kids in the hall

ABC picks up pilot from Kids in the Hall alum

by Julia Ward, posted Jan 25th 2007 12:12PM

Kids in the HallThe career trajectories of the former Kids in the Hall have been fascinating to behold. Dave Foley went from a starring turn in News Radio to a funny, but strange co-hosting gig on Celebrity Poker Showdown. Mark McKinney appeared briefly on SNL and now sits around the writer's room of Studio 60 hoping Aaron Sorkin will throw him a bone and actually let him write something. Kevin McDonald turns up in bit parts everywhere and keeps a steady gig as the voice of Lilo and Stitch's alien life form Pleakley. Scott Thompson visits Conan every once in awhile, but my favorite Bruce McCulloch's post-Kids appearances have been few and far between. McCulloch served a brief stint as a SNL writer and wrote and directed the forgettable film Dog Park.

NBC orders Thank God You're Here

by Julia Ward, posted Jan 20th 2007 2:03PM

Dave Foley Thank God You're HereNBC has ordered six episodes of celebrity improv competition Thank God You're Here. The series, which was originally produced in Australia, is being described as Whose Line is it Anyway? meets Let's Make a Deal. Celebrity guests will choose one of several doors to open. Behind each door, a comedy sketch they know nothing about is being performed. Whether they stumble into an operating room, a motorcycle race or an undersea adventure, they'll be greeted by the line, "Thank God you're here!" From that point, the celeb is on his or her own. Their performances will be judged by Kids in the Hall alum Dave Foley and host David Alan Grier.

Kids in the Hall honor the bass player - VIDEO

by Adam Finley, posted Jan 6th 2007 9:02AM

les claypoolI hope this information won't make you think any less of me, but I'm a bass player. My parents didn't plan on having a bass player, it was my father's hope that I would follow in his footsteps and become a trumpet player, but low lung capacity and an inability to remember which end of the trumpet to blow into resulted in the inevitable: I turned to the electric bass (and later the upright bass).

Here!'s Buddy Cole cartoon

by Annie Wu, posted Jan 14th 2006 8:05PM

Buddy ColeConservative groups like the American Family Association have been having a fit over the alleged "homosexual agenda" of The Book of Daniel. Well here's another show for them to worry about, but this time, there's definitely no need for "alleged". Here!, the gay lifestyle network, has announced that they plan on creating a cartoon based on the Kids in the Hall character, Buddy Cole. In the show, Buddy, the owner of a gay bar, suddenly becomes a parent when his orphaned niece shows up one day. He also comes under the scrutiny of a conservative city councilman. Animated hilarity is expected to ensue.

Buddy brought the funny as a few-minutes-long sketch on Kids in the Hall, but will he be enough to create an entire series? Well, I guess he's more material to work with than that "I'm crushing your head!" guy (who I still, to this day, imitate at random intervals).
