Super Fun Night Looks Super Fun

Our favourite Aussie comedian, Rebel Wilson, is bringing her comedy to ABC in a new show called Super Fun Night. The Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect starlet is going to call ABC’s Wednesday night comedy block home next fall when Super Fun Night debuts. The show will air at 930p in the coveted after Modern Family slot. I couldn’t be more happy for Rebel Wilson.

I was wary of any other network besides CBS picking up Rebel’s show. CBS is known for comedy that seems a little risqué for television(see 2 Broke Girls). ABC isn’t known for having long-last “vulgar” shows. The wonderful show GCB was cancelled due to its subject matter.Rebel Wilson is known for her vulgarity and outrageous comedy that sometimes goes on the side of extreme. I am hoping that ABC won’t tame our little kangaroo too much because her comedy is what makes her shine. I do feel better that the show was created by Conan O’Brien and Rebel herself. It is also being executive produced by the both of them as well.

The trailer for the show almost makes it seem like ABC and Rebel have found a way to bridge Rebel’s humour while keeping it some what on a smaller scale. I think it was also smart to put the show later in the night when the tots are on their way to the land of dreams. The trailer also has a different look about it than the current comedies. It almost looks like it was filmed like a movie.

While I really couldn’t be happier for Rebel, I really am hoping this show means that she will be taking a hiatus from movies. We do know that she is helping write the planned and green-lit Pitch Perfect 2, which is due out in 2014. I hope we don’t have to wait until then for another Rebel filled movie. She has just become one of my favourite actresses and comedienne’s that I want more of her than I probably need.

Checkout the trailer for Super Fun Night below and tell me what you think about it in the comments.

Kat Dennings Dating Co-Star

Before I get to the subject of this post, I would like to say a bit on Kat Dennings. I have to say that no matter what movie I have seen Kat Dennings in she has instantly been likable. I also have to say that in the fall I was surprised to see she was going to be doing a network television show on CBS. It just seemed like a demotion after being in movies to go to a 30 minute TV show. That show is “2 Broke Girls” and it is one of the funniest comedies on TV at the moment. The creator of the show Whitney Cummings really has a hit on her hands. That is could considering Whitney’s self-titled show “Whitney” is apparently not getting the best reviews(though I enjoy this show as well). Anyway, if anything I now see that “2 Broke Girls” is actually a promotion from the parts Kat played in movies. It is a part where she is one of the two lead characters and really gets to shine.

Now on to the point of this post… Kat Dennings is apparently now dating her co-star Nick Zano. On “2 Broke Girls” Nick plays Kat’s characters love interest. Apparently the two really actually have some chemistry and are having better luck off-screen getting together than their TV characters are on the show. I want to give the “JakeLX Seal of Approval” on this relationship and I wish them the best.
