Chris Kattan, known for his career in comedy and for starring on Saturday Night Live, is set to launch his debut podcast.

PodcastOne has signed Kattan to a multiyear contract for the distribution and sales of his podcast Idiotically Speaking With Chris Kattan. The weekly comedy and variety show podcast is set to launch July 24 and will feature guests chatting with Kattan and co-hosts Andy Bolduc and Joseph Nuñez and then participating in an improv comedy scenario.

The fellow SNL alums set to join forthcoming episodes of Idiotically Speaking include Fred Armisen, Dana Carvey, Rachel Dratch, Tim Meadows, Bobby Moynihan, Chris Parnell and Cecily Strong.

“PodcastOne is thrilled to welcome Chris, Andy and Joseph to the network,” PodcastOne president Kit Gray said in a statement. “Chris’ comic genius, his improvisational skills and his rapport with his co-hosts on Idiotically Speaking are great additions to the roster of shows already part of our slate of programming.

As confirmed by Deadline, Richard Roundtree, the groundbreaking star of the original "Shaft" franchise has died as a result of pancreatic cancer. He was 81. Roundtree was a gifted athlete who played for New Rochelle High School's nationally-ranked and undefeated football team but later dropped out of college after he was scouted by Ebony Fashion Fair founder Eunice W. Johnson and began modeling for companies like Duke hair products and Salem cigarettes. A few years later, he joined the Negro Ensemble Company theater group in New York City, where he became a fast leading man. This led to a successful career in front of the camera, where Roundtree would become colloquially known as the "first Black action hero."

He appeared in a number of Blaxploitation films in the 1970s, but he became a cinematic icon as detective John Shaft in the films "Shaft," "Shaft's Big Score!," "Shaft in Africa," and the short-lived series adaptation.

Howard Weitzman, the high-powered Hollywood lawyer with an A-list clientele that included O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson, died Wednesday following a battle with cancer, a representative of his firm, Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump & Aldisert, told TheWrap. He was 81.

Weitzman, a founding partner Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump, represented some of the biggest names in entertainment. He was the Michael Jackson estate’s attorney during its battle with the IRS, and successfully defended automaker John DeLorean during his infamous drug trafficking trial in the 1980s.

He rose to public notoriety in the early 1990s when he initially represented O.J. Simpson after Simpson’s arrest for murder, before stepping down citing an inability to lessen his other work; he was portrayed by actor Ken Lerner in the acclaimed miniseries “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.”

Weitzman also served high-powered Hollywood executives, among them Ron Meyer, whom Weitzman represented in negotiations...

So many movies intended for the big screen are having to forgo it these days, it seems odd when something as apt for home viewing as “Half Brothers” makes the Covid-defying move of opening on 1,200-plus American screens. Those looking for undemanding entertainment may give it a passing grade, but or the collective viewing experience. Nor does writer-producer Eduardo Cisernos’ concept add much to culture-clash politics beyond contrivance and reinforced stereotypes. It’s a slick film that’s forgettable at best, annoyingly broad and unfunny at worst.

A 1994 prologue has engineer Flavio (Juan Pablo Espinosa) enjoying a close, playful relationship with only child Renato (Ian Inigo) in their native San Miguel de Allende. But a steep economic downturn forces dad to leave his wife (Bianca Marroquin) and son behind in order to seek work up north, along with many others. While he promises he’ll soon return, that promise is broken.

Movie posters are an important advertising element for a film. But what happens when they don't do such a great job in promoting their film?

Movie posters are supposed to be the first and most prominent promotional tool of a film. Many times movie posters may be the first official material released for a film production as well as the first opportunity that the film has to reach its potential audience. That makes them very important. Like trailers, they are meant to capture your attention. Unlike trailers, they are not supposed to give too much away. There are various techniques that have been used over the years to accomplish this task including bright colors, eye-catching fonts, and the prominent inclusion of big name stars’ faces. Graphic design as well as a general nod to the production design of the film are important components for every movie poster. Before the advent of computers,...

Dancing With the Stars better secure the rights to Haddaway's "What Is Love" for new contestant Chris Kattan. E! News has learned the Saturday Night Live veteran is in serious talks to compete in season 24 of the reality dance competition and you can be sure there will be some Night at the Roxbury, which used "What Is Love," homages. Perhaps Mr. Peepers will make an appearance? Kattan appeared on SNL from 1996 to 2003 and starred in the A Night at the Roxbury flick, a spinoff from the sketch series, opposite Will Ferrell. His other credits include Corky Romano, Monkeybone, Nancy Drew and on TV, The Middle, How I Met Your Mother and voice work on Bunnicula and Jake and the Never Land Pirates. Kattan dipped...

