<p>Monday May 10 2010  The Origin of Debbie Downer Raises the Possiblity of an SNL Multiverse</p>
<p>Monday, May 10, 2010 at 12:16PM In this weekend's stellar SNL, a number of sketches were posted to Hulu that would have been left on the dress rehearsal floor, including THE WOLVERINE ORIGIN FOR SNL NERDS, aka the origin of Debbie Downer.</p>

<p>It's nice to see these dress clips even though they're basically flashing sideways like they do on LOST and creating AN SNL MULTIVERSE that sort of exists but not really. Will we be expected to know facts about these sketches for future genuses of Trivial Pursuit: Saturday Night Live? Please advise.</p>

<p>Regardless, NBC honcho @shoemakermike suggests that everybody "Please RT to make Debbie Downer from Dress go VIRAL. http://bit.ly/bi8fZf Dratch & Paula wrote it brilliantly."</p>

<p>Friday, May 7, 2010 at 4:31PM For the 2nd time in a year, the Barry Horowitz of beer pong jobbers, Betty White, suffered a humiliating loss to her opponent, Jimmy Fallon, on Late Night. She loses so much the Detroit Lions cheer themselves up by saying, "Hey, at least we're not Betty White!" I'm almost embarrassed to wear my Betty White jersey around town. Get your head in the game, lady!</p>

<p>Friday, April 23, 2010 at 1:32PM  Ellie Kemper as Erin Hallon Zach Woods as Gabe Lewis</p>

<p>And just like that, during last night's episode of The Office ("Secretary's Day," Season 6, Episode 22), we watched Ellie Kemper and Zach Woods become bona fide comedy stars. In many ways, it felt like a coming out party in which both actors showcased for the rest of the world the same comedy chops we've been admiring on the improv stage these many years. So from here on out, we're fully expecting to one day be standing on a subway platform, listening to Cut Copy and seeing their friendly faces staring back at us from movie posters. If you haven't seen last night's Office episode, just watch it and you'll know what we mean.</p>

<p>Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 11:30AM</p>

<p>All you tongue waggers out there wondering, "Does Queen Latifah sort of love dudes?" OR "Is she TOTALLY into dudes?," well here's your proof right here in this candid photograph we took. Look at how much she enjoys that professional athlete pressing his organ into the crest of her sweatpants-covered buttocks as they tussle for "a basketball," an overt symbol of her lovebox. Sure she's playing hard to get, but they're both so into it! And why wouldn't he like her? She must've spent countless evenings with her personal trainer, sweating, glistening, and massaging each other in order to get her body into the kind of shape that a baller with access to any woman in the world would lust for. These two make a nice couple.</p>

<p>Monday, April 19, 2010 at 3:40PM The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Improv Everywhere's chief commander, Charlie Todd, is one of the EPs of a prank show under development for CBS starring Drew Carey. The show is being produced by RelativityReal, the reality arm of Relativity Media.</p>

<p>> CBS is developing a hidden-camera show starring Drew Carey.</p>
<p>> The host of "The Price Is Right" host is teaming with producer Tom Forman for a project with the working title "WTF!" -- which in this case stands for "Wow That's Funny!" "WTF" shot a pilot presentation Saturday in which Carey and a troop of comedic agents wreck havoc in public places.</p>
<p>> The project combines a hidden-camera show with flash-mob tactics as the group pulls benevolent pranks on deserving citizens.</p>

<p>Monday, April 12, 2010 at 12:04PM  Justin Bieber and Kenan Thompson backstage at SNL | Pic via @justinbieber In case you were wondering how Justin Bieber got on SNL, there wasn't a ravenous sharkpool of agents and lawyers and promoters and hairstylists shoving him from one car to the next, it was pretty much single-handedly the incessant twittering of @bieberonSNL that landed him on the show, claims @bieberonSNL, a teenage girl named Alex Buchinski. Once it was announced that her dream of making someone who's famous even more famous had been realized, there was just one little problem: No one invited her to Justin Bieber's SNL tapings! Et tu, Bieber?? Feeling cast aside like a bag of Taco Bell litter along the road to fame, Alex was sad, demoralized, and had nowhere to turn but Twitter.</p>

<p>She moped around all Saturday evening:</p>

<p>> "no i'm not going to SNL alot of people are asking me and I'm sick of saying I'm not going becuase it really brings me down."</p>

<p>Then, she was dealt an earth-shattering blow:</p>

<p>> "R U SERIOUS BIEBERARMY GOT FREE TIX?! R U KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? NOO LIKE WTF?!"</p>

<p>So she got all up in Bieberarmy's face, in a passive aggressive kind of way:</p>

