from 'Parks and Recreation' Producers

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 22:30:00 +0000

Never fear, Andy Samberg fans. The timing of the unfortunate 'That's My Boy' with Andy Samberg's 'SNL' exit does not mean that the "D*ck in a Box" funnyman has abandoned TV for movies. In fact, we've just learned that Samberg has signed onto an untitled FOX comedy from the creators of 'Parks and Recreation,' but who will the new sitcom see Samberg playing? And what does it mean for the fate of 'Parks and Recreation?'

Aubrey Plaza's Got a Dirty 'To Do List' in This NSFW Trailer

Britt Hayes — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:59:17 +0000

This isn’t your typical to-do list with laundry and groceries and getting your hair figured out. Nope, Aubrey Plaza‘s ‘The To Do List’ features a very different, very naughty sort of list. Check out this red band trailer for the film, which hits theaters on Valentine’s Day next year. Written and directed by Maggie Carey, [...]

Reel Women: 'Celeste & Jesse Forever'

Britt Hayes — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:37:55 +0000

Celeste and Jesse are perfect together; they speak in their own language, they know each other's ticks, and they're the best of friends. There's only one problem: they aren't together anymore. In the middle of a divorce, Celeste and Jesse are driving their friends crazy, still attached at the hip and unable to let this relationship go.

Written by and starring Rashida Jones, and co-starring Andy Samberg, 'Celeste & Jesse Forever' is a sad but often sweet examination of denial at the end of a long-term relationship.

'Celeste And Jesse Forever' Trailer: Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones Do Drama

Melissa Molina — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:00:43 +0000

We all know that Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones are great comedy actors, but they’re able to show us all what they can do in drama with ‘Celeste and Jesse Forever‘ from Sony Pictures Classics. Since the two actors have been doing comedy for a good chunk of their careers, it’s surprising but refreshing to [...]

New 'Hotel Transylvania' Trailer Reminds Us That Adam Sandler is Funny Sometimes

Britt Hayes — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 18:19:15 +0000

Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg reunite for animated comedy 'Hotel Transylvania,' but can it make up for the offensively awful 'That's My Boy'? We're starting to think so.

'That's My Boy' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 03:59:51 +0000

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but at some point along the way the words “A Happy Madison Production” stopped meaning a silly, fun, dirty-at-times but altogether entertaining movie and started meaning avoid at all costs. I'd have to look at the facts and figures but by the time Adam Sandler was sitting in a kiddie pool full of blue pee, I gave up on him.

'That's My Boy' has more than enough pee jokes of its own (so much pee) but it's also got something else – Adam Sandler playing a character. It takes about sixty seconds with him as Bud-swilling, foul-mouthed, walking id Donnie Berger to - well, maybe admire is the wrong word, so let's say eagerly - sign on for a movie-length ride.

Andy Samberg Interview: 'That's My Boy,' Leaving 'SNL' and Vanilla Ice

Britt Hayes — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:00:32 +0000

'That's My Boy' hits theaters tomorrow, and in the film Andy Samberg plays Todd, the son of Donny (Adam Sandler), a crude, obnoxious guy who became famous as a teen for bedding his teacher. Todd was the result of that statutory affair, and fled home (and his insane dad) at 18 to start his life over. But when the washed-up, beer-guzzling Donny gets into some trouble with the IRS, he tracks Todd down on the eve of his wedding and shenanigans ensue.

We spoke with Samberg today about his role in the movie, crossing over from 'SNL,' working with one of his comedy heroes, and yes, 'MacGruber 2.'

Andy Samberg Speaks Out Against the Zombie Apocalypse on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

Nick Romano — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 23:50:01 +0000

As Andy Samberg pointed out during an interview on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ there’s a serious problem in America that people seem to be turning a blind eye to — the impending zombie apocalypse. There have been some pretty gruesome stories in the news recently, like the naked guy caught in Miami chewing on his victim’s [...]

NSFW 'That's My Boy' Trailer: Too Many Curses to Count

Sean O'Connell — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:52:49 +0000

From what we’re hearing (and what we’ve been able to see), Sean Anders’ ‘That’s My Boy’ is Adam Sandler’s full-fledged foray into hard-R comedy. F-bombs, gratuitous nudity … by all accounts, it’s Sandler doing the polar opposite of ‘Jack & Jill.’ And that’s a good thing. The latest red-band trailer continues to sell that line. We have it for you below.

