But Vanessa, Kate, and Cecily (even Nasim, who at this point is likely to return) are all very strong, especially for a show that in recent years is defined by how kick-ass the female cast is.

There is no way they'll ever hire anyone directly to the main cast again. They seem to be pretty set on their method of strictly hiring as "featured" and then bumping up after two years (or one in...

I think because it's really funny in an exciting, different, and real way.

It's been a while since I've posted any updates from The Late Live Show, so I thought I'd share some clips. We're currently at the iO Theater in Chicago for our sixth and final season, and the show...

Hey guys!

Some of you may be aware that I've been hosting a late-night talk show in Chicago for the...

Hey AST, this is the SHOW FOR YOU, so I hope you're getting your tickets while you still can.

Rory Scovel! You love him, and he'll be in your town.

The Lincoln Lodge (on Irving Park & Damen & Lincoln)

Four shows, Friday and Saturday 2/15 & 2/16, 8 & 10 pm

Tickets are $15 and...

Man, this made me laugh hard.

I really liked this episode. Lincoln of course was a standout, but I thought Mountain Pass, Hotel Fees, and Last Call were the type of bizarre sketches you'd see in an early '90s SNL episode. Also, I...

You know him, you love him! Come see Nick Thune do a real headlining set for cheap at one of the most charming venues in town.

This Saturday at 8 at The Lincoln Lodge

I thought it was funny how much Big Bird, a giant puppet, wanted to make eye contact with Seth.

According to the NY Times, another Chicagoan (Cecily Strong) is joining the cast this season!

They are both crazy funny, and also wonderful, kind human beings. This is great news for the planet Earth.

I know in the '80s there was a year that all five Supporting Actor in a Drama nominees were from Hill Street Blues. As for Comedy though, Cheers came close with Wendt, Ratzenberger,...

From what I understand, the head writer is a leading voice in the direction of the show. Primarily, I guess that would be in picking the sketches, as well as making decisions in terms of rewrites....

Three Dead is doing a showcase tonight FYI. Don't think the standard open mic rules will be applied.

Dan, that lineup is so crazy! Congrats on getting to be a part of it.

I also hear that the Set List shows tonight and tomorrow at The Lincoln Lodge have some pretty insane comedians on it. I'll...

Just posting these things because I think people will like them. Every show we do is preceded by a "warm-up" character. Here are two of our favorites:

Dear internet,

Some people like this show. I am one of them.

Thanks,

Hey! This thing that I do is back, and we're being much better about posting clips. Below is a video from last week's episode that I think a lot of AST users will like:

This movie is really funny, and the supporting cast is like a comedy nerd's dream team.

Uh... people "talking funny" is what I like most about nearly all comedy.
