Going Down in a Bleyz of Glory!
aaronbleyaert:
Oh man. So, I’ve been talking about starting up this weekly web show with Hardy and some other people - and, like I’ve mentioned previously, it’s not gonna be that big of a deal. More than anything else, it’s just something fun to do to keep busy while we’re unemployed. A reason to wear pants. You all know what I’m talking about, right? All you beautiful pantswearers out...
Who's Greedy?
“Jogging to stay healthy is virtuous; managing your pharmaceutical firm to stay profitable is inconsiderate (and for many people downright scandalous). Curiously, the set of self-interested actions that are widely praised are those whose positive effects redound almost exclusively to each self-interested actor. If I exercise and eat right, the resulting health and beauty benefits are mine...

– Did you know the TV series “Dinosaurs” ends with EVERYONE DYING DUE TO THE ICE AGE?!? Maybe I’m not remembering the show correctly, but this seems like a marked departure from the series’ typical humor. (via woefullymisinformed)
I remember watching this and being slightly confused by the serious...

Fascinating story. You have to read until the end.
This is very cool. I wish I’d had a professor like this
Peacock orders pilot from O'Brien - Variety →
supersecretdownlowhollywoodradar:
No hard feelings, CoCo.
Just days after NBC sealed its $33 million exit deal with Conan O’Brien, the Peacock has greenlighted a drama pilot from O’Brien’s Conaco shingle.
Untitled drama — previously known as “Justice”— from scribe John Eisendrath, revolves around a former Supreme Court Justice who bails from the Court in order to start his own legal practice.

Neil Young not only played with Dave Matthews at the “Hope For Haiti Now” telethon earlier tonight, but he also performed a touching rendition of Stills-Young Band classic “Long May You Run” for Conan O’Brien’s final episode as the host of the Tonight Show on NBC. Those weren’t the only epic musical moments of the evening, however, as we had previously believed…
Conan himself...

Conan O’Brien:
“To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism- it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere.”

And nobody does it better than Jon Stewart.
Pure, unadulterated brilliance.
Neil Young To Be Conan's Final Musical Guest
twentyfourbit:
Jimmy Fallon can do all the (brilliant) Neil Young impressions he wants, but his predecessor has the real thing coming up for his farewell episode of the Tonight Show on Friday night. The Wrap reports that NBC and Conan O’Brien finally reached an agreement this morning that officially makes this week O’Brien’s last as the host of the famous late-night talk show.

Luxury liners are still docking at private beaches near Haiti’s devastated earthquake zone for holidaymakers to enjoy the water.
Sixty miles from Haiti’s devastated earthquake zone, luxury liners dock at private beaches where passengers enjoy jet ski rides, parasailing and rum cocktails delivered to their hammocks.
I don’t see the problem. Those ships inject a lot of...
Watch Jay Leno’s announcement in 2004 that he’ll leave the Tonight Show.

Trailer for Eric Appel’s short film The Big Dog
My friend Eric directed and co-wrote this short film in collaboration with Funny Or Die, where he’s one of their talented in-house directors. It has an amazing cast, looks funny as hell, and is ridiculously well-made to boot. In short, I am jealous as hell. Fantastic work, Eric, I can’t wait to see...

I’m pretty sure Jimmy Fallon picked the perfect night to unleash the inevitable follow-up to his breakthrough “Neil Young Sings the ‘Fresh Prince’ Theme” performance. Sure, his predecessor, Conan O’Brien, is getting lots of love these days (and rightfully so! #teamconan), but what better way to celebrate Jay Leno getting served by Jimmy Kimmel than a instant classic clip of “the...