Chris Kattan has been officially charged with driving under the influence of drugs following his arrest on February 10, with the maximum penalty for the first offense of DUI being six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, plus penalty assessments.

Earlier this month, Kattan, 43, reportedly crashed his car into a Department of Transportation maintenance truck on the 101 Freeway that was parked on the shoulder for maintenance work around 2 a.m., CBS Los Angeles reports.

The California Highway Patrol report also said that a woman had apparently called 911 to report that the comedian's Mercedes was "weaving all over the roadway at slow speeds."

Kattan was reportedly not injured in the crash, and was able to exit his car.

According to the Chp, he appeared to be impaired and was then taken into custody for driving under the influence and booked at Van Nuys Jail.

He cracked fans up as a wannabe party animal in “A Night at the Roxbury,” and now Chris Kattan may have taken things too far in real life.

The “Corky Romano” actor was arrested in Los Angeles early this morning (February 10) after he crashed into another vehicle while.

According to the Lapd, neither Kattan’s car nor the other ride was damaged, but Chris was in fact arrested for driving under the influence of prescription medication.

A concerned citizen called 911 after observing that Kattan’s Mercedes Benz was “weaving all over the 101 Freeway at slow speeds” around 2am.

Rounding out a long day of promotions for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 yesterday, Robert Pattinson visited Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and got wet. Soaked, even. Yep, Pattinson went on the show to discuss a few things about his life - like the fact that he unknowingly dissed country superstar Brad Paisley in Nashville recently and he peed his pants watching Corky Romano - and the movie before playing a little game of "Water War." View slideshow: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' Kristen Stewart, who'd appeared on the show the night before, was challenged to a harmless game of giant quarters, but Pattinson's game involved a simple deck of cards, a few cups of water and one giant super soaker water gun.

Honestly, do you even need us to write words here? Probably, we should just shut up and let you watch Robert Pattinson get drenched, even as he wins his Water War game with Jimmy Fallon on Late Night. But maybe after you enjoy the above clip a few times, you will also want to entertain yourself with the many funny things we learned from his appearance on the show. Things such as the fact that Rob is a Corky Romano superfan.

“I love that movie; I would say that’s one of my top five favorite movies,” he said of the Chris Kattan comedy. “That’s the only time I’ve ever genuinely peed my pants … from watching a movie.”

And while Fallon and the rest of us recognize Rob as a really funny guy, he said that if he ever did a comedy, he’d like a little help.

In the business of older white male character actors getting jobs, we’ve got two this afternoon. First up, with production beginning on the drama thriller Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Keith Carradine has been added to the impressive ensemble already including Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster and Nate Parker.

Newcomer David Lowery will make his debut here, in the tale of an escaped convict in the ’70s named Bob Muldoon (Affleck) who must confront a dark past in order to reunite with his wife (Mara) and daughter. There’s no news on who Carradine will play, but the actor is always a welcome addition. Here’s hoping that Lowery can succeed off the bat, as he’s surely already got the cast to back him up.

We’ve also got news from Variety that Fred Ward has joined the ensemble of the actioner 2 Guns, set to be directed by Contraband‘s Baltasar Kormákur,...

Kristen Wiig made her final regular appearance on Saturday Night Live last week with a moving send-off that was grander and more heartfelt than the sketch show has given a cast member in quite some time. With half a dozen film projects in the works, Wiig is poised to launch into a long, successful career on the A-list. But then again so was David Spade, Jimmy Fallon, and Tina Fey. While those SNL vets have all flourished in television, Wiig has made no move toward the small screen, and it’s harder to become a bankable star on the level of Will Ferrell,...

There's been a long line of distinguished, accomplished men named "Zechariah" (Zac, Zach or Zack, for short) throughout the course of American history: 12th U.S. President Zachary Taylor, Most Popular Student at Bayside High Zack Morris, um…

Us actor whose success as the scruffy TV detective Columbo was complemented by a wide range of stage and screen roles

Show-business history records that the American actor Peter Falk, who has died aged 83, made his stage debut the year before he left high school, presciently cast as a detective. Despite the 17-year-old's fleeting success, he had no thoughts of pursuing acting as a career – if only because tough kids from the Bronx considered it an unsuitable job for a man. Just 24 years later, Falk made his first television appearance as the scruffy detective, Columbo, not only becoming the highest paid actor on television – commanding $500,000 an episode during the 1970s – but also the most famous.

Inevitably the lieutenant dedicated to unravelling the villainy of the wealthy and glamorous dominated his career, although – unlike some actors – he escaped the straitjacket, or in his case shabby raincoat, of typecasting. In addition to stage work,...

