Fox News said no employee of or freelancer for the network penned jokes for former president Donald Trump’s speech at Thursday night’s Al Smith Dinner fundraiser — contrary to claims Trump made on the network’s air Friday morning.
In an Oct. 18 appearance on “Fox & Friends,” show host Steve Doocy commented to Trump, “Your material is real funny, who wrote it?” (via Mediaite). Trump replied, “Well, I’ve had a lot of people helping, a lot of people. A couple of people from Fox, actually — I shouldn’t say that, but they wrote some jokes, and for the most part, I didn’t like any of them.”
But Fox News said that’s false. “Fox News confirmed that no employee or freelancer wrote the jokes” for Trump, a spokesperson for the network said in a statement to Variety.

It’s part of TV comedy history that Joe Rogan replaced an actor named Greg Lee in the sitcom NewsRadio, making Rogan a household name and setting the stage for Fear Factor and eventual world domination. It would be easy to point an angry finger at Lee, who actually starred in the NewsRadio pilot, for not holding onto the job that would give Rogan a fame foothold. But there was a third comic actor who was cast before Lee. And if Ray Romano could have done a better job of impressing producers, we’d live in a very different timeline.
Yep, it was the future Everybody Loves Raymond star who was first cast as the electrician on NewsRadio. Romano auditioned and got the part in 1994 — only to get fired two days into rehearsals.
What was the problem? Producers felt like Romano’s sleepy line delivery was slowing down the show’s rapid-fire comic pace.

Late-night TV talk shows have gone dark due to the WGA writers strike — well, all except one. Fox News Channel’s “Gutfeld!” (the exclamation point is theirs) will remain on television. Host Greg Gutfeld has non-union writers, IndieWire is told.
Gutfeld’s writing staff is smaller than most traditional late-night talk shows. He’s got some known comedians, including Nick Dipaolo and Joe DeVito, as well as longtime producer Tom O’Connor. Senior producer is Arash Mosaleh; Joe Machi is also on the writing staff.
Some may not consider “Gutfeld!” to hold a place in the long-running stable of comedy talk shows including CBS’ “The Late Show,” NBC’s “Tonight Show” and “Late Night,” ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (exclamation mark also theirs), and Comedy Central’s “Daily Show.” But, like those guys, Gutfeld does topical comedy — he just leans the other way.
Also comparable to the main stable? Greg’s ratings.

Not all the late-night shows have gone dark, it seems.
Gutfeld! will remain on Fox News, airing a new episode Tuesday evening. This comes after the WGA called for a writers strike following breakdown in talks with the studios.
All of the other late-night shows including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Daily Show have halted production.
While Gutfeld!, hosted by Greg Gutfeld, has a smaller team than most of the late-night shows and Gutfeld writes his own monologue, he does have some help from the likes of Nick Dipaolo. Tom O’Connor — who has worked with Gutfeld since his Red Eye days — exec produces, Arash Mosaleh is senior producer, and the writing staff includes Joe DeVito and Joe Machi.
Deadline understands that Gutfeld and his team are not WGA members.

Louis C.K. and the cast of his new film “Fourth of July” gathered for a panel discussion on Thursday night at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan. Directed, written and edited by C.K., the indie drama stars co-writer Joe List, who quipped about C.K.’s fall from grace after the moderator praised C.K. for being able to disappear into his role.
“Well, Louis has disappeared before,” List said, referring to allegations of sexual misconduct brought against C.K. in 2017.
“We’re back, baby!” C.K. responded, prompting the crowd to burst into applause and laughter.
C.K. took a step back from Hollywood after five women came forward with allegations that he undressed and masturbated in front of them. However, C.K. has been trying to revive his career since 2018, embarking on a sold-out comedy tour and releasing two specials, one of which earned him a Grammy for best comedy album this year.

‘Fourth of July’ Review: Louis C.K.’s Home-for-the-Holiday Comedy Sidesteps His Scandal. Or Does It?
“Fourth of July” is a movie directed by Louis C.K., and in its light-spirited and unimportant way it comes at the audience as a kind of moral curveball. Starting less than a year after Nov. 2017, when five women came forward to describe inappropriate conduct by Louis C.K., including instances in which he masturbated in front of them (accusations he did not deny), the comedian, actor, screenwriter, and director has been working to revive his career, kicking off his attempted rehabilitation with an appearance at the Comedy Cellar in New York on Aug. 26, 2018. The arena of stand-up comedy, with its personal and confessional dimensions, presents an obvious way for someone like Louis C.K. to advertise himself, in the wake of his #MeToo downfall, as an entertainer who is still viable. (He won a Grammy for his 2020 comedy album “Sincerely Louis C.K.”) In that sense, all he needs is...

