Update: President Joe Biden, speaking to attendees at tonight’s Los Angeles fundraiser, said that Donald Trump “is dragging us back to the past and not leading us to the future.”

In his remarks, which lasted about 15 minutes, Biden presented a contrast between himself and Trump, as donors have been calling for the campaign to sharpen its attacks on the president’s likely rival.
Biden also talked of the death of Alexei Navalny, blaming it on Vladimir Putin. He called it “outrageous” that Trump has not condemned the Russian leader.

Over the years, slapstick has become one of the more intellectual branches of comedy. Oh sure, watching a guy get hit and fall down is funny on any level. But it’s also so simple and pure that each gesture can be unpacked and analyzed, just like a good poem. Turner Classic Movies is going to underline that point by airing a month-long tribute called “Ouch! A Salute To Slapstick” that will feature more than 50 films “from silent masters Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd to modern master Will Ferrell.” The films will air every Tuesday and Wednesday starting on September 6 for the rest of the month, and the blocks will be hosted—because this is TCM, after all—by comedian Greg Proops.
If all of those movies aren’t enough of an introductory course on slapstick, TCM will also by putting on a literal introductory course through Ball State ...

After months of prep work and production, Fox and FailArmy are finally releasing their newest TV project. World’s Funniest Fails, inspired by FailArmy’s YouTube channel, will make its debut on the Fox network on January 16, 2015.
The one-hour series hosted by actor Terry Crews will feature popular videos from around the world which are full of blundering and awkward mistakes (thanks to FailArmy’s channel owner Jukin Media, a company which specializes in viral clips). A panel of guest judges will determine which video deserves the title of “worst fail” each week. YouTube’s Mamrie Hart is set to appear as one of the guest judges, as are comedians like Brian Posehn (The Sarah Silverman Program) and Greg Proops (Whose Line Is It Anyway?).
With the help of Jukin and Dick Clark Productions, FailArmy shipped its potential series idea to television networks starting in April 2014. Fox ordered the then-unnamed...

Within seconds after sitting down to watch "Harmontown," you will notice that the doc is brought to you by "Starburns Industries." For those in the know, the production company is paying homage to one of the bit characters played by Dino Stamatopoulos on the TV show "Community." Those who watch the show will get a lot out of "Harmontown," and there may just be something for everyone else.
Dan Harmon is the comedic genius behind programs like "The Sarah Silverman Show," and the cult pilot one-off "Heat Vision and Jack," but his baby is "Community." The NBC art-sitcom experiment has been a massive underground hit, rewarding endless fanboys and girls with rapid-fire cultural references, endearing nerdy characters and non-stop punchy one-liners. The show is by no means a ratings-getter, and every new season is borne out of a turbulent gestation. Harmon's perfectionist work ethic towards the production and casting of...

If you're anything like us, you've been a fan of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" since the British episodes started airing on Comedy Central in the early 1990s. And you are also extremely happy to have these funny folks back on your TV.
The premiere episode featured a couple new improvers, Gary Anthony Williams and Heather Anne Campbell, plus some special guests -- "Walking Dead's" Lauren Cohan and "Glee's" Kevin McHale.
Favorite games were played -- Scenes From a Hat, Let's Make a Date, Living Scenery -- plus there were new games, like What's In the Bag and Sideways Scene. The Sideways Scene was particularly a lot of fun, as the improves laid on their sides and performed on a red set, which was then shown right-way up on TV.