<p>> "RT @TheMrsJBieber: Even though we all know @BieberOnSNL deserves to be at SNL more than BieberArmy, lets make #BieberOnSNL trend"</p>

<p>Turned out to be a rumor so she calmed down. But her fate began to sink in, would she end up watching SNL like a normal person who barely knows what a Justin Bieber is--someone who did nothing to make him a superstar??:</p>

<p>> "I honestly think I should be at SNL.. like idk I just think that I did Sooo much"</p>

<p>She watched SNL and enjoyed it, begrudgingly. As bedtime approached, she realized that her precious blessings (bah!) would have to suffice:</p>

<p>> "it's ok.. my tome will come and if it doesn't it's ok.. people have it SOOO much more worse.. I'm sorry. good night. I love u guys thanks(:"</p>

<p>Now that her single-purpose Twitter handle has been made irrelevant, could there be any upside to this horribly depressing tragedy of teen fanaticism? There actually was! She was invited to New York City by JB's people on Sunday for a private concert exclusively for Bieberserkers.</p>

<p>QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION</p>

<p>* Will crying get you everywhere??</p>

<p>* If so, where are OUR SNL TICKETS?? Waaaaah!!</p>

<p>The Apiary | Post a Comment tagged Alex Buchinski , Justin Bieber , SNL in Hard Hitting Journalism , TV/Film Friday Apr 02 2010  New Details on Penelope Princess of Pets UK Premiere</p>
<p>Friday, April 2, 2010 at 12:48PM Details are emerging on the highly anticipated UK premiere of Penelope Princess of Pets. We've obtained a British press release that's so British, Jon Oliver should be here to explain it all.</p>

<p>> Edinburgh Comedy Award nominees KRISTEN SCHAAL (star of BBC Four’s Flight of the Conchords and US Esquire's 'Funniest Woman on Television') and KURT BRAUNOHLER are joined by The Mighty Boosh’s JULIAN BARRATT in Penelope Princess of Pets, a one-off special for Channel 4’s Comedy Lab which will transmit on April 26th 2010.</p>
<p>> Meet Penelope (KRISTEN SCHAAL), a young lady with a very special power... When Penelope became a woman, she discovered that she could talk to more than just people - she could talk to animals. But as any hero knows, with great power comes great responsibility and now Penelope’s gift has taken her, along with her orphan friend Kyle (KURT BRAUNOHLER) and bird Ruby, all the way to England where the trio have only 3762 hours to save the world from the evil MP Thomas Stone (JULIAN BARRATT).</p>
<p>> In an epic battle of brain and brawn - that takes in Shakespeare, stately homes, dastardly schemes and martial arts trained fighting twins - will Penelope and Kyle's ingenuity, along the help of their animal friends (featuring the voices of DANIEL KITSON and Peep Show's ISY SUTTIE) be enough to save the day?</p>
<p>> Penelope Princess of Pets is written by KRISTEN SCHAAL and KURT BRAUNOHLER and produced by SPENCER MILLMAN (Harry Hill’s TV Burp, Bo’ Selecta! and The Mighty Boosh).</p>
<p>> KRISTEN and KURT recently appeared in a prestigious "Comedy Central Presents" in the USA, are winners of the Melbourne Comedy Festival’s Barry Award, and have developed a large cult following in New York for their wildly popular variety show, Hot Tub (named Time Out New York’s Best Variety Show).</p>
<p>> British TV audiences will know KRISTEN from transmissions of The Daily Show (More Four) and Flight of the Conchords (BBC Four), as well as appearances on Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC Two) and The Secret Policeman’s Ball (Channel 4). She will be voicing a new character in the eagerly anticipated Toy Story 3 movie (also starring TOM HANKS) and in the latest Shrek movie, Shrek Forever After, and is set to feature (alongside RUSSELL BRAND) in the forthcoming JUDD APATOW film Get Him To The Greek. Other recent film roles have seen KRISTEN perform opposite DREW BARRYMORE and JUSTIN LONG (Going The Distance), ANJELICA HUSTON and DANNY DE VITO (When In Rome), and JEREMY PIVEN in the WILL FERRELL produced The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard. Recently named The Funniest Woman on Television by US Esquire, the past year has seen KRISTEN feature in Entertainment Weekly’s Next Big Things in Comedy end of year issue and Entertainment Weekly’s 25 funniest women in Hollywood as well as the 2009 Variety Top 10 Comics To Watch. This spring she will support Flight of the Conchords on their European live tour.</p>
<p>> Penelope Princess of Pets transmits on Channel Four on Monday 26th April 2010</p>
