Stiller and Meara

The comedy partnership of Stiller and Meara is an important touchstone in the American comedy landscape, spanning over 40 years and a section of two centuries. Successful as actors individually today, they were a ubiquitous husband and wife comedy duo in the 60's and 70's, performing on television variety shows like The Ed Sullivan Show, touring the club circuit and guesting in some very entertaining game shows.

Adorable and hilarious, they bring their comedy to the internet in their own web series. They're like your Mom and Dad - kvetching with love. I imagine Ben Stiller (Producer on this series) growing up with this banter at home.

Red Hour Films to Produce Two Web Series for Paramount

Thanks to the Twitterverse, I just caught this feed in the middle of wrapping up the work day: Paramount Digital Entertainment announced today that Ben Stiller's Red Hour Films has signed on to do two digital shorts for the four year old venture. One web series will be an animated version of the 2001 movie Zoolander, where Stiller will reprise the character of the fashion model, and the other will be Billy Glimmer: Entertainer of the Century, starring himself and Human Giant's Rob Huebel.

Nobody provides this source better than Dave Itzoff, who interviewed Stiller on this new venture over at NYTimes.com.
