Paul Schaeffer and the World’s Most Dangerous Band are returning to NBC. They will fill in for The Roots next week on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon because the Roots are off working on SNL fifty. The Roots will be the house band for SNL fifty, the homecoming concert on Friday Night, a week from tonight. Paul Schaeffer told Billboard, I’ll be reuniting the world’s most dangerous band for four super fun shows with Jimmy. We hope to finally get right all the mistakes we made with Dave.
They did this once before they were the Tonight shows fill in band once in February of twenty twenty three when the Roots were in La attending the Grammy Awards. Prior to becoming Lutterman’s musical director, Paul Schaeffer was a member of the SNL band for most of its first five years, So that’s all fun. Sticking with late nights. This got announced on probably a too busy of a day to announce it. I hope this doesn’t get swallowed, but the Night of Too Many Stars is coming back.
Night of Too Many Stars benefits Next for Autism, a nonprofit organization that creates and supports programs for people with autism. Was founded by Robert Smigel aka Triumph in two thousand and three following his son’s autism dyke gnosis. Night of Too Many Stars March thirty first will include great lineup here, Ronny Chieng, James Austin Johnson, the police don’t destroy guys, Chris Rock unfortunately, Adam Sandler probably doing comedy. Hopefully he’ll just do a dramatic reading of one of his serious movies and hopefully doesn’t do any comedy. And please, for the love of God, do not do a song.
Sarah Sherman and Max Weinberg. John Stewart will be your host. Now. For some reason, this next group of people don’t make the initial paragraphs, so apparently they are not as famous as the first group. So group two Alex Edelman, Susie Smon, Jeff Gorland, Sam Merrill and quote too many more to come.
That’s exciting, and keep an eye on that one in the four spot today And normally this would be the lead off. That’s why I’m saying it’s such a busy day. The Moontower Comedy Festival announced its full lineup Moontower April ninth through April nineteenth. We are told at the Paramount Theater you’ll see Chris DiStefano. The Paramount will also host performances from Alex Edelman and Janelle James.

Also a partner.

Oh, there are a ton of shows here, all right.
I’m not going to read all these so you get the idea. Hit Austintheatre dot org if you want to get the full schedule, or do what I did and google Moon Tower Comedy schedule and it will come up. It is Super Bowl weekend. In The New York Post caught up with Jeff Ross. He’s doing a Beacher’s Madhouse show.
The Post tells us Beacher’s Manhouse revolutionized live entertainment and first debut at the Theater at MSG in two thousand and two. It is a circus like show that can’t be properly explained without being experienced, although Jeff Ross said it’s a circus inside a comedy show, inside a Pride parade, inside an orgy, inside Super Bowl weekend, all that wrapped up in a one hilarious, amazing night. Ross says Beacher treated me like I was famous before I was famous. That’s one of the reasons we’re friends. On Gossip Corner, TMZ has an update on that Corey Holcom story.
TMZ rides. Christina Paine says Corey Holcomb is lying about their physical altercation outside a popular club. TMZ writes she says he hit her and not the other way around, as Corey’s now claiming TMZ did their TMZ thing, and says our photographer asked her about Corey’s recent legal filing, which was a restraining order request where he ledged she sucker punched him. Christina tells TMZ Corey is flipping the narrative when he’s really the attacker here. Christina claims she’s been beefing with Corey for a dozen years, ever since he offered her a job on a radio show, and says she rebuffed his sexual advances.
She says he threatened to super sock this b word back in June, and she says she has witnesses who heard his alleged threat. We’ll keep an eye on this one, and it was a lot more fun to talk about when we were speculating on why or why not Corey Holcomb’s wrist was broken. A lad Bible covered a story. Apparently Natalie Cuomo got into it with a hackler, and this went somewhat viral eight hundred and sixty five thousand views on TikTok. As the story goes, Natalie was closing out her weekend shows in DC when someone in the front row hit back after she joked that this little man was in a relationship with his friend.
Apparently, Cuomo kept a cool the guy kepped commenting, She amped up and said, there’s so many people coming together to be supportive, and you’re putting negative. The report says. She then continued as she took to shouting in his face, saying, no, look me in the eyes. You’re putting negative effing energy out there. This is the last show my effing weekend.
Look at me in the effing eyes. It’s a sold out show, and you want to say mean stuff to me, don’t effing do that. The audience member ended up leaving and texted his friend to call Cuomo a effing clown. Cuomo read out his messages, including I did warn you I would get kicked out. Okay.
One audience member said I’ve never seen a comedian scream at an audience member because they’re being heckled comedians that can’t take a joke is actually so cringe. Others were more supportive. Let’s head on over to Rotten Tomatoes and check in on Amy Schumer’s Kind of Pregnant. I debuted with a fifteen percent score, with only thirteen reviews from critics generating that score, So the score could fluctuate, could get up into the high nineties, could happen. The audience score started at twenty seven percent, with over one hundred fans weighing in on The film got a press release.
I’m reading this because it’s just vaguely interesting to me. It involves Joe Rogan’s club, so the press release reads. Squat Up, a leading provider of white labeled ticketing and event management solutions, today announced its newest partnership with Comedy Mothership, Joe Rogan’s Austin based flagship comedy club blah blah blah blah. So I’m curious to see what they’re humble bragging about. Mobile first ticketing simplified purchasing and check in processes designed to enhance audience convenience.
Yeah, and then they probably make me put my phone in a bag. Thanks guys. Custom branding a ticketing experience that reflects Comedy Mothership’s unique identity. Fine, this is interesting. I think we could see a lot more of this coming up.
