Cartoon Network’s ‘Regular Show’ To Step Up Half-Hours
17 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Annecy — J.G. Quintel’s Emmy-winning “Regular Show,” one of the jewels in Cartoon Network’s ratings crown, in and outside the U.S., looks set to become more regularly bigger.
“Regular Show’s” regular segs clock in at a quarter of an hour, including commercials.
At Annecy as part of a strong presence from Cartoon Network, Quintel, the series creator, said he hoped to increase the number of “Regular Show” half-hour specials.
Quintel already puts out a Thanksgiving and Christmas Special. There will be “three-or-four more” Christmas-themed Specials within one season, which haven’t aired yet, and at least one Halloween-themed half-hour every season, he announced.
Reasons to multiply the half-hours abound. One is Quintel’s creative-roots.
“I was very influenced as a kid by ‘The Simpsons,’ who did the ‘Treehouse of Horror’ episodes which pushed the show further than they normally would.
Half-hours ease innovation: Quintel has overseen 190 11-minute episodes “which is a lot. »

Kathy Griffin named host of 2014 Daytime Emmys
1 hour ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Maybe it’s a good thing the 41st Annual Daytime Emmys won’t be broadcast on television this year — just-named host Kathy Griffin might have a little more leeway in what she can get away with during her monologue.
An Emmy winner herself, the comedian was named emcee of the 2014 gala on Friday. The event will stream online live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel on June 22.
“I am beyond thrilled to be hosting what I’m told is the most important television event of the year. Knowing that over 100 million people from every corner of the planet will be watching, »

Adult Swim Streams J.J. Villard's 'King Star King'
3 hours ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
What the hell is King Star King? Is it genius or pornography? It's certainly the work of a mad man, its creator J.J. Villard. Adult Swim's latest series may be too hot for broadcast or cable, but its a hallucinatory cartoon acid trip - and its first season order of all six episodes will debut Sunday on Adult Swim.com. To some, this series will be quickly dismissed by some as mindless, scatological junk. Others will be turned on by the unrelenting sex, gore and pop-art references. Think Jack Kirby meets Rory Hayes, Big Daddy Roth, Peter Max, He-man, Yellow Submarine and Ralph Bakshi. Mix them all together and take LSD. That's King Star King. Having met J.J. several times over the past few years I can attest that this show accurately reflects the id of its creator. He's not trying to be outrageous, Villard Is outrageous. He's not an animation outlaw, »

Abed Nadir may not have gotten his six seasons and a movie, but Danny Pudi remains thankful that Community had five.

Playing Greendale’s resident pop-culture enthusiast gave the actor the opportunity to step into the shoes of everyone from Don Draper to Han Solo to various members of the show’s central study group.
Season 5 in particular, though, saw Abed dealing with an onslaught of changes, including a death in the college, the departure of his best friend and even the start of a romantic relationship, but Pudi rose to the challenge, grounding »

A game of catch turned into a spectator sport when Kevin Costner played with his sons at the site where Field of Dreams was filmed.
In celebration of the baseball movie’s 25th anniversary, Costner arrived at the field near Dyersville in northeast Iowa on Friday. He tossed around a ball with sons Cayden, 7, and Hayes, 5, in the infield while hundreds of fans clapped when the boys made a play.
“We don’t usually have this many people around when we do this,” Costner said, according to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.

'22 Jump Street': 10 pop-culture references you might have missed (and three you wish you had)
5 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
No doubt fans of 21 Jump Street recognized plenty of callbacks and self-deprecating cracks made by Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in the über-meta sequel 22 Jump Street. From a running gag about how sequels are more expensive versions of the exact same thing (including undercover partners Schmidt and Jenko’s high-tech new HQ, which Jenko describes as cool “as a Cube of Ice”) to the line “F— you, doves!” (surely a throwback to the first installment’s fan-favorite line “F— you, science!”), the movie was chockablock with them.
That said, judging from some conspicuous moments of silence during gags at the »

Here’s an exclusive look at the script for Tyrion Lannister’s awesome trial scene from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Writer Bryan Cogman tells EW of his scene from this season’s sixth episode, “The Laws of Gods and Men”: “This is a moment we’ve been building to ever since the beginning. Every scene with Tyrion , every interaction, was all leading up to this moment. The Shae [Sibel Kekilli] moment triggers what’s been building up inside him his entire life. He was going to take his father’s deal and go quietly and then decides he’d rather die than give in. »

Jimmy Fallon has one question for Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube: 'Sup'? -- Video
7 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
22 Jump Street stars Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube surely had plenty to say about their new film when they stopped by The Tonight Show on Friday. But host Jimmy Fallon had just one question for the stars: “Sup?”
It’s a simple question that the pals made unnecessarily complicated, answering the greeting in the most ridiculous ways possible. Sup-sounding replies included: soap, lentil soup, sippy cup and… Patrick Duffy?
Tatum and Hill bro out in the new comedy, going undercover as college kids, so we get the joke. But the bit comes this-close to bringing on flashbacks of those “Wassup! »

The Los Angeles Kings are your 2014 Stanley Cup champions, and Hollywood is all atwitter.
The East Coast-West Coast finals matchup drew A-list interest as the Kings topped the New York Rangers in a thrilling Game 5, which took two overtimes to decide. Defenseman Alec Martinez scored the heroic Cup-winning goal, causing celebrities to blow up Twitter with their excitement (or, in the case of some New Yorkers, resignation):
Kings Win!!! The @LAKings best the @NYRangers in Double Ot! So the Stanley Cup goes Hollywood! The Kings’ Royal Dynasty has begun!

Lizzy Caplan talks sexism in Hollywood, makes sweet music with Reggie Watts on 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' -- Exclusive
9 hours ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Lizzy Caplan is funny, sexy, and seriously talented. She can do it all — and has — in a career that’s spanned from Mean Girls to Masters of Sex. But maybe she’s a little too good.
That’s what Comedy Bang! Bang! host Scott Aukerman posits when the actress stops by his IFC show on Thursday. Does she ever wonder if maybe there are too many complex, dynamic roles for women in Hollywood? Maybe the ladies better slow it down and give the boys a chance.
“Boys can be funny,” Caplan reasons, cheekily poking fun at the lack of opportunities »

This Week on Stage: Greta Gerwig debuts, Tonys post-mortem

To paraphrase Stephen Sondheim: Another theater season just got off of the train. But the start of the 2014-15 season is already threatening to jump off the track a little. After Sunday night’s mixed-results Tonys ceremony (No “in memoriam” segment? And did we really need to see Hugh Jackman embarrass himself rap?), the Tony administration committee announced that they would be discontinuing the sound design categories, to much consternation; in fact, 19,000 theater professionals and fans have already signed a petition to reinstate them, and the number keeps growing.
