Director @paulfeig reveals the original Vegas stripper sequence that was planned before he nixed it to avoid comparisons to "The Hangover": "I said, 'Well, maybe they just shouldn’t get there. Maybe it should all fall apart on the plane'" trib.al/x8zyWf3
Over the course of five seasons and 50 episodes on “Broad City,” there are still so many things that Abbi Jacobson still can’t believe she and her co-creator, co-star, and real-life best friend Ilana Glazer got away with trib.al/7IfZgsl
But as Jacobson explains on this week’s episode of #TheLastLaugh podcast with @mattwilstein, the moment that still makes her laugh out loud with disbelief is when her character made a deeply personal admission to Hillary Clinton: "It’s just so unreal" trib.al/7IfZgsl
Since "Broad City's" end just over two years ago, Jacobson has embarked on her own professional journey. Now, she is co-creating and co-starring in a new serialized version of "A League of Their Own" for Amazon, which proudly embraces “queerness” trib.al/7IfZgsl

Quinn also reflects on the first few years of his career: "Comedians were so nice to me. I was a nobody and they were regulars at these clubs and they were just like, wow. And the crowd was like, no laughs." me.trib.al/MxeKspP
David Cross spends several minutes of his most recent stand-up special "Oh Come On" imagining the various ways that Trump’s presidency could end.
“Will he be assassinated by a group of caring nuns?” he asks. The fantasies only get darker from there. trib.al/xftIewp

Now that it’s actually happening, @davidcrosss tells @mattwilstein on #TheLastLaugh podcast that he can’t bring himself to dance in the streets.

The pandemic isn’t exactly helping either.
“I tried two outdoor COVID-friendly shows and it just didn’t work,” Cross says. “I just have to wait to get back into those sweaty, basement, we’re-all-crammed-together Brooklyn bars to get the work done.” trib.al/xftIewp

“I wasn’t trying to troll them, but it felt like I did,” Kondabolu continues. “They’re not supposed to respond to me. That’s an indication that you couldn’t handle the criticism…It’s really kinda shitty.” trib.al/JQVio0i
What else does he think is a “crock of shit”? Undecided voters.
“If you are undecided a month out, after four years?” he asks, expressing his disdain for the president. “What needed to happen short of ’Donald Trump came to my house and killed my family?’” trib.al/JQVio0i
