Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell are paying tuition with "The House" this summer

Summer comedy season is a hit or miss period that can pop out some gems once in a while. Last year's Popstar Never Stop Never Stopping was a good example that no one saw. 22 Jump Street was in the same role two years prior. This year will have a few more will join the club including reboot Baywatch. And that movie will have the company of The House.

Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler star as two parents who can't pay for their daughter's college tuition. That's when Jason Mantzoukas's character suggests they open a casino in their home. Other cast members include Nick Kroll, Lennon Parham, Cedric Yarbrough, Rory Scovel, and Rob Huebel among others. Frequent Zac Efron collaborators Brendan O’Brien and Andrew J. Cohen wrote the script and Cohen directed.

Will Ferrell, Catherine Keener, and Michael Cera will be 'Captain Dad'

Three big stars have just signed onto a movie that sounds nothing like Jack Sparrow fighting against Mark Wahlberg for the love of two kids. Will Ferrell, Catherine Keener, and Michael Cera will star in Captain Dad, a dark comedy written and directed by The Maid's Sebastioan Silva. Deadline has the scoop as well as teh synopsis:

“Rich Peelman (Ferrell) gives his wife Linda (Keener) the gift of a lifetime for her birthday: a trip through the Caribbean on a sailboat with all six of their kids and their partners. Stubborn, competitive and overly confident in his sailing abilities that are clearly out of sync with reality, Rich is determined that the vacation be run on his terms. But things do not go according to plan. His “father knows best” attitude clashes with the rest of the Peelman clan. And by the end, even the most patient of the bunch are ready to throw Captain Dad overboard, bringing new meaning to the idea of the dysfunctional family.”

Will Ferrell spends '7 Minutes in Heaven' talking about coming up in comedy, chokes Mike O'Brien

That son of a gun Mike O'Brien is at it again with his talk show 7 Minutes in Heaven. This week, he brings Will Ferrell by to talk about his career in comedy. Our host spends an inordinate amount of time on Ferrell's earliest role in Drowning Mona, the two reminisce about being in the same gang and pretend to be trapped in paper bags while acting out of them.

And now Obama will appear on 'Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee'

Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has featured some of the best funny people around from Kevin Hart to Jimmy Fallon and Sarah Silverman. Now, the prolific breakfast show is getting its biggest guest yet in the form of the President of the United States. That's right; Barack Obama will join Seinfeld on an excursion to pick up a cup of Joe (let's hope Biden is okay with that). Deadline reports that the episode will air on December 30 and it was shot at the White House featuring a 1963 Corvette Stingray Split Window Coupe. Let's hope that this is the beginning of Obama's post-presidency reign on standup. Does he have the chops to be a comedian? Perhaps. It must be noted that the season also features big names like Will Ferrell, Steve Martin and Garry Shandling.
