The long-buried (or possibly, never- yet-imagined) dreadful secrets of musics most notable talentsincluding Princes bar mitvah remixes, Fleetwood Macs deals with McDonalds, and moreare, in the vein of John Hodgmans More Information Than You Require and The Onions Our Dumb Century, a wry and blasphemous tribute to the popular culture icons we hold dear. Category Archives: Good News! Well, if you still needed something to wash out the taste of misogyny and disrespect towards women after the Oscars, then a trio of announcements concerning female-centric projects might just finally cleanse your palate. Basically, it’s Ladies Night and all the girls drink for free. To wit: 1. Comedy Central has, very wisely, picked up a ten-episode order of Broad City, a comedy based on the web series of the same name created by and starring the brilliant Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson (full disclosure: they are close personal friends and two beautiful, strong, hilarious, independent women). Loosely based on their own lives, it’s the anti- Sex and the City that Girls** isn’t. Here is the Season 2 finale, a love letter to NYC that features Amy Poehler, who is executive producing the series (and is another beautiful, strong, hilarious, independent woman): They’re Finally Together. After more than a decade it looks like David Wain & Michael Showalter’s Wet Hot American Summer follow-up They Came Together is finally going to be made, if Variety is to be trusted (and, really, can they. ). Much like Wet Hot took on 80s summer camp flicks, this one has rom-coms in its crosshairs. And, much like Wet Hot , They Came Together will star Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler, and also likely the rest of The State and Zak Orth and A.D. Miles and Elizabeth Banks and Mather Zickel and Nina Hellman (not that we’re complaining. In fact, we’re crossing our fingers). You can see a very brief, very blurry clip from the They Came Together read through at this year’s SF Sketchfest here, or, instead, watch this iconic Rudd clip from Wet Hot . The choice is yours. We’re starting the campaign for a Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan cameo now. Gratuitious Search Term Bait of the Day: D3. No, we’re not talking about the Mighty Ducks 3 (although we kind of wish we were), but rather the upcoming third season of Adult Swim’s Delocated , as today’s search term is “will there be a delocated season 3.” Well, kids, as we reported last month, the answer is YES! Shooting starts this spring and hopefully we’ll see new episodes before the end of the year. But we’re happy to offer you a special exclusive behind the scenes look inside the Delocated Season 3 writers’ room: Vodpod videos no longer available. And more good news: Delocated creator and star Jon Glaser’s new book My Dead Dad was in ZZ Top was released yesterday. The book, a collection of “100% Real,* Never Before Seen Documents from the World of Rock and Roll,” is inspired by one of Glaser’s live bits, the act that gives the book its title. Glaser celebrated the release of the book at Brooklyn’s The Bell House last night with readings from the likes of John Hodgman, Scott Adsit, Paul Rudd and Jon Hamm. Here’s Rudd delivering one of the book’s entries, complete with his best Jay Leno impression: Do yourself a favor and pick up the book. Makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone. Good News! The Man Who Brought Us ‘Veronica Mars’ is Bringing His Latest Show to the Network that Brought Us ‘Arrested Development’ Veronica Mars and Party Down might be just memories now, but it appears that the genius of Rob Thomas will live on. Previously, Thomas, along with Party Down co-creators, John Enbom and Dan Etheridge, received a pilot order from NBC for their workplace comedy Temp . Keeping the ball rolling, Thomas has now been granted a pilot from Fox for his latest project, Little in Common , which has been described as “three families whose lives have become intertwined through youth sports,” which sorta sounds like Modern Family , but with unrelated clans. Or Perfect Couples with kids. But if Thomas can do with families what he did with a sassy teenage detective and hopeless Hollywood caterers, then Fox may have its best sitcom since Arrested Development . And if we can get three seasons out of this one, we’ll be happy. Now we imagine “youth sports” will include activities like soccer, baseball, basketball, maybe dance or ice skating. But may we recommend kickball? We already know that Thomas has that one down cold. Jon Hamm Reads Excerpt From Jon Glaser's 'My Dead Dad Was In ZZ Top' (VIDEO) At a standing room-only show at the Bell House in Brooklyn last night, Jon Glaser's new book "My Dead Dad Was In ZZ Top" got the star treatment from a few of the author's friends, including Jon Hamm, Paul Rudd and John Hodgman. The book, a collection of 100% real (i.e. 100% fake) documents from the world of rock and roll focuses on secret scandals that could have informed the work and careers of many of our favorite artists. Notable examples include, the entire Bob Seger catalog being based upon the artist's struggle with being a werewolf; Meg White actually being Jack's mother and their band the product of a time travel experiment; and ZZ Top becoming a long-bearded three-piece only after the author's keyboardist father left the band in protest over the name. Highlights from last night's reading included Hodgman affecting a Spanish-ish accent as Pablo Picasso and making the case that he had in fact been called an "asshole" on many occasions; Rudd as Jay Leno, respectfully declining Interpol's request to become his house band; and audience- favorite, Hamm, reading the following piece about the origin of The Butthole Surfers name. Thanks to audience member and YouTube user CaiteeRose2013 for posting. My Dead Dad Was in ZZ Top: 100% Real* Never-Before-Seen Documents from the World of Rock and Roll by Jon Glaser.

Jon Glaser: My Dead Dad Was In ZZ Top. Comedian Jon Glaser gleefully skewers what others hold sacred. His Adult Swim show, Delocated , plays with the dreadfully serious topic of witness protection, wondering what would happen if the guy being protected were a real fame whore, starring in a reality-TV series where he and his family modulate their voices and wear balaclavas the whole time. And even with this already-outrageous premise, the show excels when it pushes its comedy to the silly breaking point. In My Dead Dad Was In ZZ Top: 100% Real*, Never-Before-Seen Documents From The World Of Rock And Roll , Glaser finds a tailor-made vehicle for his comedy: poking fun at the things the biggest bands of all time take most seriously, from Bob Dylan’s image as an anti-establishment iconoclast to The Jesus & Mary Chain’s hardcore fan base. The book is a showcase for Glaser’s imaginative punchlines, and it works best when the setup is just as fun as the twist. Glaser’s framing device seems like a recipe for repetition, which it sometimes is. He purports to have stumbled upon evidence that his father was, unbeknownst to the Glaser family, the fourth member of ZZ Top, who left the band over creative differences and started his own soul-fusion band, Soulfucius. This evidence, he says, inspired his quest to discover rock ‘n’ roll’s deepest secrets. And so he unearths more supposedly real documents and photos—a cruise-line brochure shows where The Sea And Cake got its name; a tour rider reveals the truth behind the rumor that Rod Stewart swigged a mug’s worth of semen. Glaser varies how he reveals his faux information: In order to explain the much-speculated-on relationship between Jack and Meg White, Glaser procures a series of telegrams. Still, My Dead Dad too often returns to scraps of notebook paper, which wouldn’t be a problem, were the associated jokes not repeated. Glaser includes a “secret sellouts” section, where he’s penned alternate lyrics to Dylan, David Bowie, and Cream songs shilling for various fictional businesses. It’s tough to introduce surprise once he’s already established the parameters for a given bit. But My Dead Dad doesn’t spend much time on any one band.
