Last night on CollegeHumor's Live Cast Hardly Working's Jake and Amir announced a new show: Jake and Amir: Fired. Three thousand fans tuned into the live stream to ask questions about the new online special and upcoming DVD release. This is CollegeHumor's first (independent) foray into long-form content. Fired will be distributed through Facebook (and can be purchased with Facebook credits) as well as CollegeHumor.com. The DVD, distributed through Bustedtees and Amazon, will feature bonus footage including a short and behind-the-scenes clips. The 30-minute special was produced entirely in house at CollegHumor. In the story, CollegeHumor's CEO Alan Avery (played by Matt Walton) makes Jake an offer he doesn't refuse: fire Amir and get a promotion. But without Amir, life just isn't quite as good for ol' Jake, and the duo hatches a plan to get Amir his job back—hilarity ensues. "Fired is very much an extension...

Later this holiday season we'll get a taste of his first venture into big screen comedy with A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas opening on November 4th, but director Todd Strauss-Schulson has already lined up another gig. Heat Vision reports the comedy director is attached to helm an untitled action adventure comedy that will take place in Brazil. Details are being kept under wraps, but the filmmaker came up with the idea, developed it with Chris Galleta (who will write the screenplay) and will also produce the film through his Ulterior Productions banner along with experienced comedy production company Mosaic. If Mosaic doesn't sound familiar, they've produced films like Bad Teacher, Land of the Lost, and plenty of Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Judd Apatow collaborations. Though we've yet to see Strauss-Schulson's work on the big screen, his short films like Mano a Mano or Die Hardly Working pretty much speak...

The last CollegeHumor prank war was an epic, escalating battle of sado-one-upmanship between Amir Blumenfeld and Streeter Seidell involving, but not limited to, a $500,000 half court basketball shot, a non-working parachute, and a nonexistent television cameo. One of the best CollegeHumor original web series is a talk show comprised of improved conversations between an irreverent Michael Showalter and a rotating cast of well-known comedians. The above programs are very good and display CollegeHumor’s prowess with things both prank and talk. That’s probably why the humor website decided to combine the two entertainment genres for one of its latest online originals. Midnight Talk Show Prank was conceived by a slightly masochistic Dan Gurewitch. He gave a two-week window and copy of his house keys to fellow CollegeHumorer Josh Ruben with instructions to sneak into his apartment way after bedtime and wake him up to host an impromptu, short-form talk...
