Joe Rogan is quite aware that, to most people, he’s “that dude from ‘Fear Factor.'” And for those who don’t think of him that way, well, it’s because they still think of him as “that dude from ‘NewsRadio.'” He generally rolls with it, but, yeah, it rankles him a little bit, mostly because he’s been a stand-up comedian for 18 years now and surprisingly few people realize it. Of course, his profile in the field was raised considerably after a recent on-stage dust-up with Carlos Mencia, and it’ll undoubtedly get even higher with the emergence of his second comedy CD,…

Confession time. We received this flick way back in October 2006, and it sat around the Bullz-Eye offices, unwatched, for quite some time. Ultimately, the reason for our hesitation was because of one line on the back of the DVD box: “Featuring uncensored footage not seen in the Sci-Fi Channel broadcast.” This sentence might seem innocuous enough – indeed, it might even inspire some people to want to watch the film, because everyone knows that the phrase “uncensored footage” quite often equals “bare boobies” (it certainly does in this case). But honestly, have you seen the films that the Sci-Fi…

The reputation of “Caligula,” the motion picture about the cruel, perverse and possibly insane Emperor who reigned over Rome from 37 to 41 A.D, is such that people who haven’t seen the film can never believe it’s really as awful as it’s said to be. There is no documented case, however, of any of those skeptics finally seeing the film and saying, “Oh, it wasn’t that bad.” That’s because it is that bad…and possibly worse. It was just a little more than 27 years ago that Roger Ebert famously opened his review of “Caligula” by describing it as “sickening, utterly…

He’s one of Hollywood’s most recognizable actors (on an episode of “Will and Grace,” his character was described as “a tall, sexy whooping crane”), and for the first time in almost 27 years, Jeff Goldblum is getting ready to star in a prime-time network series. “Raines,” created by Graham Yost (“Boomtown”), is the story of an LAPD detective who, um…well, to put it succinctly, he solves murders by using hallucinations of the victims as a sounding board for his theories. (We’ve seen the pilot, and it plays out as a pretty cool premise, with Goldblum at his deadpan comedic best.)…

It’s been more than half a decade since Andy Richter left his post as Conan O’Brien’s sidekick, and in that time he’s managed to carve out a nice niche for himself as a comedic Everyman. He pops up in this movie and that (including, most recently, “Talladega Nights”), guesting on countless sitcoms, and even getting a few of his own, like Andy Richter Controls the Universe” and “Quintuplet”s.” Now, however, Richter’s re-teaming with O’Brien. Except that, this time, Conan has co-created and is executive producing Andy’s new show, entitled “Andy Barker, P.I.” Bullz-Eye sat in on a teleconference with Richter…

When one drops the name Andrew Dice Clay in conversation in 2007, there are really just three responses likely to result: 1) “The Diceman, baby! Fuck, yeah!” 2) “Omigod, is he still around? I used to think he was so funny…” 3) “Andrew Dice Clay? I fucking hate that guy!” Yes, it’s a testament to the man’s notoriety – if not necessarily his comedic longevity – that even though most would agree his heyday ended in the early ‘90s, his name still inspires recognition at the very least, and, at the most, a 50/50 split between devotion and revulsion. Now…

You might be a redneck if you’re a fan of Jeff Foxworthy…but, then again, you might just enjoy good stand-up comedy, a commodity which he consistently delivers. Whether you live south of the Mason-Dixon line or not, it’s easy to appreciate the man’s likeable delivery, which might explain how he came to be the host of Fox’s new game show, “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” With a plum timeslot for its first few airings – right behind “American Idol” – the show’s got a premise that Foxworthy believes will cross demographical lines and draw a wide variety of…

First things first: neither Seth MacFarlane nor Ricky Blitt can be seen in the above photo. Clockwise, you’re looking at Erinn Hayes, Lenny Clarke, Rob Corddry, Linda Hart, and Keir Gilchrist, known collectively as the cast of Fox’s new sitcom, “The Winner.” Blitt, meanwhile, is the show’s creator, while MacFarlane’s serving as executive producer. This means that they’re very busy people…too busy, in fact, to waste time having publicity photos taken. (In particular, MacFarlane has his hands full with both “Family Guy” and “American Dad!”) Maybe that’s for the best, though. There’s probably a very good reason that they’re known…

Is it an insult when you’re known less for your looks or your acting abilities than for the glasses your character wears? If so, Jack Coleman – who plays the enigmatic H.R.G. (Horn-Rimmed Glasses) on “Heroes” – doesn’t seem to be complaining about it. In a recent teleconference for NBC, he mostly seemed happy to be working on another successful series (he used to be on “Dynasty,” you know), particularly on one that’s as well-written as “Heroes.” Although the call was packed to the rafters, Bullz-Eye was able to get in a handful of questions to Coleman about his character…

Hooray! Another excuse to talk about how completely hilarious “How I Met Your Mother” is! And make no mistake, my friends: it’s so funny that it’s made the jump from the Bubbling Under section of our TV Power Rankings into the proper Top 20. The show has one of the best comedy ensembles on television, including Neil Patrick Harris (“Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle”), Alyson Hannigan (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), and Jason Segel (“Freaks and Geeks”), but the two breakout stars of the show are Josh Radnor (Ted) and Cobie Smulders (Robin). Bullz-Eye was fortunate enough to score…
