Sarah Silverman spent a total of 18 episodes as a cast member on Saturday Night Live during its 19th season in 1993-94. Only Ben Stiller (four), Damon Wayans (12), and Paul Shaffer (13) appeared in fewer episodes as cast members and have been asked back to host SNL. Looking back at those 18 episodes, it’s hard […]

Apparently, there is a massive spoiler for Star Wars: Episode VII available on the internet. When I say “massive,” I mean something that could completely ruin your enjoyment of the movie before seeing it. And we’re still 15 months away from Episode VII ‘s Dec. 18, 2015 theatrical release. Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci had someone explain […]

As long as there is television, there will be cop shows. But have there been that many good police comedies on TV? Movies have mastered the “buddy-cop” dynamic for years, so it stands to reason that TV would adapt one of the most popular in recent memory for a possible show. CBS has ordered a pilot […]

If you’re of the opinion that a new Paul Thomas Anderson film is an event and deserves to be anticipated as such, then you are surely excited about the director’s upcoming movie, Inherent Vice. (We would include ourselves in that group here at The AP Party.) Based on the novel by Thomas Pynchon, the noirish […]

During his monologue on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live, host Chris Pratt sang a song about himself. It included the lines, “And I join a list of some amazing hosts/Some of them did not do well/Hopefully I’m not one of those.” While Pratt won’t be joining January Jones or Steven Seagal on that list […]

You may have heard via the internet — or half of the population, depending on your peer group — that Beyonce and Jay-Z were throwing a party on HBO Saturday, with the release of their Jonas Akerlund-directed concert film, On the Run. AP Party writers Steve Lepore and Samantha Murray… did not go to that party […]

I am a Batman fan. Check that: I am a Batman freak. I was never much into comics when I was a kid, but there was something different about Batman. He was endlessly interesting, layered in ways the best literary characters were. Plus, he was just cool. So it probably goes without saying that I […]

At this very early stage of the 2014 fall TV season, one new show that critics loathe is NBC’s The Mysteries of Laura. In the past, that sort of universal deriding might have piqued my curiosity. How bad could it really be, I’d ask myself. Or I’d tune in just to see a train wreck […]

From our fearless editor Ben Koo a few days ago: “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is quickly becoming like The Wire as those who watch believe it’s the best show on TV and those who have never seen it think you’re crazy and will probably never check it out.” Last summer, Jon Stewart took […]
