Zachary Quinto is following in Leonard Nimoy's footsteps again and is set to host a new UFO series for The History Channel called In Search Of.

The network has ordered 10-episodes of the new series, and each episode will "follow Quinto as he investigates a different subject within a dynamic theme — think: alien encounters, mysterious creatures, UFO sightings, time travel and artificial intelligence — and searches for the truth to some of the world’s greatest mysteries."

In 2017, Netflix plans to release multiple stand-up specials from comedians like Jim Gaffigan, Neal Brennan, Cristela Alonzo and Bill Burr. But the first one out of the gate comes from Jen Kirkman with her new special “Just Keep Livin’?”, a sequel to her 2015 Netflix special “I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine).” Filmed at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, Kirkman jokes about people who won’t travel alone, getting a tattoo at 41 and male feminists. Watch a trailer for the special below featuring Kirkman’s advice to creepy street harassers.

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville is hard to pin down. While he made his name with music docs, from Oscar-winner “20 Feet from Stardom” to Yo-Yo Ma concert film “The Music of Strangers” (HBO/The Orchard), he’s moving away from music subjects. “There are a handful of music docs I’d love to do, including David Bowie,” he said in a phone interview. “But at the moment I’m interested in stretching myself on projects on design, food, and art.”
Over the last year, Neville jumped into the debates between Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley for “Best of Enemies,” (Participant/Magnolia) and took an unexpected ride with Chelsea Handler on Netflix documentary series “Chelsea Does.”
Netflix approached Neville after working with him on “Keith Richards: Under the Influence.” Said Neville, “I’d worked on music docs for years. It felt like writing a novel. By the time I got to Keith Richards,...

Chelsea Handler has lost control, and not in the vodka-fueled manner one might expect from the former late-night queen. For her new Netflix documentary miniseries, Chelsea Does, the self-described "control freak" relinquished her power and let others take charge.
"It was a complete departure from anything I had ever done," she says. The New Jersey native had curated a self-deprecating, mean-party-girl image in a series of comedic memoirs (her 2005 book, My Horizontal Life, was the first of five she's penned to date) and eight years as a host on E!

If you can ingest it, snort it or inhale it, there's a good chance Chelsea Handler will put it in her body.

We'll have to wait and see which is the most lethal after all.

Chelsea Handler's been an intriguing figure for the last two years, following her escape from E! and the celebrity gossip grind for a sexy new deal on Netflix. What exactly that deal would lead to was originally unclear — because binge-viewing and late night chatter don't seem mutually conducive — but now we have a sense of what's up, and when, more importantly, we can expect to see it. This January, Handler's four documentary specials, featuring her tackling the subjects of marriage, drugs, Silicon Valley and racism from her unique point of view, will premiere (as per usual, all at once) on the streaming service. Oh, and for those wondering how legit the "documentary" part of this equation is, the series is directed by Oscar and Emmy-nominated Eddie Schmidt ("This Film Is Not Yet Rated,...
