This Sunday, the Grammys are going down in Los Angeles. As you probably know there’s an oft-ignored category for Best Comedy Album. You also probably know, that the Grammy peeps almost always ignore the dozens of great stand-up albums put out each year. Here’s a list of 9 they ignored this year, not counting Patton Oswalt’s My Weakness is Strong, which, by the grace of the comedy gods, was, in fact nominated.

But since Patton is up against mainstream comedy hams Kathy Griffin and George Lopez – he was nominated based on a vinyl release of his album (loop hole?); the real CD and digital version wasn’t even released when the nominations were announced – the trailblazing, incredibly talented comic doesn’t have a prayer.

On last night’s Lopez Tonight, George’s chat show on TBS, he and Griffin did one of those sassy back-and-forths about who’s going to win the Grammy. Check it out. Warning: Extra sassy!

The Grammys air on CBS, starting at 8 pm EST, if you want to torture yourself.

Jennifer Lopez did stand-up comedy on Lopez Tonight last night on TBS. Take a breath, and we’ll meet you at the beginning of the next paragraph.

Ok, now, we can look at this in one of two ways. First option is this: J.Lo, one of the biggest names in the history of celebrity, is tarnishing the art form that is stand-up by entitling herself to an incredibly visible spot that most struggling comics would murder their parents for.

Second option: J.Lo, one of the biggest names in the history of celebrity, is bringing to light the art of stand-up comedy to millions who would otherwise not be exposed to it and thus re-energizing the national comedy scene.

To make ourselves feel better, we’re going with the latter.

But what we really want to know is how you think she did? So, for the love of comedy, watch the clip below and please leave your opinions in the comments section. Enjoy!

TBS has just announced a new reality show that taps into the fertile comedic landscape of the juvenile adult male. The show, entitled Frat House, follows a similar premise to the movie Old School: a group of guys goes back to living a fraternity lifestyle in search of simpler times. Comedians Bret Ernst, Theo Von and Bert Kreischer will host the show and lead the volunteers on their quest for “bro-topia.”

Frat House is being produced by Bunin-Murray, the production company behind The Real World and Keeping Up With the Kardashians. It remains to be seen whether this frat comedy/reality show will measure up to TBS’ standard of “very funny.”

There’s about to be a lot more stand-up on cable TV, and it isn’t relegated to HBO or Comedy Central. Starting Nov. 19 , TBS will air The Very Funny Show, a series consisting of stand-up sets featuring headlining comics from around the country.

The show will be hosted by Tim Meadows, and feature interviews with the comedians that appear. Guests will include John Mulaney, Pete Correale, Nick Thune, Al Madrigal, and many others.

The sets were taped at the Just For Laughs Chicago Comedy Festival earlier this year. The complete list of comedians and air times are below.

* Thursday, Nov. 19, at 12 a.m. (ET/PT) Henry Cho and Nick Thune

You may know by now that George Lopez will enter the late night chat show fray this fall, when he begins hosting Lopez Tonight on TBS. The network is promising that the Lopez show will distance itself from other late-night shows — current and past — by offering the television audience a more amped-up atmosphere, complete with a street party and lots of audience interaction. The premiere is set for Nov. 9. The show will run Monday through Thursday for an hour beginning at 11 pm. That said, we wanted to share with you this new video promo from TBS.

So let us know what you think. Are you going to watch the show when it premieres?

Back in April, Punchline Magazine reported on the announcement of TBS’ upcoming Chicago comedy festival, AKA TBS Presents a Very Funny Festival: Just For Laughs. Now, the network plans to take it one step further. The self-described “Very Funny” cable channel has just announced plans to launch a late night stand-up T.V. series, hosted by Tim Meadows.

The show will use footage taped at the aforementioned festival. The show’s 10 episodes will be made up of sets from 30 comedians who appeared at Chicago’s Zanies Comedy Club.

“This series demonstrates how our comedy festivals are more than just first-rate showcases through which we can extend the TBS brand,” says Dennis Adamovich, TBS’ senior vice president and general manager of comedy festivals. “They are also an outstanding opportunity to mine fresh talent for the network’s comedy lineup.”

The TBS festival will also fuel full-fledged specials by Ellen Degeneres, Martin Short and David Alan Grier.
