Slow News Day: Whitest Kids, MST3K, Milonakis, Michael Ian Black, Catherine Keener, and Jane Curtin

ITEM: Remember when we talked to you about the new Whitest Kids U’Know show a while back? Well, don’t forget to watch the premiere tonight, unless of course you already caught in when it randomly aired a week ago unscheduled. Of course, if you’re like us and the rest of the world, you’ve barely even heard of Fuse TV, so you might have to settle for this mess of funny clips instead.

ITEM: According to Satellite News, the eleventh volume in the large, random, confusing, and unwieldy Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVD collection will be released on May 15, with the episodes The Ring of Terror, The Indestructible Man, Tormented, and Horrors of Spider Island, plus several shorts and features. Meanwhile, Mike Nelson and company continue their audio-riffage project Rifftrax, most recently taking on Terminator 3.

ITEM: The third season of The Andy Milonakis Show will premiere on iTunes and every other wacky new digital download service in the world on March 20, a full month before the premiere airs on MTV2. New episodes and exclusive shorts will continue to release digitally throughout the new season, which unfortunately hasn’t yet announced what hot new guest stars will be out-weirding each other this time around.

ITEM: Apparently Michaels Ian Black and Showalter are returning to Comedy Central with a new show called Michael Ian Black Doesn’t Understand. Somewhat ironically, there’s no more information on it at this time.

ITEM: Catherine Keener has joined Robert DeNiro, Bruce Willis, John Turturro, Sean Penn, and Stanley Tucci in Barry Levinson’s potential late-career-booster What Just Happened?, a reflexive comedy based on the life of legendary producer Art Linson.

ITEM: Famed ignorant slut Jane Curtin has signed on to producer Brian Grazer’s sitcom adaptation of the popular “work is hard!” memoir, Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office.
