Business majors beware: ‘Corporate’ has a gloomy take on office elite

Danny Liggio | Tuesday, February 20, 2018

Comedy Central’s new workplace comedy “Corporate” follows two junior executives in-training — Jake and Matt — up the first rungs of the ladder in the mega-conglomeration of a company called Hampton Deville. Both Jake (Jake Weisman) and Matt (Matt Ingebretson) have lost their souls somewhere along the way and are now thoroughly entrenched in the

Yas Queen! ‘Broad City’ season four’s fresh comedy and meaningful politics

Maggie Walsh | Tuesday, November 28, 2017

Four and three and two and one. Cue the psychedelic, catchy title sequence because “Broad City” is funnier, smarter and more relevant than ever. With the fourth season’s finale approaching, it’s time to take a look at what makes “Broad City” especially important this year. “Broad City” started in 2009 as a YouTube web series

‘Nathan For You’ Season 4 is must-see comedy

Owen Lane | Wednesday, September 27, 2017

“Nathan for You” compels its audience to do two things. For one thing, of course, it makes them laugh. A lot. The sheer conceptual originality of “Nathan for You” separates the show from anything else on cable or streaming services, and this unique take on comedy pays its dividends in laughter. The most accessible show

‘South Park’: timely and timeless

Kelly McGarry | Wednesday, September 28, 2016

This month, “South Park” joined the sparse ranks of cartoons to make it to their 20th year. The season opened to a third-grade basketball team’s protest of the national anthem, but in its typical fashion tied together multiple issues that combine to hint at a theme for the season. The longevity of “South Park” is matched by only

Not so good Nightly

Matthew Macke | Friday, September 2, 2016

You know that feeling when you really want to like something, but can’t actually bring yourself to do it? That’s how I felt about Larry Wilmore’s “The Nightly Show.” The series represented something relatively unheard of in the late night sphere: a news program (albeit a satiric one) with an African-American focus. On top of

SceneCast: Comedy Central and Late-Night TV

Erin McAuliffe, Matt McMahon and Adam Ramos | Thursday, March 24, 2016

  In the midst of March Madness, Matt McMahon, Erin McAuliffe and Adam Ramos take on late-night and “other-time” TV (like Comedy Central’s “Idiotsitter”). In a time of abundant niche TV content and real-time comedic commentary via Reddit and Twitter, will late-night come to adapt its traditional end of the week/night model? This is Scene’s

‘Nathan for You’ returns for third season

Matthew Munhall | Thursday, November 5, 2015

One of the most odd side-effects of social media is the number of brands that have assumed the casual, light-hearted voices of teenagers. Corporate Twitter accounts in 2015 are more likely to borrow slang and piggyback on memes than tweet anything overtly resembling advertising. The best (worst?) example is Denny’s, whose social media strategy roughly

Colbert changes the game

Marek Mazurek | Thursday, October 1, 2015

As a sports junkie, most of my TV viewing takes the form of football and so when my friend invited me to watch the inaugural episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” I was a little skeptical. I was skeptical not because I am a talk show virgin (Craig Ferguson, check him out), but because after years

A Legend-ary weekend

Allie Tollaksen | Friday, February 27, 2015

The lingering February cold may make leaving your room a little difficult, but Legends Nightclub has back-to-back nights of great programs to make the winter weather worth enduring. Notre Dame’s own radio station WVFI has partnered with Legends to bring indie rock group Catfish and the Bottlemen to Legends tonight. The Welsh group has only

Larry Wilmore shines on ‘The Nightly Show’

Matthew Munhall | Monday, February 2, 2015

“I came into the office today to get my things and everyone was here, and I was like, wait are we doing this again?” Larry Wilmore joked on the second episode of “The Nightly Show.” “I guess that’s what nightly means. I didn’t know.” Two weeks into his new gig hosting his own late-night show
