Insane Things I Found Out This Week

 Surely Mark Wahlberg is doing well enough that he wouldn't have to star in a reality show. I mean, he's an Academy Award nominee and is set to appear in one of the biggest films of the year, Transformers: Age of Extinction. However, this is unbelievably an actual thing. The brilliantly named 'Wahlburgers' is set to air on Lifetime in April and will feature Marky Mark, his mother and brothers, Alma, chef Paul and New Kid on the Block Donnie as they open and run the Boston restaurant of the same name.

What would you say if I told you that Scottish Dance Producing Superstar, Calvin Harris, is developing a half hour comedy program based on his career thus far? You'd probably say “that's pretty weird”. Well, what if I told you two of the shows producers are Jay-Z and Will Smith? Trust me, it gets even weirder. I sh*t you not, the show will be written by Trainspotting and Filth author, Irvine Welsh. Now I bet you're all like “Say whaaaaaa-”.
 
A pilot has been ordered by HBO and considering the names behind it, I can't imagine it not getting picked up. Even though this isn't as unusual as Will Smith funding a sitcom written by Irvine Welsh based on the life of Calvin Harris, it does seem odd that it is being developed for American television rather than Scottish or British. If picked up, I imagine Sky Atlantic's exclusive deal with HBO will have the Welsh penned sitcom airing in the UK soon after. Also, did you know Calvin Harris isn't his real name? The whole thing's given me a headache but I'm very intrigued to see how the show turns out.

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is a Youtube series featuring US comedian Jerry Seinfeld supported by Crackle. Each episode features Seinfeld and a friend (past guests have included Ricky Gervais, Mel Brooks and Alec Baldwin) driving to get a cup of coffee and sharing some light-hearted banter.

This week a trailer surfaced for a porn parody of Seinfeld's interview with Sarah Silverman. Even with being one of the few who saw the original video (which has under 100,000 views on Youtube), I did not once think while watching it “This would make great porn.” The sort of SFW trailer Comedians In Cars Getting Sex! (not as clever as 'Wahlbergers', is it?) trailer can be found on Youtube and is arguably worth a watch just for the mediocre impressions and cringeworthy dialogue. I don't know how many people watch these porn parodies but this may be one of the only ones to be seen by more people than the source material. After this and the 30 Rock parody by the same director, the Tina Fey Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee parody is surely on the cards.