In honor of The Comedy Awards, airing April 10 on Comedy Central, NextMovie is unveiling a series of features on Hollywood's funniest films and folks.

Between YouTube, Upright Citizens Brigade, and half the cast of "Freaks And Geeks" creating world-famous superstars, there is a literal glut of talent coming through the comedy pipelines, which as metaphorical as they are could probably use some kind of filtration system.

That's where we come in. We're here to give you the skinny on the 20 most uproariously irreverent, maniacally twisted, ingeniously brilliant (male) comedic movie stars out there (see our picks for top 20 funniest women here).

20. Michael Cera

Taking exasperated wimpitude to new heights, this wee 22-year-old Canadian took the big screen by storm in 2007 with the twin successes of "Juno" and "Superbad." The latter teen comedy showcased Cera's deadpan to maximum effect as the ultrasensitive Evan, who sets his phaser to "flustered" when the...

Well, maybe it’s not the board game… but Liam Neeson has signed on to play the role of Admiral Shane in Universal Pictures new film Battleship. Also joining the cast will be Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights), Brooklyn Decker (Ugly Betty), Rihanna, and Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood). I don’t know how I feel about this mash up, but my fingers are crossed!

The premise of the film is that the planet is up against some sort of powerful force and Admiral Shane and his crew are out to win the battle. (Simple enough, right?) Directed by Peter Berg (Hancock, Smoking Aces, Corky Romano), it is scheduled to come out on May 18th, 2012.

Snooki and the "Eclipse" cast may be jazzed about the new "Twilight" sequel's release this week, but Chris Kattan is not impressed, assuming his Twitter post today was meant to be sarcastic. If it wasn't meant as sarcasm, he may have just declared himself to be one of the biggest lovers of sparkling vampires in all of Twitter-Wood.

Few celebs have dared to trash "Toy Story 3," meanwhile. Christopher Mintz-Plasse wrote down some thoughts after seeing it, and director Lee Unkrich shared a photo with a few of the film's voice actors.

Jeremy Piven and Dave Coulier, meanwhile were a little more explicit with their praise last night when the Chicago Blackhawks took home the Stanley Cup.

Some country music performers took home some accolades last night, too, over at the Cmt Music Awards. David Spade and Snooki saw some friends while they were there from the looks of their tweets.

Some of the "Hot Tube Time Machine" cast members want to see it trending more often on Twitter, while others, like Rob Corddry, just want to see rank in some more dough -- though I think he may be joking about his expectations. Nevertheless, however well the show does this weekend, they do appear to have sold a ticket to Damon Lindelof.

Take Mariah Carey for instance, who's taken up swimming with puppies, and Chris Kattan, who's renting a place on the beach.

A great movie poster can, clearly, really help sell a movie. But there's still a list of things that should never, ever find their way to the final version...

The art of the movie poster is a delicate one. Get the right poster, and you bring in the casual moviegoer, catch the eye and even get people wanting to buy it and put it on their walls. Get it wrong, and it can cost you hard cash at the box office.

For, whether you like it or not, the poster is the key deciding factor for many cinemagoers when choosing what to see at their local multiplex. And it got us thinking: what are the things that people put on their posters that serve no logical purpose whatsoever? What are, frankly, the most redundant things your poster can say?

Stag Night

Stars: Kip Pardue, Breckin Meyer, Scott Adkins, Vinessa Shaw | Written and Directed by Peter A. Dowling

Three New Yorkers out on a stag night hit on a couple of girls on the subway. When one gets too forceful he gets pepper-sprayed and in the ensuing confusion, they all accidentally get off at the wrong station – an abandoned stop that’s been closed since the 1970s. Stranded, they make their way down the subway tunnel to find an exit – and witness a clan of primitive subway dwellers brutally killing a train guard. Spotted, the party try everything to escape to the world above, all the while being hunted by whatever ‘they’ are…

Stag Night is the directorial debut of writer Peter A. Dowling, the writer behind 2005’s Jodie Foster flick Flightplan. If you’ve ever seen the classic Donald Pleasance movie Deathline, or Chris Smith’s more recent Creep,...

Mystery Team Directed by Dan Eckman After Derrick Comedy won America's heart a few years back with their breakout youtube sensation, Bro Rape: A Newsline Investigative Report [1], the troupe could have easily faded into obscurity. They didn't, as fans of funny online videos can attest, and instead they convinced somebody to bankroll a film in which they star as emotionally stunted teenagers solving playground mysteries. And they made it funny. Derrick Comedy, if you're unfamiliar, is far from a one-hit wonder: since Bro Rape, the group has amassed an impressive catalog of absurd, violently impolitic youtubes that have a tendency to get passed around the internet. Much can be debated about the quality or tastefullness of these sketches, but it stands as fact that Derrick can execute a very, very silly idea with admirable dedication--for a quick reference, see apparent fan favorite (13 million views!)