When Louis C.K. attempted to restart his career after his sexual misconduct scandal, he did it gingerly by performing unannounced sets in small comedy clubs. He’s essentially doing the same thing with his return to filmmaking. This low-budget indie dramedy being released in a smattering of movie theaters (as of now, it’s not scheduled to be screened by any of the larger chains) reveals the controversial comic working in an uncharacteristically muted fashion. Lacking the acerbic edge of his brilliant work on the sitcom Louie and web series Horace and Pete, Fourth of July turns out to be something we would have never expected from its director/co-writer — bland.
Partly this seems because he’s working in collaboration with comedian Joe List, who co-wrote the screenplay, executive produced and stars in the lead role of Jeff, a recovering alcoholic and anxiety-ridden jazz pianist.

In an email sent to subscribers of his website, comedian Louis Ck has offered an explanation to fans who purchased the first episode of his new series “Horace and Pete.” Unlike the comic’s FX series “Louie,” a dark comedy, “Horace and Pete” is more of a straight drama. The first episodes runs 67 minutes and was directed by C.K. In the show, he and Steve Buscemi play the owners of a 100-year-old Brooklyn dive bar. Among the co-stars that appear in the first episode are Alan Alda, Jessica Lange, Rebecca Hall, Nick Dipaolo, Kurt Metzger, Steven Wright, Edie Falco and Aidy.

On one of the final episodes of the podcast, a listener asked if there would ever be a surprise TV show release, in the spirit of Wilco or Beyoncé dropping albums without any advance warning. Fienberg and I mused on how difficult this would be to pull off, given the number of collaborators involved in making a TV show, and speculated that even if such a thing could be produced in secret, all involved would want to make sure the world knew of its existence long before it was released. Well, leave it to Louis C.K. — who yesterday morning released the first episode of a new series called Horace and Pete on his website — to make fools of us both. But then, I'm amazed in hindsight that neither of us thought to mention C.K. as the kind of person who might be able to pull this off, given how...

Justified, “The Promise”
Written by Graham Yost & Fred Golan & Dave Andron & Benjamin Cavell
Directed by Adam Arkin
Aired April 14th, 2015 on FX
Over the course of its run, Justified established itself as a top tier drama, which meant that expectations were high going into its sixth and final season. The series finale, however, delivered on several fronts, elevating itself into not only a highlight of the show, but a highlight of the television year as a whole to date. The deft manner in which the episode balances its numerous characters is one of the key ways in which it distinguishes itself. While the finale’s most important showdown is the one between Boyd and Raylan, the writers make sure to give the season’s antagonist Avery Markham his due as well, not diminishing the danger he posed by dismissing him easily.

Louie, Season 5, Episode 5: “Untitled”
Written by Louis C.K.
Directed by Louis C.K.
Airs Thursdays at 10:30pm Et on FX
It’s generally assumed that Louie takes place within the mental confines of its titular character, but there’s never been an episode quite as doggedly insular as “Untitled,” which places Louie within a cascading nightmare he can’t seem to escape. It’s never boring, but it turns out that literalizing the series’ sense of surreality only serves to emphasize how awkward it can be when C.K. pushes the show’s stylistic boundaries too far. “Untitled” frequently threatens to tip over into outright self-parody. For those who find Louie to be too self-determined for its own good – and those people do exist – “Untitled” is the new Exhibit A.
Things start out harmlessly enough, with Louie at the Comedy Cellar, telling an unusally hacky joke about beekeeping (our...

Amy Schumer devoted an entire episode of her Comedy Central show Tuesday to answering one very important question: Is Amy Schumer hot enough to be on TV? In a spoof the classic film “12 Angry Men,” Schumer recruited Jeff Goldblum, Paul Giamatti, John Hawkes, Nick Dipaolo and eight others to settle the question of her hotness once and for all. Even Dennis Quaid, who recently made headlines for a viral Funny or Die prank, makes an appearance. Tempers flared as most believed Schumer is not hot, with Hawkes casting the lone dissenting vote. The men are outraged but soon begin to.

