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). ABCisn’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.
Zach Galifianakis gave us an awesome SNL last Saturday and Kristen Wiig is sure to give us an amazing show this Saturday. I have to ask NBC and SNL one question though. Why has Rebel Wilson not been on the show this season? Apparently Ben Affleck is set for the season finale, a show which I felt Rebel should have had. I felt like she really could have closed down this season in an amazing way.
Rebel Wilson’s fame has only grown since her debut on Bridesmaids in 2011. Her popularity only has soared since Pitch Perfect last fall. I would consider Pitch Perfect to be her breakthrough role where she was given a lot of air time. Pitch Perfect has become a huge success since its home video release and along with it Rebel Wilson. Rebel WIlson’s next project is apparently a comedy show on ABC called Super Fun Night for ABC.
Rebel WIlson also just hosted the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, which I will have to say, she killed it. I think she has more than proven her comedy chops and it is surprising to me that she wasn’t asked to host this year. She would have been a better choice than Melissa McCarthy, whose second round of hosting SNL was more lackluster than her first round.
I guess I can always hold out hope that Rebel will get her chance to host SNL next season. Maybe we will even see her Saturday has a special guest on Kristen Wiig’s hosted show. I really think Rebel Wilson would be a ratings boost for SNL. Let me know in the comments if you think Rebel Wilson would be an amazing choice to host SNL?
Saturday sketches are happening again on my You Tube channel. The first of these sketches was released February 23. It is based on a fake-vlogging trip to an art gallery.
I am back to vlogging on my You Tube channel everyone. The way I am doing it is now more professional looking and I am calling it Vlogosphere. My plan was to start it on Monday(June 18), but my internet went down and I wasn’t able to start it until Wednesday(June 20). My plan is to do them Monday-Friday. They will be about different news things in the entertainment industry or beyond, and sometimes a little bit of randomness. Like my “Whip My Ball” video(see video below).
This week I filmed three videos Wednesday-Friday and they are all a bit different. The great thing about You Tube is if I feel like something isn’t working for me or the viewer I can tweak it and rework it constantly to be better for each party. I feel like Friday’s vlog is probably the style I have settled on for now, but if anyone has any tips, I would greatly appreciate them. You can catch a link below to subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my future vlogs. I will be posting my vlogs, in separate posts, here as well, so subscribe to this vlog if you would like.
Here is my first sketch comedy by myself since I am now running solo on these. If you like it, don’t forget to subscribe to this blog or most importantly my You Tube. This sketch is all improv. I thought it would be funny to make it a country person who was in this situation. I felt it should be a character that you wouldn’t have expected to be doing a job like this. Below you will find the synopsis of this sketch and the video of the sketch below that. Enjoy! -JakeLX

On May 19, 2012, something horrible happened. SNL did a send off skit for one of their greatest cast members ever, Kristen Wiig. I just now decided to write this, it has just been so hard for me to think about her not being on SNL next season. Just kidding, I actually kinda forgot to write anything on here for the last few months. Anyway, it is hard to imagine Kristen Wiig missing from SNL and I am sure the show will find someone of her caliber one day, no time soon obviously. She is gonna be one tough cookie to replace. She has not left Lorne with an easy task of filling the hole she is leaving.
While I am sad to see her leave, I understand that at this point in career SNL would really be holding her back at this point. She has been in a few movies here and there in recent years, but last years Bridesmaids really got her going to the places that I am sure she has always wanted to get to go. I couldn’t be happier for her. Before Bridesmaids I would talk about Kristen Wiig and how funny he Target Lady or Gilly was on SNL and people would be like who is Kristen Wiig. After last May when Bridesmaids was released, she became a household name and I no longer had to explain who she was.
So, goodbye, Kristen… For now. We will meet again when I watch any of your sure to be astounding future films. I wouldn’t mind if I ever got to meet you in person either, or how about a part in a movie your writing? Just remember me, JakeLX.
Some would say that NBC’s SNL is already in a turbulent era that started a few years ago. I don’t see it that way. I love the show and I will have to say that this season has been the worse that I’ve watched, but each episode has had its moments. The skits just seem to not be as funny and the show has been lacking Andy Samberg’s SNL Digital Short moments. It seems that if you want a funny skit, it has to include the loveable and hilarious Kristen Wiig. There is a problem to that though… Kristen Wiig’s contract is up at the end of this year and it is rumoured that she has no plans on staying on SNL. Why would she? It has launched her career in Hollywood and hit her household name status with last May’s release of Bridesmaids. She really has no reason to stay on SNL and in the long run the show would hurt her further development in Hollywood. I went into this season knowing that we at home, would most likely be saying goodbye to Kristen Wiig at the end of the season. So, I’ve made peace with that fact and no we will see her in some awesome movies in the future.
Jason Sudeikis is another one rumoured to be leaving. He is probably SNL‘s number two person that needs to be in a skit if Kristen Wiig isn’t in a skit. He probably is my number two on the show as well. He has been more and more in movies and last years hit Horrible Bosses,really ironed in that he was going to be a long-lasting funny guy in Hollywood. Again, SNL would just hold him back from furthering his career in movies. I’m not as sad to see him leave SNL, but again, we will see him in the future in more movies.
Then last to be rumoured to leave is Andy Samberg. He’s funny, but I feel like on SNL the writers held back parts for him. I think it is because he spent so much time on his “digital shorts” for the show, so maybe he in turn made it easy to not be written in as many sketches. This season the shorts haven’t been that great. Normally they are music videos based on songs from The Lonely Island, but they have used most of the songs, if not all, on the shorts already from their current album. Andy Samberg has been in a few movies here and there and has really started to be in more and more. His biggest part in a movie is coming out soon in Adam Sandler’s new movie, That’s My Boy, where he has a lead role, playing Adam Sandler’s son, that Sandler’s character had when he was in his early teen’s. So, we will be seeing him in more movies I am sure.
The more I read the history of SNL, I really understand that this happens. The people come and go, with some going on to bigger and better things, and some just fading away. Not all are on the show forever, except for Kenan Thompson. The show apparently goes from bad periods to really good periods. I think if all three of the above do leave at the end of the season that the show may enter into a bad period. They haven’t really found awesome replacements for Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, or Amy Poehler, and now they may three more to try to replace. Whatever happens, I’ll be watching SNL regardless. God, knows I stayed with MadTV until the very end, and that was rather hard.
The second video from this season of videos on the JakeLX Entertainment You Tube channel is “Adele”. I actually like Adele, but I do know people who don’t. This video was adapted from some of those such feelings that she seems to bring out of people. Overall, I think this is one of our best put together videos with a well written and funny script. Don’t forget to share on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else. Thanks and enjoy!
