Monty Python star fronted his titular event, John Cleese in Conversation, at SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, on March 11 – alongside fellow comedians Dulcé Sloan, Jim Gaffigan, and Ricky Velez.According to the Hollywood Reporter Cleese, along with his fellow comics, discussed colonisation in the talk.‘[People] get competitive about this business of being oppressed,’ the Rat Race actor said. ‘You do know the British have been slaves twice, right.’The publication claims that members of the audience were uncomfortable over the comments, reporting that while some were ‘laughing and applauding, some weren’t, and it was hard to know how exactly to take it’.In an attempt to stop the actor from saying more, Sloan reportedly took away Cleese’s microphone, and told the audience: ‘I saved a comic whose career I respect.’Next time the Editor of the Hollywood Reporter sends someone to review a Comedy Festival he would do well to send a reporter with a sense of humourOtherwise it’s like sending someone deaf to review a concertQuite right, Sajid.

Linoleum is certainly something of a curiosity as it strives to use a simple premise to explore, however subtly, themes of loss, identity, and fulfilling a dream of a suburban husband and father who finds a space age satellite drop out of the sky and into his backyard fueling his lost ambition of becoming an astronaut and building a homemade rocket to do just that.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaJim Gaffigan has had a very busy pandemic. The fruits of his COVID-era labors are on display recently in two distinctive projects that illustrate the size and scope of his ambitions.First, there’s his recently released special “Comedy Monster,” a filmed version of his stand-up act that quickly became a ratings juggernaut for Netflix (more on that later).Then there’s “Linoleum,” an off-beat dramedy that premieres March 12 at SXSW and showcases a much more understated Gaffigan doing double duty, playing both a children’s TV host named Cameron and a charming NASA scientist called Kent. Both projects were conceived and shot as the world was grappling with its new masked reality.

Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania: Transformania has been granted an April 3 theatrical release date in China. Sony last summer licensed the fourth installment in the successful franchise to Amazon worldwide, but retained China rights.

After being online over the last two years because of Covid, SXSW’s film lineup returns with a vibrant in-person edition for its 29th 2022 edition, running March 11-20, 2022; teed off with the types of rollercoaster, Hollywood event films that the event is known to spur great national buzz for.

shortlist for best comedy album at the Grammys? I’ve not, in the past, given the award much attention. The Edinburgh comedy award is more my world, and I’ll be running screaming back to it, great carnival of creativity that it is, after engaging with the comic sensibility of America’s Recording Academy which is, well, a mite conservative.

We think it’s safe to say that Leslie Jones was more excited than any other winner at the 2020 People’s Choice Awards!

Jim Gaffigan is going viral for his searing criticism of Donald Trump and the “wake up” message he sent to the president’s supporters after the final night of the 2020 Republican National Convention.

It’s safe to say that Jim Gaffigan, 54, isn’t a fan of Donald Trump, 74. He went off on the Commander in Chief in a set of late night tweets on Thursday, August 27, as the RNC was going on. “RIP Truth,” was the first thing he wrote before repeatedly slamming him about how he “lies” constantly. He also took shots at Ivanka Trump & her husband Jared Kushner, saying, “Think they are on your side? Do you think they’ve ever done a real days work in their lives. Wake up.”

On March 11,comedian Jim Gaffigan was in Bogotá, Colombia, in the midst of his worldwide Pale Tourist tour when he received a call from his manager that Argentina was closing its borders in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, and his upcoming show there was canceled. He had a choice: fly to São Paulo, Brazil, for his next appearance or go straight back to the United States in case borders started closing. He opted to go home to New York City, mainly because leaving his wife alone with their five kids “would be cruel,” he jokes. He performed his show that night and flew out the next day; hours later borders around the world began closing while edicts were issued for schools and businesses to shut down. 

Jim Gaffigan almost didn't make it home to the United States as the coronavirus pandemic swiftly took force and prompted borders to close while he was touring in South America. The comedian, 53, detailed the anxiety-inducing experience to Yahoo's Build Series, stressing that he cut his tour short in order to reunite with his wife, Jeannie, and their five kids in the United States.

Jim Gaffigan is set to star as one of Toronto’s most controversial public figures in a new limited series.