Last night's episode of Inside Amy Schumer pushed the show's gutsy, bawdy brilliance to a new level of sustained excellence. "12 Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer" took over the whole episode, and it offered a pretty brutal send-up of the kinds of misogynistic vitriol famous women face. It's also an excellent re-creation of its source material: This is an incredibly specific parody, with staging, costuming, and props exactly mimicking the 1957 classic. Right down to the switchblades! Well, almost. The cross-fade from the courtroom into the jury room is a perfect match ... The title design, too. Jeff Goldblum's tie-with-a-polo-shirt outfit looks familiar. As do Kumail Nanjiani's suspenders and body language. Same for Henry Zebrowski. The guy just wants to go to the Blake Shelton concert! Er ... baseball game. Let's take a quick poll. Nick Dipaolo absolutely nails Lee J. Cobb's look and mannerisms. Switchblades, dildos ... Has the...

This morning, I published my interview with Amy Schumer about tonight's "12 Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer" parody, which focused on the origins and themes of the episode-length sketch. Now it's time to hear from Ryan McFaul, who co-directed the episode with Schumer, and who speaks more about the technical end of things, including which parts of the Sidney Lumet film they were and weren't able to work into their episode. "12 Angry Men" is one of those movies where whenever I come across it on cable, I have to watch until the end. What was your experience with it before this episode came about? Ryan McFaul: I'm a serious film nerd. I probably first saw it when I was 15 or 16, at the point when I was first falling romantically in love with cinema, and starting to learn about visual storytelling, and the way pictures can make a story powerful. It's one of those classic examples,...

On a season already full of boldly feminist sketches, Tuesday night's episode of Inside Amy Schumer was the boldest yet: an episode-long parody of 12 Angry Men in which male stars like John Hawkes, Paul Giamatti, Vincent Kartheiser, and Jeff Goldblum debated the important question of whether Schumer is hot enough to be on TV. "It's a theme that has been kind of ever-present on the show — women constantly being evaluated and the sort of rage men have for anyone who is not a '10,'" Schumer told Vanity Fair. "People were so mad about Lena [Dunham] taking her clothes off ... there is like this weird anger towards women who feel comfortable in their own skin and aren’t afraid to show it." In this clip, Hawkes, Kartheiser, and Nick Dipaolo define the concept of "reasonable chub."...

We know that "Inside Amy Schumer" can do great parodies, and it can do biting social commentary, and that it has a gift for hiding the latter inside the former. That's been apparent throughout its run, and early in the Comedy Central sketch show's great third season, which has featured a dead-on "Friday Night Lights" parody that was really about rape culture, as well as last week's "One Direction" spoof about women who don't need makeup. Tonight's remarkable episode (it airs, like usual, at 10:30) takes both sides of the show to an extreme. Titled "12 Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer," it's an episode-length parody of Reginald Rose's classic play "12 Angry Men" (and particularly of the staging of the 1957 Sidney Lumet film version) in which the jurors — played by Jeff Goldblum (the foreman), John Hawkes (the crusading hold-out) and Paul Giamatti and Nick Dipaolo (the two bullying loud mouths), among...

There are so many chicken jokes this season. After Amia goes to see Louie perform at the Cellar and deflects some leering, perverted comments from Jim Norton, she crowds around the table with Louie, Nick Dipaolo, Greg Fitzsimmons, and Todd Barry for dinner. Everyone talks around her, mostly about how lonely Louie will be when she leaves, with Fitzsimmons chiming in that Louie is actually afraid to be lonely. It would explain why he usually ends up on the batshit-crazy end of the dating spectrum; people who are afraid to be alone would rather have chaos than the empty maw of their own thoughts staring back at them. Louie is usually alone, but being alone is different from being lonely. All of this in-depth philosophical conversation is set to the soundtrack of Todd Barry saying “AIDS” to the tune of “Smoke on the Water” while drumming on the table. Of...

I’ve always liked Louie, because as funny as it can be at times, the show has a darker tinge to it that makes it more of a drama at times than anything else. That appeals to me in a nutshell. To me, there’s always something compelling about the darker side of comedy and I find that Louis C.K, in his standup and the series, navigates that sweet spot with aplomb that ensures that both elements mesh well without feeling like one gets leaned on rather than the other. Sometimes, you get episodes like “Subway/Pamela” or “God,” that really hint at a deep romanticism and deep theological meanings that can be mined from a 20 minute comedy-drama. And other times, you get “Pregnant,” which is just one long set-up to a well-timed fart joke.

