It’s 3 p.m.! Let The A.V. Club briefly make use of the waning hours of your productivity with some pop culture ephemera pulled from the depths of YouTube.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cast of Eddie Murphy’s biopic about comedian Rudy Ray Moore is getting even better (or “muscular,” as THR puts it), with Wesley Snipes, Mike Epps, Craig Robinson, Tituss Burgess, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph all joining the cast. The Hollywood Reporter story says that Snipes will…

Starring Craig Robinson and Matt Berry, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn follows Lulu Danger (Aubrey Plaza) as her crumbling marriage takes a turn for the worse when a mysterious man, Beverly Luff Linn (Robinson), re-emerges from her past. At the Sundance premiere of the film, we sat down with Robinson and Berry to…

For the past couple of years, The A.V. Club has used its 11 Questions feature to ask celebrities about their first concerts and most embarrassing phases. Part of that feature—the 12th question—also asked the interviewee to come up with a question for the next interview subject without generally knowing who they were.…

Sometimes a pilot is enough. That’s the message CBS sent earlier this week when the network ordered a full season of its Big Bang Theory prequel, Young Sheldon, two days after its primetime debut. The announcement followed strong ratings for just that one episode, but the confidence of the CBS brass is probably based…

In 11 Questions, The A.V. Club asks interesting people 11 interesting questions—and then asks them to suggest one for our next interviewee.

According to Deadline, Fox has just given series orders to two of the network’s hottest comedy pilots: Ghosted and LA To Vegas. The former is billed as a comedic spin on The X-Files, with Craig Robinson playing a cynical skeptic and Adam Scott as a “true believer” who are enlisted by a secret organization to…

Chicago is a “that guy” kind of town, its very history shaped by political machines and criminal syndicates whose leaders all resembled character actors of one type or another. It’s also home to venerable ensemble theater companies such as Steppenwolf and improv comedy institutions like Second City, which has made it…

In the farthest corner of a wedding reception sit the undesirables: the Kepps, Bina (Lisa Kudrow) and Jerry (Craig Robinson), a passive-aggressive couple invited by the father of the groom; Jo (June Squibb), the elderly former nanny of the bride’s family, almost swallowed by her hot-pink cake hat; the bride’s creepy…

Deadline reports that Baskets and Portlandia mastermind Jonathan Krisel has been tapped to direct the pilot for Ghosted, the new supernatural comedy series from Adam Scott and Craig Robinson.

Aubrey Plaza (alongside Emile Hirsch, Craig Robinson, Jemaine Clement, and Snuff Box’s Matt Berry) has signed on for a new film from Jim Hosking, the director whose gross-out debut The Greasy Strangler provoked a mixture of laughs and gags from critics last year. Hosking’s new feature, An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn

According to Variety, Fox has given a pilot order to Ghosted, a paranormal comedy series starring Craig Robinson and Adam Scott. If this news seems familiar, it could be because Fox already gave the project a pilot order back in August, but it seems like that was more of a “we’ll think about it” order while this is…

Lisa Loeb has just released the first single from her upcoming all-ages album, titled Feel What U Feel. The singer-songwriter isn’t alone on her Inside Out-esque anthem to non-judgmental acceptance, though: she’s recruited Mr. Robot guest star, Caraoke Showdown host, and all-around musical comedy superstar Craig…

Fox just can’t seem to quell its recently reawakened hunger for supernatural sleuthing. Bypassing the status of its much-ballyhooed X-Files revival—whose potential second season is still an open question—the network has announced that it’s giving a pilot order to a new “X-Files-like” comedy series, starring comedy…

“A unique perspective.” That’s how single dad Curtis (Craig Robinson) spins the tough move he’s put his 13-year-old son through. As fatherly silver linings go, it’s right up there with “builds character.” Curtis, you see, hasn’t just dragged Morris (newcomer Markees Christmas) across the country. He’s relocated his…

In Morris From America, the Sundance film to be released later this month, Craig Robinson plays a sensitive, albeit frustrated, dad whose son is having trouble adjusting to life in their adopted German home. The performance gave Sam Esmail the sense that Robinson had it in him to join Mr. Robot as Ray. Only, as…

Over the last few years, Spike TV’s original “TV for men” mission has evolved into “nothing but Lip Sync Battle,” and now it has decided to try and expand on that show’s great ratings by introducing a spin-off of sorts called Caraoke Showdown. Like Lip Sync Battle, Caraoke Showdown is copied off of a popular segment…
