Exclusive: Comedian and podcaster Chad Daniels announced on Tuesday morning that his latest stand-up special, Empty Nester, is set to premiere on Netflix on July 16th.

In his tenth comedy special, Daniels explains that he’s an empty nester, as his kids are now 20 and 24. His new hour sees him head to St. Paul, the capital of his home state, to get brutally honest about what it’s like being an empty nester, throwing another hat in the dating ring, and standing firmly in the middle of whatever road he stands in.

Eric Abrams directed Empty Nester, with Matt Schuler and Jesse Chieffo producing. Daniels and Alex Goodman served as executive producers. Check out a trailer for the special above.

With 22+ tracks that have reached over a million listens on Pandora, and over a billion total streams of his albums to date, Daniels is one of the most listened-to comedians of all time.

Stand-up comedian Chad Daniels has signed with CAA.

He is originally from, and remains based in Minnesota, and has been touring for more than 20 years with his comedy take on parenting and other stories about his life. Daniels got his start as a standup comic by appearing at an open-mic night at the Acme Comedy Company in Minneapolis.

Daniels has made six late night appearances and is one of 13 comics to be featured on The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien. He also appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and hosted a half hour special for Comedy Central.

His 2017 album, Footprints on the Moon, hit No. 2 on Billboard‘s comedy albums chart. In 2019, Daniels’ third stand-up special and fifth album, Dad Chaniels, was released, now streaming on YouTube.

His podcast Middle of Somewhere with co-host Cy Amundson is released weekly with extra content on Patreon @MOSPodcast.

Quite a number of ESPN personalities have left for Fox Sports in recent years, but at least one prominent member of the sportstalk media went the other way: Katie Nolan has told GQ why she did the exact opposite in October. In a way, it’s all Cris Carter’s fault, and we’ve got the video evidence.

Nolan was a young, rising star when Fox debuted “Garbage Time With Katie Nolan” in March 2015. By February 2017, Nolan was literally taking her show on the road for Super Bowl Li — those live versions in Houston, featuring co-worker Carter as a main-chair guest, are where it all went wrong.

We’re mostly kidding about Carter being the problem, but his appearance and the argument that ensued turned out to be the impetus. Bigger-picture-wise, it was others meddling in her unique comedy/sports-hybrid format that put “Garbage Time” on the trash heap, Nolan now says.

Super Bowl Lii is nearly upon us, and with the big game comes over-eating, funny commercials, and, yes, lots and lots of gambling. While TheWrap does not endorse wagering in states or countries where sports betting is illegal, we decided to have some fun with ESPN personalities Katie Nolan, Mike Golic Jr. and Cy Amundson. Senior TV reporter and resident football expert Tony Maglio (pictured above on the Golic Jr.-third) got in on the just-for-fun gaming.

What does it take to be a good partner? Openness, communication, an active interest in what's important to the person you're with. It's good advice for your love life, but as Jeremy Sisto finds out in "Break Point," those tips work well on the tennis court too.  Director Jay Karas, who has logged time behind the camera on "Workaholics," "Parks & Recreation," "Raising Hope" and "After Lately," makes his feature debut here rounding up a pretty solid ensemble including David Walton, Joshua Rush, J.K. Simmons, Amy Smart, Adam DeVine, Chris Parnell, Vincent Ventresca, Cy Amundson and Jenny Wade.
