What would you do if I sang out of tune? I’d tell you to shut up because we have actor and director Fred Savage on the show and he’s giving us secrets and scoops from the set of The Wonder Years as well as NBC’s Best Friends Forever, which he directed. We’ve also invited a couple of Fred’s fans to join us, Pam and Len Bicell, who treat us to some sensual fan-fiction and an equally sensual round of Would You Rather?! Now make like Fred Savage and vote for Comedy Bang Bang in The Comedy Awards!

Jon Daly is back with a vengeance! Rafflecast is back and is bringing you more sketches, impressions, songs, and celebrity guests like Rob Huebel!

This week’s Sklarbro Country will fill you up with comedy like a one-pound hot dog will with cholesterol! Saturday Night Live’s Taran Killam makes his maiden voyage to the calming shores and brings with him behind-the-scenes stories and audition tales that SNL die-hards have to hear. From his Sklar-esque characters to his hilarious Tim Tebow sketch, he gives us great insight into the comedy institution. We also have a call with Gary Busey who didn’t get the memo about our awesome SXSW show with Ryan Stout and The Sheepdogs. He should head over to the Earwolf Store and pick up the show (including video) for $4.99, and you should too! And while you’re at it, cast your vote for Sklarbro Country in The Comedy Awards. HENDERSON!

Michael McMillian is super talented, crazy funny, AND a Laimewad! He’s awesome on True Blood, but he’s even better in our living room discussing UFOs, botox, name changing and lying. He even mediates as it gets a little heated between hosts. We loved having him on and we know you’ll love hearing him. Enjoy!

March 30, 2012

What a cutie we have for you this week! Natasha Leggero is absolutely darling, and despite the fact that she insisted on discussing disgusting issues of sanitation with us, we still love her and would love to have her as a Facebook friend. Enjoy!

March 30, 2012

Have a snack and drink some juice before you tune in this week. On this episode of Two Charted we get a dizzying look at Howard’s medical past with his Top 5 Fainting Spells Chart. Kulap keeps it classic with her chart which examines the top tunes, flicks, and television shows of the week. From “girl rock” to Kulap’s non-crush on Don Draper, we’re counting it all down and we want you to join us! That is, if you aren’t feeling too weak.

Today’s improv4humans will be with you for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, even if you have your genitals ripped off, and even if you have your eyes replaced with baby eyes. Isn’t that what love really is? Our guests are Seth Morris, Brian Huskey, and Lauren Lapkus who treat you to a round of improv more exciting than a helicopter ride and more erotic than a rainbow blow job.  Be sure to pick up an improv4humans shirt from the Earwolf Store and follow @MattBesser on Twitter to send in your improv suggestions. Music by Bobby Matthews and Dragoon.

You don’t have to be a fifty-something year old Jewish woman to enjoy this episode, but if you are we welcome you! Our guests are the fabulous Ronna Glickman and Beverly Ginsburg, authors of You’ll Do a Little Better Next Time:  A Guide to Marriage and Remarriage for Jewish Singles and hosts of their very own Earwolf podcast Ronna & Beverly. The ladies join us for a look at the iTunes Top 5 Country Singles Chart, our good old Movies Chart, and a game of Chart Roulette. If you’re curious about your great-aunt’s take on The Hunger Games or want to what know your sweet older neighbor thinks of Carrie Underwood, this is as close as you could possibly get without actually talking to them.

March 27, 2012

Don’t listen to this episode unless you’re prepared to get Tig’d! This week we find out what’s up with astrobiology from the ever-giggly Emily Rittershaus. From tuberculosis to ice people, we learn about the little creatures living in our bodies and in the bottom of the ocean. So, in a nutshell: We have a great new Professor Blastoff!

March 27, 2012

Oh, Abduction. We laughed, we cried (at least Jason did), we got uncomfortable, we were confused. Jessica Chaffin is our guest this week to unwrap the layers of awfulness that awarded Abduction its 4% score on Rotten Tomatoes. From the Pittsburghian influence to the subtle racism, we’re here to try to make sense of it all. Rent Abduction from Amazon using this link to support the show, and join us for this train-ride to mediocrity.

It’s a tale as old as time: A precocious orphan with a heart of gold and a love for musical theater meets a living legend of Broadway. Such is the story of Fourvel and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, an unlikely pair who met during today’s Comedy Bang Bang. Are things going to change for the better for Fourvel? Will Lord ALW’s television debut be a SMASH hit? When are we recording this episode? All of these questions and more will be answered right here on Comedy Bang Bang!

We all love Ellie Kemper. From The Office to Bridesmaids, her cheery smile has brightened big screens and now we’re using her melodious voice to talk about pole dancing, coach punching, and fish advocating. Ellie has traveled from St. Louis to Princeton to New York to Los Angeles and now it’s time for her to vacation in Sklarbro Country! Speaking of vacations, we’re got an awesome band in the studio this week by the name of Vacationer whose island style and briefcase tapping are the perfect foil to Jesse Ventura who joins us to discuss his recent fisticuffs. If you live in Philadelphia, it’s not too early to pick up tickets to see Randy and Jason at Helium on April 12-14. HENDERSON!

March 23, 2012

We’re so happy Jamie Lee is in town! The New York comedian and actress is in LA for pilot season and we’re thrilled to have her on the show to talk about sex and poop and bugs and drugs. You know, the usual. You guys are just going to love this funny lady, we swear on the lives of our Facebook friends! Enjoy!