Andy Samberg Made His Own Trailer for 'That's My Boy'

Damon Houx — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 23:16:10 +0000

They've already had red-band and green-band trailers for Sean Anders' 'That's My Boy,' but it seems star Andy Samberg felt they lacked a personal touch. It also seems he felt they didn't highlight the film's fictional star-power, which includes Tom Cruise a gun-firing Rastafarian Hulk, and a sardine can full of comedy stars. Check out Samberg's cut of the trailer...

Andy Samberg is Done with 'SNL'… Mostly

Damon Houx — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 23:52:42 +0000

Though Lorne Michaels wasn't quite sure about it, Andy Samberg has confirmed he's leaving 'SNL' and won't return next year. This comes as no surprise as he's just about to star in 'That's My Boy.'

NSFW 'That's My Boy' Trailer Is Raunchy, But Is It Funny?

Britt Hayes — Thu, 24 May 2012 21:03:28 +0000

It’s getting harder to get a read on Adam Sandler‘s latest comedy, ‘That’s My Boy,’ but this new NSFW trailer makes it look just a little bit funnier than what we’ve previously seen. ‘That’s My Boy’ stars Adam Sandler as a washed-up loser named Donny, who kicked his son Todd (Andy Samberg) to the curb [...]

Watch Andy Samberg's Commencement Address to the Harvard Graduating Class

Mike Sampson — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:58:15 +0000

Andy Samberg just called it quits on a storied 'Saturday Night Live' career this past weekend but yesterday he was already up at Harvard University delivering a rousing speech to the graduating class. And he brought some of his friends - Nic Cage, Mark Wahlberg and Mark Zuckerberg - with him.

Watch Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis Join Foo Fighters for Epic Post-SNL Rock Out

Britt Hayes — Tue, 22 May 2012 20:33:44 +0000

Following the tear-stained farewell to Kristen Wiig this past weekend on 'SNL,' the Foo Fighters (who joined musical guest Mick Jagger for a performance on the show) took the stage with several of the series' stars for one hell of an after party.

Are Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis Leaving 'SNL'? Lorne Michaels Says No

Damon Houx — Tue, 22 May 2012 00:45:16 +0000

This weekend on 'Saturday Night Live,' Kristen Wiig was given a teary farewell. Though rumors had swirled that she was leaving, the final sketch/song left no doubt that the episode was Wiig's last. What was odd is that both Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis were also rumored to leave. Were they ignored?

'SNL' and Lonely Island Planning "Lazy Sunday" Sequel as Last Digital Short

Mike Sampson — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:01:56 +0000

Just yesterday, we published our list of the 10 Best 'SNL' Digital Shorts and, not surprisingly, "Lazy Sunday" came in at #1. At the risk of repeating ourselves, we won't get into why "Lazy Sunday" was so revolutionary for both 'SNL' and online videos (you can read the article for that), but rest assured, we think it's very big part of 'SNL' history. And as Andy Samberg prepares to leave 'SNL' he and his Lonely Island partners are going back to the beginning for their swan song.

Steven Spielberg Presents 'Laser Cats 7′ on SNL

Jacob Hall — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:13:00 +0000

Did you miss 'Saturday Night Live' last night? Well, fret not, gentle television viewer with a highly restrictive bedtime and/or busy late night schedule! With the power of the internet, there's no reason to ever fall behind on the best (and occasionally worst) material that the immortal SNL has to offer. This week, Josh Brolin took on hosting duties, but the most buzzed about moment was when someone, who may or may not be named Steven Spielberg, made a special appearance.

'Saturday Night Live' Up for Big Shake-Up?

Damon Houx — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 23:30:26 +0000

'Saturday Night Live' is an institution at this point, and will never leave as long as there's no real competition. But it does go through stages. It looks like this year will end another era, as it's being reported that Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis will all leave at the end of the year.

Green Band Trailer for 'That's My Boy' Isn't Much Better

Britt Hayes — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 21:04:18 +0000

A green band trailer for the new Adam Sandler-starring, Happy Madison-produced ‘That’s My Boy’ has been released online, and it’s not clear exactly how this is a green band trailer, aside from a noticeably absent use of the F-bomb escaping Sandler’s lips between his “dippity-do” schtick. The trailer does seem to provide more context for [...]

Watch Adam Sandler Continue to Squander Remaining Goodwill in 'That's My Boy' Trailer [NSFW]

Britt Hayes — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:01:35 +0000

If last year was the year of the complex, regressive woman with genre-spanning films from ‘Bridesmaids’ to ‘Young Adult’ to ‘Melancholia,’ 2012 is certainly shaping up to be the year of the Douche Bro. Behold: Adam Sandler’s latest “effort” (can we even call this an effort anymore?) ‘That’s My Boy.’ The Todd Phillips’ produced ‘Project [...]
