Well, it's happened, folks. Jon Stewart has announced his final Daily Show episode, which means that things just got real. As much as we hate to admit it, the political satirist will soon be leaving his Comedy Central seat, the one he's held for the past 17 years, and give it up to young stand up comedian Trevor Noah. Hopefully, of course, he'll just give Noah a new chair, because otherwise that's pretty rank. Anyway, whether you're excited or not about Noah coming onboard – c'mon, give him a chance! – rest easy for now because we've still got a little over three months left with Stewart. Read More »
So, this could be the scariest thing we’ve ever encountered. Not the getting high with Tommy Chong part – that sounds like a blast. What’s terrifying is the thought of walking through a supposed haunted house while stoned out of your skull. But it seems there’s a group of people willing to do it, film it and upload it: Funny or Die. In this new video, the comedy site recently paired a group of people alongside Chong for a segment called Scared Stoned with Tommy Chong. Together, the group got high, talked a little bit about the origin story of the now-famed 4/20, and walked through what they believed to be a haunted house. During the bit, cops seemingly busted the joint (no pun intended … okay, maybe a little) and walked them outside. But when they got there, it wasn’t exactly a police car waiting for them. Read More »
Just a few days ago, CONAN writer Andres du Bouchet took to his oh, so hilarious Twitter account to let the world know just what he thought of the state of comedy in 2015. During the rant, he seemed to offend Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon's newest Spike, LL Cool J-hosted series Lip Sync Battle –– a show in which celebs battle it out for the title of Best Lip Sync-er...or something like that. Anyway, while the world thought the remarks were rather humorous – especially when he tweeted you could "shove your lip-syncing up you're a**" – apparently not everyone thought it was the most professional thing to do. In particular? Conan O'Brien himself. The TBS host recently kicked off a little beef with du Bouchet on Twitter. Read More »
On February 10, comedian Jon Stewart announced that he was leaving The Daily Show after an amazing 17-year run. Following the announcement, many were wondering just why in the hell he would leave the Comedy Central vehicle, especially when it appeared that his reign as top political satirist never faltered. But now, in a new interview, the comedian admits why he's leaving the show. Mainly, he just doesn't get the same satisfaction from the show. That, and he didn't want to cover the 2016 Presidential Election. Read More »
Not everyone appears to be enjoying Jimmy Fallon’s newfound smash television show Lip Sync Battle, which pairs two celebrities against one another in an “epic” battle of lip syncing –– pretty much exactly what the title calls for. Anyway, it’s being reported that CONAN writer Andres du Bouchet took to his Twitter account recently to slam the television show, and apparently invited people to “shove your lip-syncing up you’re a**.” Read More »
4/20 is here, folks! And to celebrate the oh, so hazy holiday of pot-smoking, we here at MStars News thought it best to count down the top five celebrity stoners that Hollywood has to offer. Naturally, the land-o-celebs is filled with a large number of people who smoke marijuana, but there are a select few (okay, maybe more) who actually seem to really publicize the ... hobby? From the comedy industry to the land of dramatic acting and music, pot is arguably more popular than drinking in Hollywood –– especially because it's rather legal in California if you have a prescription. Now, there's much speculation as to the meaning of 4/20 (or 4:20, 420 – however you want to spell it), but to us, it means one thing: people are smoking pot today... Read More »
If you're one of the many, many viewers of NBC's Today then you probably know exactly what Jon Stewart is talking about in the below video. The Daily Show host recently slammed the "news" program for kicking off a recent episode by showing viewers the horrific murder of South Carolina Resident Walter Scott, who was gunned down by Officer Michael Slager in footage released last week by the New York Times, right as the show kicked off. Of course, the center of Stewart's slam was the fact that 24-hour news outlets are showing these murder videos on a non-stop loop, which takes away from the impact they actually make on society.

A lot happened this week, folks. Whether we're talking about important news topics like that unplanned (and apparently unwanted) kiss between Madonna and Drake, or more buzzworthy yet petty stories like Tax Day 2015 (don't worry; we won't make you re-live it) and the fact that Hillary Clinton has officially announced her Presidential campaign – wait a minute, did we get those reversed? – one thing is certain: this week was pretty heavy. Which, of course, left a hell of a lot of room for late night comedy to do their thing: make fun of everything. Read More »

It isn't easy to do a spot-on Robin Williams impression. Here we were thinking that Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon had the best of all. But step aside Fallon with your successful lifestyle... actor Jamie Costa is here to take you down! Following Williams unfortunate passing via suicide this past August 2014, the world, specifically the comedy world, was left with a enormous void.

That, or we can watch Costa do 20 flawless impressions of some of Robin Williams most memorable characters... Read More »
