The star-studded trailer includes Jessica Chastain, Jude Law, Channing Tatum, Rachel Weisz, Bradley Cooper, Oprah Winfrey, and more. Check it out.

If that is not enough, Kimmel later presented the behind-the-scenes story of the trailer in “Making of ‘Movie: The Movie 2V.'”

    Michelle Obama Jimmy Fallon

    As part of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign to end childhood obesity and encourage parents to get up and move around with their children, she appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this week.

    Controversial Video of the Week: “DJesus Uncrossed”

    Djesus Uncrossed SNL

    Last night, Saturday Night Live pondered what subject director Quentin Tarantino may tackle next after turning the Holocaust and American slavery into revenge fantasies in Inglourious Basterds (2009) and Django Unchained (2012). In a mock ad, this week’s host Christoph Waltz, who starred in both those movies, appeared in the starring role in a new Tarantino film, DJesus Uncrossed.

    While the short DJesus Uncrossed video seems mainly aimed at making fun of the Tarantino style and our fascination with revenge films, some have complained that it mocks Christians. Check it out and judge for yourself.

    How would you rate the video for “Djesus Uncrossed”: funny, so-so, or offensive? Leave your two cents in the comments.

    Act One: Fred Armisen as Ira Glass

    this american life ira glass Slate recently featured an essay about an episode of NPR’s This American Life that was co-hosted by Fred Armisen of Saturday Night Live and Portlandia. I am a fan of This American Life, even though I only sporadically catch it on the radio. I also loved the short-lived TV version of the show, watching every episode on DVD.

    Two years ago, Fred Armisen did an imitation of This American Life host Ira Glass on Saturday Night Live. But, you probably never saw it because it was only performed in dress rehearsal. Armisen later explained that they cut the bit because they concluded that Glass was not famous enough for an SNL segment so people would not get the humor.

    I can imagine if you have never heard of This American Life, you might not find the imitation funny. But if you have listened to or watched This American Life, like me you might find yourself laughing at this segment from Saturday Night Live that never made it on the air.

    Update September 2013: The Saturday Night Live video with Fred Armisen as Ira Glass is no longer available through NBC. But, you may hear Armisen imitating Glass at the beginning of the following This American Life episode on doppelgängers (FYI, the show’s link to the Armisen video takes you to NBC’s website but the video is no longer there):