Louis C.K. wrote and directed the black and white film Tomorrow Night way back in 1998. On Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at 12 Noon Est he’s putting it online. The stand-up comedian, writer, actor, star of the FX comedy series Louie, and yacht owner worked the festival circuit years ago when he first made the flick, but was never able to find a distributor despite having what would now be considered an all-star cast. Recognizable names like Amy Poehler, Steve Carell, J.B. Smoove, Nick Dipaolo, and Conan O’Brien all make appearances in the film. Here’s the trailer: Tomorrow Night will be available for a $5 download on Louis C.K.’s website in what is now a relatively commonplace distribution strategy that C.K. first popularized. In late 2011, the Hollywood multi-hyphenate put his Louis C.K Live At the Beach Theater online with a $5 price tag.

After hinting earlier this month that he planned to self-release his directorial debut, "Tomorrow Night," comedian Louis C.K. is making good on that promise, announcing that the film will be available for purchase on his website this week.
During an appearance on "The Late Show With David Letterman" Monday night, C.K. confirmed the news, telling the host that fans can visit LouisCK.net and download the movie for $5 beginning Wednesday at noon. The film, which was screened at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, never found distribution and was never released.
"Tomorrow Night" boasts an impressive array of now-famous actors who were just getting started when C.K., then a writer for Conan O'Brien, was pulling the film together. It stars O'Brien, Amy Poehler, Steve Carell, J.B. Smoove, Todd Barry, Nick Dipaolo, Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, Wanda Sykes, and Robert Smigel.

Louis Ck’s eclectic, funny, honest series Louie finally starts in the UK tonight. Here’s why it’s worth your time…
In 2010, stand-up and comedy writer Louis Ck told FX head John Landgraf that he didn’t want to be Charlie Sheen. This was in the pre-tiger blood days, when Sheen was the face of mainstream Us TV comedy and drawing $1.8million per episode of CBS’ Two and a Half Men. At that time, Ck was being wooed by the major networks and having $400 grand personal pay cheques waved under his nose to come up with a sitcom pilot.
The deal Ck reached with FX was for half that amount, a sum that wasn’t just to cover his fee, but the costs of the entire production: cast, crew, sets, helicopter stunts… the whole shebang. Ck’s proviso? He be given the money and left...

Here it is. The final installment of an epic three-part story arc, "The Late Show (Part 3)." Crazy how this Isn’T the finale. How Louie could give us one more episode after this is more than a little baffling.
It just seems like the perfect way to go out – at least, from what we expect. What do we expect? For me, I was prepared to witness something heart-wrenching and demoralizing. To see Louie’s world crumble, shot down in flames. What I got was something, for the most part, very un-Louie-like.
The opening music indicates there’s more abuse and hopeless sorrow in store for Louie. But, after a few bars, it switches to a slightly more upbeat tune. Luckily, his daughters are there to bring whatever endorphin rush Louie got from jogging back down to Earth. Yet it shows the swing in his mood. In the previous two parts,...

The final chapter of the epic “Late Show” trilogy was a riveting one. Turns out Bane breaks Louie’s back and Doug ends up taking his place as the dark protector of masturbation jokes…wait, no; that was something else.
“Late Show Part 3” actually was a very satisfying conclusion to an arc that, while executed very well, I had a somewhat hard time really getting behind. As I had previously noted, it was somewhat strange watching Louie struggle to fit a mold which seemed frankly very much beneath him. Of course I also concluded that the slightly fictionalized Louie is not the Louis C.K. we know whose recent success has earned him his own clout in the world of entertainment. Nevertheless it was still a bit jarring to watch.

There was another cold open on "Dad." It was a long one, and it portended what the show had in store for us, as Louie was actually awfully strange until he received a phone call.
It was from Uncle Exclesior (a Latin word meaning "ever upward" and is often used as an interjection – an appropriate name we’ll soon discover) and it offended the electronics store employee.
But Louie dismisses him, causing the employee to place a box on the ground behind Louie as he talks on the phone. Uncle Excelsior announces he’s coming to New York and wants to meet Louie at the Russian Tea Room. Stunned, Louie turns and falls over the box.
Determined to not let it go (a theme that grows and festers like a tumor as we approach the episode’s conclusion), Louie complains to the manager, only to be ridiculed once the transgression...

