The thing that I always found incredible was how nimble they could be. Other shows film or are produced months ahead of time but Trey and Matt can take something that happens this week write and create an entire episode around it and have it out by next week. Also in B4 the lock.

Hopefully it doesn't get locked.

I appreciate those guys because they make fun of everybody (including themselves) and that's the way it should be. We should all be able to laugh at ourselves and not take ourselves so seriously.

Team America World Police may be one of the greatest movies ever made.

Yeah those guys are my entertainment heroes. They are the 21st century Jonathan Swift.
Their 25th anniversary concert at Redrocks was awesome. You can probably find it on youtube, but they closed with the Team America theme song "F yeah" , and did a quick breakdown to throw in Neil Diamond's "they come to America" into the song, then went back to the "F Yeah" part. Just awesome.
I haven't seen the episode yet but this has gotten me excited!

Freedom costs a buck o' fiiiiiiiive

Every ******* country song from this century sounds like that to me.

ETA: every sports fan with an ounce of humor should watch BASEketball.

The puppet sex scenes in Team America are some of the most uproariously funny things ever.

The power ballad was awesome too" "Pearl Harbor (the movie) sucked and I love you"

Agreed on BASEketball. It was great too. Al Michaels and Bob Costas with some dynamite cameos in that one.

Yep late night is dying, but I bet they have some Paramount sphincters real tight bc that settlement to Trump absolutely was a grease payment to get in process and future deals to go through.

Kinda proves the point that the Colbert firing wasn't political.
Correct. It was because podcasts have replaced talk shows and are way less maintenance to upkeep while getting similar viewership numbers.

Live TV is dying outside of sports. Why watch on cable's schedule when I can watch on my own. Same as the movie theater. Back when TVs weren't capable of being equivalent, the movies were a necessity. Now why go and spend a shitton of money when I get a better experience and can pause/watch at home whenever I want.

What kills late night tv is all the funny skits get put on social media so then no one watches the actual show.

Yeah. Hearing an actor talk about movies, a comedian doing 5 minutes or seeing a band play two songs is all within our fingers now. Seeing Burt Reynolds on Carson was interesting and unique. Now we’d know everything about Burt because every second of his life would be on display on Social Media or the 35 entertainment media outlets.

Well, I didn't want to get myself banned

Fair. I suppose they have to draw the line somewhere and DS can't jeopardize his source of flat-screens for gratuitous puppet sex.

Their cameos are phenomenal. I think my favorites are Reggie Jackson and Robert Stack.

My dvd version also includes golden showers and poop.
That was the version I saw the 1st time and I had to catch my breath from laughing so hard. Was there a dirty sanchez as well? I haven't seen the good filth stuff on a streaming version.

Also... Film Actors Guild!

It was on the unrated version. I had originally seen it in the theater so those extra bits definitely caught me by surprise.

Just watch an interview from them that said they studio needed episode clips in February for promotion and they replied "we don't know what we are doing this summer" so they made a bunch of random clips none of which might end up in an actual episode for it

How in the absolute **** does it cost $100,000,000 per year to run a late-night talk show? And a not very good one at that.
The show employs approximately 200 people, host makes 15-20 million per year, taxes on the Ed Sullivan theater along with upkeep, utilities, etc. I can see how it adds up quick. I have no idea if they compensate any of the actors or bands or if they do it for the exposure (or lack of).
