Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie get kinky in 'GQ' photoshoot

It’s Annie’s boobs… and I’m not talking about the monkey.

Community cast members Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs stripped down for a pectoral pictorial with GQ, and by the looks of it, we’ve all been deceived. There’s no way these girls love chicken fingers. But Jacobs sure likes spatulas. (That’s what that is, right, Mom?)

In all seriousness (well, as serious as you can get writing about this photo), could these funnywomen be any hotter? Give the rest of us some sort of chance here, ladies.

Now, let’s play a game because it’s Friday: Caption this… with a Community quote! I’ll go first:

“I hope you like getting balled.” — Dean Pelton, “For A Few Paintballs Or More”

Emmy nominations will be announced Thursday morning at 8:35 a.m. ET. You can watch Mike & Molly‘s Melissa McCarthy and Fringe‘s Joshua Jackson do the honors on Emmys.com. Our critic Ken Tucker has posted both his predictions of who will be nominated, and his dream ballot of who should be nominated. For argument’s sake, let’s consider anything NOT on his predictions list a longshot. Which longshot are you rooting for most?

I’ve already emailed Ken to tell him that his predictions made me angry with the Academy and they haven’t even snubbed Justified‘s Timothy Olyphant yet. READ FULL STORY »

Ken Jeong teaches you how to save a life with your hands -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , Community, TV

Ken Jeong is a doctor, but he doesn’t play one on TV. However, the Community star (and Hangover Part II nudist) is about to administer 200ccs of critical knowledge in a hands-only CPR public service announcement from the American Heart Association, which you can get a first look at here. It involves: a game of charades, The Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive,” some popping and locking, and two hot chicks wearing tight-but-educational T-shirts. Push the play button hard and fast so you can be a life-saver.  READ FULL STORY »

Why 'Parks and Rec,' 'Community,' and 'Justified' can hope for an Emmy nod: Thank the TCA Awards!

Earlier this week, nominations for the 27th annual Television Critics Association Awards were announced. With Emmy nomination ballots not due until June 24 (nominations are announced July 14), we got to wondering what the critics’ picks could tell us about the Academy’s. After comparing the last 10 years’ worth of nominations, here are four predictions:

• When a primetime comedy makes it into the TCA’s all-encompassing Program of the Year category — which has only happened four times between 2001 and 2010 — it always earns an Emmy nomination. That means Parks and Recreation — the sole comedy in TCA’s 2011 Program of the Year category — should earn its first Emmy nod for Outstanding Comedy Series.  READ FULL STORY »

Abed from 'Community' makes Emmy prediction for comedy race. Is he on mark?

I’d go on record saying that Abed is, in fact, the smartest member of the Greendale study group. (Sorry, Annie!) But even I was really surprised how much sense Abed made when he made his prediction that The Big C will walk away with the award for Outstanding Comedy, after narrowing it down to the aforementioned show, Parks and Recreation (which he says, “a magazine” called the “smartest comedy on TV”),  Modern Family, The Office, 30 Rock, and the Big Bang Theory.

“We’ll give it to The Big C this year, because we know it’s their only chance to get it. By next year, Laura Linney’s character will either have died, or the ‘Fonz’ of her diagnosis will have ‘grown the beard’ of remission,” he wrote. (Yes, Abed, not Danny Pudi, penned this exposé for Variety. How method.) Abed comes to this conclusion after introducing us to his ABBA theory, which I’ll let you read about there. (But it’s called the “ABBA theory.” Need you know anything more to declare it instantly valid?)

Lizzy Caplan, Alison Brie, and Martin Starr to appear in 'Save the Date.' No need for reminders, we're already there!

Could wedding comedies, once and for all, be making a turnaround? For so long it felt like for every delightful  Muriel’s Wedding or Four Weddings and a Funeral, a Bride Wars, 27 Dresses or The Wedding Date would fall and make us dread anything nuptial-related at the movies.

Now thanks to Bridesmaids, the tables have turned. Its title alone could have scared off many (too generic sounding, men won’t see it), but the fact that it was a great movie — not just a great wedding movie — turned it into a word-of-mouth hit.

So when Gilbert Films confirmed to EW that Lizzy Caplan (pictured) and Alison Brie (Community) would be starring together for an indie called Save the Date about two sisters with conflicting views on marriage, the fear of another generic wedding rom-com barely registered. Plus, you simply cannot go wrong with the combination of Brie (who has knocked it out of the park on the small screen in Community and Mad Men, but arguably had the best death/line/part in Scream 4) and Caplan (we still quote her Mean Girls character Janis Ian on a daily basis.)

How did Ken Jeong do as host of the Billboard Music Awards?

Community‘s Ken Jeong — or as most probably know him, “that Asian man from the Hangover movies” — hosted the Billboard Music Awards last night, and, admittedly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from him. The characters he’s most notable for follow the same blueprint: clinically insane with a side of funny. But I wasn’t sure if his normal shtick would be enough to carry an award show. In fact, I’m still not sure it was.

I liked that they acknowledged the odd choice of host in the first minutes of the show (and three cheers for Jeong, who tinkled those ivories to Coldplay’s “Clocks” with major skill!). I also think that on a host-scale of James Franco to Neil Patrick Harris, he ranked somewhere in the “acceptable” range, especially when he reverted to the slightly gross humor we all love. (See the 3:06 mark on the video below.)

What’s the only thing better than Community meets Sergio Leone meets Star Wars? An awesomely unnecessary and unexplained cameo by Laurie (Busy Philipps) and Travis (Dan Byrd) from Cougar Town. They appear for less than a second after [SPOILER ALERT] READ FULL STORY »

'30 Rock' and 'Community' both take walks down memory lane: Who did it better?

30 Rock celebrated 100 episodes with gas-induced hallucinations, flashbacks, and bouts of nostalgia last night. Considering there are five seasons of material to take from and millions upon millions of quoteables, I loved hearing the classic Donaghy logic (“It’s after six. What are we, farmers?”), revisiting vintage Crazy Tracy (“I am a Jedi!”), and even got excited at the sight of dumb Dennis Duffy. But its earlier Thursday night sibling may have delivered a smarter approach to the hackneyed TV trope.

Community defied convention yet again, by creating a clip show out of entirely new scenes posed as memories each character had from earlier episodes this season. READ FULL STORY »
