In a new interview with HuffPost Live Carolla sat down to discuss his new film Road Hard. And unsurprisingly, he had a lot to say… Read More »

Perhaps one of the best sketches of this past Sunday's Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary was Celebrity Jeopardy. Why? Well, because it gathered some of the most iconic celebs (both the performers and the impersonations) together again for one of our favorite SNL sketches of all time. And while Darryl Hammond delighted playing Sean Connery, as he usually does, and Norm MacDonald thrilled us all with his famed Burt Reynolds/Turd Ferguson impression ... it seems that there was supposed to be a little more star power in there. And yes, Kenan Thompson did a wonderful job as famed comedian/alleged rapist Bill Cosby, but it seems he wasn't the first choice to play the role of the good doctor. So, who was supposed to?

And if that weren’t enough to grab your interest … how about if we told you Quinn’s friend and fellow comedian Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the episode? Well, he does… Read More »