Arguably the best comedians are the ones who can catch you by surprise with a well-timed punch line you never saw coming. Of course there are those who rely more on absurd situations or keen observations, but even then that element of surprise plays a part. Nick Di Paolo has traces of that running through his Raw Nerve stand-up special, but the biggest surprise is how quickly he turns from a politically magnanimous comedian into one with an acidic tongue and a downright hateful edge to all his lines. His gruffly spoken sarcastic barbs start off neutral enough, but then he takes a quick turn into politics and his routine can easily alienate the portion of his audience that doesn’t agree with him.

Exclusive: Following his recent exit from New Wave Entertainment, veteran comedy talent manager Barry Katz is going solo again with the relaunch of Barry Katz Entertainment. All of Katz’s clients at New Wave will follow him to the new company including Jay Mohr, Christopher Titus, Bill Bellamy, Paul Rodriguez, Cheri Oteri, Nick Dipaolo and Faizon Love. Katz ran his original Barry Katz Entertainment for 15 years before selling it to New Wave at the end of 2003. Over the past eight years, he was involved in New Wave’s transformation into a full-service talent management, digital distribution, and production company with over 25 managers, producers, and development executives. The two sides parted ways last month when Katz’s contract was up. “After being a part of creating a different kind of management company — one that combined representation and production — I wanted to get back to focus less on the issues of a large company,...

Exclusive: Artie Lange is closing a deal to make his return to radio. Lange is teaming with fellow stand-up comic Nick Dipaolo for The Nick and Artie Show, a sports-themed talk show that will broadcast weeknights from 10 Pm-1 Am East Coast time. The plan is to launch October 3, and it will also be taped for broadcast on DirecTV later on. They hope to roll out cross-country, and will start in between 20 and 30 markets. Their deals are worth high six-figures. It’s a three-year commitment and the total value of the deal is in excess of $3 million, I’m told. Lange returns to the airwaves in regular rotation for the first time since he left under tragic circumstances. Lange replaced Jackie Martling as writer and on-air sidekick to Howard Stern, and his blue-collar sensibility and quick wit made him a popular part of the show. But he also spoke openly about his problems with depression,...

Howard Stern opened up about former sidekick Artie Lange on his Sirius Xm radio show, getting angry at a caller who wanted gory details about Lange’s gruesome January 2010 suicide attempt.
The stand-up comedian and radio personality repeatedly stabbed himself with a kitchen knife, before being found in his Hoboken, N.J. apartment by his mother, barely clinging to life. It was the culmination of years of personal drama, much of it aired publicly on The Howard Stern Show, involving major drug abuse and erratic behavior.

Louis C.K. is one of Monsters and Critcs' favorite comedians, and the success of his latest FX Show, 'Louie,' makes us swell inappropriately with pleasure. We even loved his HBO sitcom, "Lucky Louie," with the fierce diva Pamela Adlon (also a producer on 'Louie') kneecapped after only one season. C.K. addresses all the malaise and angst any middle-aged person can relate to with a crackin' cast of Colin Quinn 'Tough Crowd' alums like Robert Kelly and Nick Dipaolo.

This week's episode of Louie was as random, hilarious and unique as the FX show's opening pair last Tuesday.
Ricky Gervais guest-starred as the most inappropriate doctor in television history, diagnosing Louie with AIDS by looking into his eyes and then laughing uproariously over the comedian's naked body. Specifically, Louie's penis. His ugly, ugly, ugly penis.
Standing in front of his patient, Gervais' doctor said: "This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me, and my dad hung himself in front of me, while masturbating."
From there, Louis added a dose of politically incorrect humor, focusing on how black people don't tip.
We were then treated to a semi-serious conversation between Louie and fellow comic Nick Dipaolo (the homophobic poker player from last week's second episode), as Louie said he'd eat out Obama's asshole... not because he's gay, but just to be a part of history.

Chicago – Comedian Louis C.K. is an undeniably talented and very funny man but can he carry his own show? Most of his best work has been behind-the-scenes as a writer on shows like “The Chris Rock Show” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” but he had at attempt at sitcom stardom with HBO’s “Lucky Louie” and FX has given him a second shot with the inconsistent-but-quickly-improving “Louie.” Don’t judge this show on the very mediocre premiere episode. Like many comedian’s stand-up acts, it takes some time to find its rhythm but subsequent episodes provide a lot to like.
