'House Hunters: Comedians on Couches'
HGTV SPOTLIGHTS COMEDIANS AND THEIR HOUSE-HUNTING COMMENTARY IN NEW JUNE SERIES ‘HOUSE HUNTERS: COMEDIANS ON COUCHES’ New York [May 18, 2020] Fans who miss televised live events and the pithy professional commentary that comes with them can now look to HGTV to fill that void with its new, highly anticipated series House Hunters: Comedians on Couches (fka House Hunters: LOL). In a four- night, star-studded special event at 10 and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT from Tuesday, June 2, through Friday, June 5, America’s favorite contactless past time—watching and commenting on House Hunters—gets a fun new twist when seven popular comedians deliver hilarious, no holds barred, color commentary on classic episodes of the hit series. Together via videoconference, the entertainers will call out the victories and agonizing defeats caused by paint colors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and open concept spaces. The House Hunters: Comedians on Couches celebrity lineup is led by Dan Levy and Natasha Leggero and features their comedian friends Whitney Cummings, Eliot Glazer, John Mulaney, Chris Redd and J.B. Smoove. “House Hunters is a pop culture phenomenon that inspires strong reactions from viewers who like to play along with its familiar house selection process,” said Jane Latman, president, HGTV. “While we may not agree with the house each family chooses or the reasons they select it, we can agree that it’s a good time to lean on talented people who can find the humor in everything and make us laugh out loud—even when it comes to the challenges and triumphs of house hunting.” And, the comedic fun on the couch supports a good cause.

The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21St Century Stand-Up
The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage © 2018 Rachel Eliza Blackburn M.F.A., Virginia Commonwealth University, 2013 B.A., Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Dr. Katie Batza Dr. Henry Bial Dr. Sherrie Tucker Dr. Peter Zazzali Date Defended: August 23, 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Rachel E. Blackburn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Date Approved: Aug. 23, 2018 iii Abstract In 2014, Black feminist scholar bell hooks called for humor to be utilized as political weaponry in the current, post-1990s wave of intersectional activism at the National Women’s Studies Association conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her call continues to challenge current stand-up comics to acknowledge intersectionality, particularly the perspectives of women of color, and to encourage comics to actively intervene in unsettling the notion that our U.S. culture is “post-gendered” or “post-racial.” This dissertation examines ways in which comics are heeding bell hooks’s call to action, focusing on the work of stand-up artists who forge a bridge between comedy and political activism by performing intersectional perspectives that expand their work beyond the entertainment value of the stage. Though performers of color and white female performers have always been working to subvert the normalcy of white male-dominated, comic space simply by taking the stage, this dissertation focuses on comics who continue to embody and challenge the current wave of intersectional activism by pushing the socially constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, class, and able-bodiedness.

RACIAL SATIRE AND CHAPPELLE’S SHOW by KATHARINE P. ZAKOS Under the Direction of Mary Stuckey ABSTRACT This thesis examines Chappelle's Show’s use of racial satire to challenge dominant stereotypes and the effectiveness of that satire as a tool to achieve perspective by incongruity. I use a variation of D’Acci’s circuit of media study model to examine the institutional challenges and limitations on the show due to the context in which it was created, produced, and distributed; to interrogate the strategies employed by the show’s writers/creators to overcome these challenges through the performance of race; and to analyze the audience’s understanding of the use of racial satire through a reception study of the show’s audience. I argue that using satire often has the unintended consequence of crossing the line between “sending up” a behavior and supporting it, essentially becoming that which it is trying to discount, though this is not to say that its intrinsic value is therefore completely negated.

THE FEMALE BRAIN Written by Whitney Cummings and Neal Brennan Based on THE FEMALE BRAIN by Louanne Brizendine 6/3/2016 INT. TED CONFERENCE - AUDITORIUM STAGE - CONTINUOUS Julia, smart a little alpha, 30’s, walks onto the stage. She’s together but a bit nervous. There’s a large TED screen behind her where we will see various diagrams to illustrate what she discusses. JULIA Women are crazy. Men are stupid. Women are obsessed with marriage. All guys are obsessed with sex. * We’ve all heard or thought these stereotypes at one point or another. Now, bear with me, what if they weren’t stereotypes? What if they were facts that, if we changed * our perception of them, could * actually be a good thing? * The audience looks at her with some doubt. * JULIA (CONT’D) I’m not only going to focus on the * Female Brain today. Men’s brains * are fascinating, but that's mostly * because they’ve been studied more. Men do have bigger heads and thicker skulls than women and in the old days, scientists assumed that meant that men had bigger brains, too. But recently we learned that women have the same exact number of brain cells, * they’re just jammed into a smaller * space. If we just found that out recently, what else don't we know? OVER BLACK: FIVE MONTHS EARLIER INT. STEVEN AND LISA BEDROOM - MORNING -FIVE MONTHS EARLIER Two butts in bed. STEVEN (40’s, sharp, easy), sleeps soundly. * LISA (40, pretty, seen it all) wakes up.

And out of danger, fear, slamming, crashing and all sorts of other things we don’t normally associate with dance. Dancers need to be careful with their instruments — their bodies — right? Streb asks her dancers to throw themselves off bridges, to climb down skyscrapers, to knock themselves against walls. Routinely, they’re a split-second short of disaster.

The Female Brain
THE FEMALE BRAIN A film by Whitney Cummings Starring Whitney Cummings, Toby Kebbell, Beanie Feldstein, Cecily Strong, Sofia Vergara, Deon Cole, Blake Griffin, Lucy Punch and James Marsden 2017 Los Angeles Film Festival World Premiere Saturday, June 17th at 5:45PM | Arclight Culver City Theatre 2 – World Premiere Sunday, June 18th at 10:00 AM | Culver Theatre 8 – Press & Industry Screening Running Time: 98 minutes Press Contact: The DDA Group [email protected] [email protected] SYNOPSIS A romantic ensemble comedy about modern day relationships, The Female Brain provides insight into the complexities of the male vs female brain at varying stages of love: whether it’s finding the right romantic balance; parenting; expressing emotion; or simply admitting shortcomings when a bathroom remodel goes awry. In the end, detached researcher Dr. Brizendine has to admit that her study of the brain might have a bias that she did not initially consider. DIRECTOR WHITNEY CUMMINGS Q&A with Writer/Director Whitney Cummings Tell us about the concept and story behind The Female Brain. How did the idea/project come to you? I read the book and was enthralled by all the science of it. I was fascinated by all the things I learned about not only female brains, but the brain in general. We all have this incredibly powerful machine in our skulls making lots of decisions without us, and we know next to nothing about it! I was shocked that they don’t teach us about our brains in school. I became obsessed with how our primordial, reptilian brains sabotage our modern relationships.
