In this week’s installment of our partnership with 5by, the video discovery and messaging platform that curates the web’s best viral videos, we take a look at the top five videos of the week from the platform’s TV category. For background on the videos selected, Theo Tabah, 5by’s Head of Content:
Two TV greats and a cast of super heroes came together to create a viral sensation this week, when the cast from The Avengers played Family Feud on Jimmy Kimmel. Both teams gave it their all, but it was pretty clear who the brains were, and which team was all brawn.
James Corden continued to kill it this week and is clearly becoming a new major player in the late night space. This week, his Carpool Karaoke segment featured Jennifer Hudson, and man can she sing. Whether it was rocking out to one of her tracks, or cruising through the drive-thru ordering burgers, Hudson showed off her vocal skills in an impressive and comedic fashion.
AdvertisementThe new trailer for Orange is the New Black aired last week, and this week, a first-look at the new season surfaced. It showcased none other than female felons arguing loudly in a prison cafeteria… shocker. No, but in all honesty, the season is looking promising and I can’t wait until it kicks off in early June.
This Wednesday was tax day, and even though it’s a pretty rough day for everyone, John Oliver wanted you to sympathize with the IRS. Whether it’s payments made with mustard covered cheques, or unimaginably dated office supplies (like, how-is-that-not-in-a-museum old), Oliver shines a new light on the IRS that will have you catching your tongue before you file next year.
Amy Schumer, nefariously known for being somewhat of a vulgar, but hilarious, female comic with little-to-no boundaries, was on Ellen this week and had Ellen laughing uncontrollably. She essentially does a seated stand-up bit, and it was incredible. Truly a perfect mix of self-ridicule and hard Los Angeles truths.