Following the tragedy that is Tim Tebow going to the Jets, we felt all you mourners needed some extra improv to cheer you up. Chad Carter, Sean Conroy, and Anthony King join Matt Besser this week to discuss the all important topic of the Mr. Tebow as well as Morgan Freeman, Tycho Brahe, and Ms. Pac-Man. No amount of flirting or vagina sacrificing will get you on our good side, Tim!  Be sure to pick up an improv4humans shirt from the Earwolf Store and follow @MattBesser on Twitter to send in your improv suggestions.

If you haven’t checked out DJ Intervention yet, do yourself a favor, and join us next week on Who Charted?!

March 22, 2012

Put down that Cookie Crisp and listen to improv4humans! While we couldn’t afford to get Lindsay Lohan on the show, we were able to track down Sean Clements, Dominic Dierkes, and Horatio Sanz who join Matt Besser for a game of college basketball, a trip to a parent-teacher conference, and a snack at the most passive-aggressive restaurant you’ve ever been to. Be sure to pick up an improv4humans shirt from the Earwolf Store and follow @MattBesser on Twitter to send in your improv suggestions. Music by Bobby Matthews and Dragoon.

March 21, 2012

This week on Who Charted? Bob Ducca leaves his hemorrhoid pillow and we get to meet the man behind the ex-stepfather, Seth Morris. Seth is the ultimate sport as we check out The Ultimate Chart for music, quizzes, and sexy rodents. We get into the Movie Chart, but more importantly, we see a glimpse into Howard’s teenage years before launching into a game of Chart Piñata celebrating the Top Hollywood Projects (no, MANswers didn’t make the cut). You can hear all of this, AND a movie pitch that will send 21 Jump Street home crying, on Who Charted?!

March 20, 2012

Richard Kind has done voices in practically every great animated film. Enjoy.

March 20, 2012

Professor Blastoff must be on a trip to the far east. With previous episodes tackling Kung Fu and enlightenment, we’re keeping our kimonos on for a look at samurai culture with master riffer and notorious palm striker Graham Elwood. If you like holding grudges and/or ritualized suicide by disembowelment, maybe being a samurai is right for you! If you like talk of swollen testicles, concussions, and assistant wrangling, maybe this episode is right for you! Hi-yah!

March 20, 2012

Who says werewolves can’t act? Everyone who saw this week’s movie, apparently. Listen in and find out which piece of garbage we’ll be watching this week AND which stellar logo will be adorning future How Did This Get Made? shirts! See ya next week!

This week’s Comedy Bang Bang was recorded live at the South by Southwest Festival 2012 in Austin, Texas. Our guest for the prestigious affair is the one and only Tim Heidecker who shows off his prowess in comedy, music, and headwear. To comment on all the delicious cuisine Austin has to offer is Merrill Shindler, who just might have found a new best friend in Bob Ducca. And since we have Reggie Watts around to perform the theme song and music breaks, it only makes sense that we should challenge our guests to a Freestyle Rap Battle! A great big Texas-sized thank you to everyone who came out to the show!

March 18, 2012

Actor and activist, Ed has acted in so many projects, his resume has an appendix. Join us as he talks about a few of his 250+ projects!

Are you ready for a doubleheader of awesome Sklarbro Country guests? For the first time ever, we have two guests from disparate worlds joining us throughout the episode: Comedian/screenwriter Tom Lennon and podcaster/host of Hoarders Matt Paxton. Matt lived in Reno, Tom loves Hoarders, it’s a match made in heaven! They help us figure out the purpose of Rent-a-Center and create a marketing scheme that will revolutionize A&E. With all the Hoarders talk of dead cats, we thought we should invite our favorite pooch into the fold. Randy Moss’s dog is on the phone with predictions on Randy’s upcoming season with the 49ers. If you’re in Austin tonight, better go to Esther’s Follies for Sklarbro Country LIVE! If not, just go punch a waterfall and order a flat cat.

March 16, 2012

Michelle Buteau is a one-of-a-kind guest! She loves Oprah, has amazing advice for jigsaw puzzlers, and has secret (and timely) stories involving the derriere. She even backs us up on our less-than-popular opinion of a certain type of person. This girl CLEARLY knows how to party and we’re down to party with her anytime she wants. Enjoy!

March 16, 2012

Are those wedding bells we hear? Nope, just the dulcet tones of Ronna and Beverly, back this week with Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer of Broad City. These Groupon Gals talk grooming and dating while sharing their stories of New York City tragedy. Ronna and Bev have vital dating advice for all the young women listening, so this episode is not to be missed!

March 16, 2012

Whether you’re on your way to Austin for SXSW or stuck at home wishing you were, we have a break from the monotony in the form of TWO CHARTED! What’s been entertaining Howard this week? From a tween pop princess to the King of Rock and Roll we bring you the five earbugs that have kept him happily surfing towards summah. What does Texas have in store for a Minnesota girl like Kulap? Find out with her SXSW chart. Don’t be an automaton, give in to the charts!

Prepare for your ears to be Witteled! Harris Wittels is back on the show to destroy you, and the charts, with pleasure. This notorious roller is the perfect man for the Billboard Top Dance Club Play Chart, but is he prepared for the movie chart and its accompanying Act of Valor quiz? Plus, we’ve got this playboy into the rec room for a round of Chart Darts all about his television exhibitionism and brand new digs. The whole episode is cozier than cuddling with a puppy in a fresh duvet cover!
