Podcasts about acme saturday night

From 2010: When last we spoke, Thomas Calabro was preparing to host ACME Comedy’s “ACME Saturday Night” live show and being described as a former star of the late lamented TV series “Melrose Place." Today, he’s once again a star of “Melrose Place,” which has been revived by The CW

Today's Guest: Jonathan Bennett, actor, Van Wilder: Freshman Year, Mean Girls Order 'Van Wilder: Freshman Year' starring Jonathan Bennett, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the DVD cover above! When I was a freshman at the University of Miami back in 1978, Animal House was all the rage and the coolest guys on campus wanted to be like “Otter,” played by Peter Riegert. He knew all the girls, glided through school and was envied by all the guys. Well, it’s 30 years later—damn, where did the time go—and now all the young college dudes want to be like another National Lampoon character: Van Wilder. There have been two Van Wilder movies and two talented actors who played the smooth, suave young dude: Ryan Reynolds—whatever happened to him?—and my guest tonight, Jonathan Bennett, who starred in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder: Freshman Year. JONATHAN BENNETT podcast excerpt: "There are more Vans down in the pipeline... I will play Van Wilder until I'm 90, I love that character so much. We can do Van Wilder: The Senior Years and do it in the retirement home!" A heavy responsibility befalls the man who wears the crown of a guy like Van Wilder, the model of horny, party-going young men everywhere, but I suspect Young Master Bennett can handle the pressure—he’s made a cottage industry of being second to step in time-honored roles, including starring as Bo Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning. You may have also seen him in Mean Girls as Lindsay Lohan’s boyfriend, Bachelor Party Vegas, opposite Kal Pen of Harold & Kumar fame, or in the Steve Martin movie Cheaper By the Dozen 2 as Bud McNulty. But this Saturday night, September 19 at 8 p.m., he faces a real challenge as celebrity host of Acme Comedy Theatre’s “Acme Saturday Night.” Jonathan Bennett Twitter • Facebook • Instagram • Wikipedia • IMDB • Cake Wars on Food Network Kicking Through the Ashes: My Life As A Stand-up in the 1980s Comedy Boom by Ritch Shydner.

Today's Guest: Danny Pudi, actor, "Community" Inspector Spacetime -- "Conventions of Space and Time": (l-r) Gillian Jacobs as Britta, Danny Pudi as Abed, Donald Glover as Troy -- (Photo by: Vivian Zink/NBC)   Danny Pudi as Abed on the NBC sitcom "Community." (Photo: Mitchell Haaseth/NBC) It’s a shame Lorne Michaels didn’t sign up Danny Pudi for “Saturday Night Live” before the producers of the NBC sitcom “Community” cast him as “Abed.” He is so flexible in body, mind and voice as to suggest a combination of Jim Carrey, the late Phil Hartman and a thoroughly modern Rich Little. Pudi looks so unassuming that no matter how often you see him do his stuff on “Community,” you can’t help but do a double-take, rewind and watch him do it again. And again. DANNY PUDI Audio Excerpt: "It's really amazing to watch Chevy Chase. To learn from him and watch him... His hands are fun. And the fact I have a Christmas card with Chevy Chase on my refrigerator is wild enough, but the other day he told me my Christmas card is on his fridge? I don't think it gets any stranger that knowing my face is on Chevy Chase's fridge right now. It's pretty insane." Danny Pudi stars as Abed -- and sometimes, Batman, in the NBC comedy "Community" (Photo: Chris Haston/NBC) In moments you'll hear a clip from a recent episode, in which co-star Chevy Chase goads him into practicing his manly technique with fellow community college student Annie, played by Alison Brie. Here’s a tip: Brie also plays “Trudy,” a character on AMC’s “Mad Men.” Maybe Woody Allen could remake the film Zelig with Pudi as the lead. Besides “Community,” Pudi also had a lead role in the 2009 film Road Trip: Beer Pong and you might also recognize him for a certain T-mobile commercial. Pudi is here to promote his upcoming gig as host of “ACME Saturday Night” this Saturday, April 10. You can watch the online comedy TV show streaming live online @ http://www.acmecomedy.com . (Note from Mr. Media: I discovered after the interview that I pronounced Danny's last name wrong throughout the interview. He was too kind to correct me, but I do apologize. It was an honest mistake!)

Today's Guest: Mayim Bialik, actress, "The Big Bang Theory," "Blossom" [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="214"] Mayim Bialik, star of 'The Big Bang Theory' and 'Blossom'[/caption] Order 'The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Fifth Season' from Amazon.com by clicking on the DVD cover above! (2010) To be honest, I didn’t want to play the opening theme from the long-running NBC family series, “Blossom.” But it certainly reminds you of how well known its star, Mayim Bialik, was before she largely dropped out of show business to be a wife and mother, right? MAYIM BIALIK AUDIO EXCERPT: "There are people who are very protective over Sheldon. But what would it look like if there was a possibility of compatibility for Sheldon? To say it's not high on his list of priorities is absolutely true... Anyone, theoretically, can be enticed. Even Sheldon."   Mayim's Vegan Table: More than 100 Great-Tasting and Healthy Recipes from My Family to Yours by Mayim Bialik. Order your copy today by clicking on the book cover above! The actress who once played the young Bette Midler character in the weepy chick flick Beaches is all grown up now and has returned to the small screen in a powerful way in recent months, including episodes of the Brad Garrett Fox comedy ‘Til Death and, probably more importantly, as Sheldon’s blind date on “The Big Bang Theory.” Whoa. Will she be Sheldon's girlfriend in the fall? Is this the biggest development since Schrodinger’s Cat? While we’re all waiting to find out, you’ve got another opportunity to see the many sides of Mayim Bialik. On Saturday, June 19, Mayim will be the celebrity guest host of ACME Saturday Night at the ACME Comedy Theatre in Los Angeles. Show time is 7 p.m. Pacific. Studio tickets are $10 online, $15 at the door. You can order tickets or watch the show live online free: http://www.acmecomedy.com.