It doesn't happen every day, but this week, you can see Chris Kattan doing something a little different. Known as one of the goofier Saturday Night Live alums, his gigs don't stretch much farther than head-swinging nights at the Roxbury and stints as Corky Romano. But now he's getting slightly more serious for IFC. See, Kattan's starring in a 3-part miniseries called Bollywood Hero, which kicks off on the 6th. He plays a fictionalized version of himself, sick of being skipped over for leading man gigs, so he heads to Bollywood to get a starring role in a film called Peculiar Dancing Boy. Sounds apt. There is, of course, comedy, but not the sort we're used to when Kattan's name popped up.

Speaking with the Fresno Bee, Kattan said: "The part about the heroic film lead is not true. I did want to be Indiana Jones when I was young.

Little is known about Bollywood -- India's counterpart to Hollywood -- by the vast majority of Americans. But Belisa Balaban and Ted Skillman, the executive producers behind IFC's "Bollywood Hero" three-night musical miniseries that debuts at 10 p.m. on August 6, are betting on the goodwill generated by best picture winner "Slumdog Millionaire" will intrigue viewers.

 

"There's an assumption amongst TV buyers, primarily, that Americans aren't interested in shows that take place outside of the States," Skillman says. "We've always wanted to tell stories that are more outward looking, that focus more on the world. And Bollywood, in particular, was interesting to us because it's simultaneously exotic and outward looking and yet has kind of a familiarity to it."

 

With this notion in mind, Balaban and Skillman came up with "Bollywood Hero," the journey of an actor who is having difficulty landing a lead "heroic" role in Hollywood. After being offered...

They make us laugh.  They make us cry.  Okay, maybe not so much.  But they sure make us laugh.  In honor of Judd Apatow’s latest film about stand-up comedians, we felt it was time to come up with our top 10 list of comedians turned actors.  Some of them have found more success in one area over the other.  Others have done a fine job walking the line between the two.  Regardless of how the success is dispersed, each individual on this list has reached it at some point in their career.

10. Chris Farley

One of the most successful SNL stars to branch out into the film world, Chris Farley is a legend in the comedy world.  Imagine if he had survived longer than his 33 years.  One of the most iconic images in the last 20 years of SNL is Farley dressed as a Chippendale’s dancer along with Patrick Swayze.

Graham Greene, Chris Kattan and Heather Matarazzo have signed with APA.

Greene, an Oscar nominee for Dances With Wolves, recently wrapped the indie film Pushing Up Daisies and has a voice role in the upcoming animated film The Legend of Secret Pass.

He also can be seen in the indie Breakfast With Scot, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. His credits include Transamerica and the TNT miniseries Into the West.

Graham continues to be repped by manager Susan Smith and the Gary Goddard Agency in Canada.

Kattan, best known for his eight seasons on NBC's Saturday Night Live, next appears in Christmas in Wonderland and has a voice role in the upcoming animated "Foodfight!"

His credits include the films Corky Romano and A Night at the Roxbury, the latter of which he co-wrote. He continues to be repped by 3 Arts Entertainment and attorney Karl Austen.

Matarazzo -- who earned an Independent Spirit Award for her film debut, Welcome to the Dollhouse -- next appears in the Logo series Exes & Ohs, which premieres Monday. She most recently appeared in the film Hostel: Part II. Her credits include the Princess Diaries films and Showtime's The L Word.

She continues to be managed by Jamie Freed at the Collective and attorney Marcy Morris.

Matthew Glave has been cast in the Fox comedy pilot Related by Family, from writer-producer Victor Fresco and Paramount Network Television. The project revolves around a blended family and two very different teenagers forced to live under the same roof when their parents remarry. Glave (Corky Romano) will play the father of the clan, joining Zachary Knighton, who was previously cast as one of the teens in the family (HR 11/24). Glave recently co-starred in Steven Bochco's Marriage project for HBO. His credits include NBC's ER and the features Rock Star and The Wedding Planner. Glave is repped by Innovative Artists.

In a pre-emptive buy, DreamWorks Pictures has paid mid-six figures for the comedy pitch Do That to Me One More Time from writing team David Garrett and Jason Ward with Jack Black attached to star as well as produce along with Bob Simonds. The project reteams Black with DreamWorks after the actor recently wrapped a starring role opposite Ben Stiller in the studio's comedy Envy. Garrett and Ward, who penned the 2001 Chris Kattan starrer Corky Romano for Simonds, will now pen the screenplay, about a Sonny and Cher-style couple who hate each other and have a War of the Roses-type relationship.
