All of us were shocked with the news of Michelle Trachtenberg’s sudden passing at just 39 years old. Whenever someone in the prime of their life passes, it can hit harder than others. There was clearly so much more life left for her to live and it’s truly tragic. People coming out of the woodwork with their opinions on her life, her career, and even her death. It’s clear that Michelle was a very special person that her friends and family will truly miss. We here at JoBlo are big fans of the actress and felt the need to highlight some of her best roles/performances. So let’s take a look at all the times that Michelle stole our hearts.

Harriet the Spy

The film that put Trachtenberg on the map showed so much potential as the young sleuth. Her comedic timing was impeccable and she was genuinely cool.

There are a few places where it feels like whatever you're watching is being broadcast directly from an alternate universe — roadside motel televisions, public access channels from towns you've never been to, and Adult Swim after midnight. It's a feeling that anyone who has fallen asleep in the middle of watching "Robot Chicken" only to be startled awake and greeted by the hypnotic surrealism of a show like "Infomercials" knows intimately: where what stares back at you from the TV screen is so bizarre and phantasmagorical that you can't help but answer its call like a sailor drawn to a rock by a siren.

Although he has built a great career in comedy, Seth Green, who co-created adult animated comedy show Robot Chicken, had an initiation into the industry that involves a dark encounter with none other than SNL alum Bill Murray. Green recalled meeting the Ghostbusters legend in the hallways of Studio 8 while doing Saturday Night Live, and it wasn't pretty. Green has talked about this incident in the past, but now he shares that the advice he got afterward was the only thing he needed to go on.

The actor of franchises like Austin Powers spoke to ComicBook about the 20th anniversary of Robot Chicken, the stop-motion sketch show he co-created with Matthew Senreich for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Green was asked about the incident when he got into an argument with comedy legend Bill Murray when he was just nine years old, and he was supposed to appear on...

The cause and manner of Michelle Trachtenberg’s death will remain undetermined, according to the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Trachtenberg’s famly requested that no autopsy be conducted because of religious reasons. The medical examiner’s office would automatically do an autopsy if foul play or criminality was suspected, but there is none, so the office did not overrule the family’s decision.

Police responded to a 911 call shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday at a luxury residential tower in midtown Manhattan where Trachtenberg was found unresponsive. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. She was 39.

The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl star had recently undergone a liver transplant and may have suffered complications, police sources told ABC News.

A spokesperson for the family issued a statement Wednesday confirming her death. “It is with great sadness to confirm that Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away.

A few days ago, Evan posted a photo of himself with Nick, captioning it, “One song turned into 10 real quick.” He followed that up with another post of the two performing one of their new tunes alongside singer-guitarist Jacob Bunton, writing, “Wrote this one with our buddy Jacob yesterday.”

Paul Stanley commented on the performance simply with the word, “Magic!!!!,” while Nick’s sister Sophie Simmons wrote, “We Want The Album.”

According to ABC News, Trachtenberg was found dead by her mother on the morning of Wednesday, February 26th. Her cause of death was not immediately known, but is not being investigated as suspicious. She had also recently undergone a liver transplant.

Robot Chickenis getting ready to celebrate two decades of entertaining audiences from all over the world with unpredictable parodies. According to Variety, the acclaimed animated series is preparing to launch a marathon on Adult Swim in order to celebrate the occasion. Episodes from every season of the show will air this month on the channel during weeknights, Monday through Thursday beginning at 12:30am Et/Pt, and a few Robot Chicken specials airing on Sundays at 1am Et/Pt. Viewers will get a chance to take a look at some of their favorite moments from the legacy of Robot Chicken once again.

“Robot Chicken” was not the first stop-motion comedy show to feature commercial toys for sketches, but the show has now lasted longer than anyone involved with it could have ever anticipated. For co-creator Seth Green, the original impetus for what would become “Robot Chicken” was a rather simple desire.

“We didn’t set out to make a show, and especially weren’t intending to make a show that was going to last a long time,” Green told IndieWire ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Adult Swim animated sketch comedy show. “My partner Matt Senreich and I were trying to figure out how to make just animated sketch comedy shorts using toys. I thought that was really fun.” Twenty years later, and “Robot Chicken” is still popular. It has over 200 episodes, has parodied everything from “Sesame Street” and “He-Man” to “Star Wars” and “Pokémon,” and earned two Annie Awards and six Emmys.

Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” will celebrate its 20th anniversary with an all-new special set to premiere this summer.

The popular stop-motion sketch comedy series’ first installment since 2022 will follow the Nerd on a journey of self discovery through iconic reality shows from Warner Bros. Discovery’s networks, including Discovery Channel, Food Network and TLC.

“Will he find a 90 Day Fiancé — or end up Shark Week chum?,” the logline reads.

The series, which is created, executive produced, written and directed by and stars Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, first premiered in February 2005 and has become well known for its pop culture parodies.

Other executive producers include co-head writers Douglas Goldstein and Tom Root, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, John Harvatine IV and Eric Towner.

“Twenty years ago, we set out to make the kind of funny and unexpected show that we would want to watch. And somehow, we’re still here, making...

In honor of the 20th anniversary of Robot Chicken, the stop-motion animated series is getting an all-new special. While the special is coming to Adult Swim in Summer 2025, the news was officially announced 20 years to the day after the series premiered its very first episode.

Robot Chicken first premiered on Adult Swim on Feb. 20, 2005. Created by and starring Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, the series has since earned 23 Emmy nominations with six total wins, including its most recent win in 2022 for Outstanding Short Form Animated Program. Teased to feature parodies of fan-favorite shows from Discovery, Food Network, and TLC, The Robot Chicken Self-Discovery Special, follows "the hapless Robot Chicken Nerd as he seeks self-discovery America’s way: going on reality shows! Will he find a 90 Day Fiancé – or end up Shark Week chum?"

A recent string of aviation accidents has forced Adult Swim to do the unthinkable: They’re censoring Eric André.

The last week of air travel in America was so disastrous that even adult animation felt the aftershocks. Following deadly crashes in Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim are scrambling to ensure that their entertainment options aren’t of the “unintentionally macabre” variety as the country searches for answers. But while the White House wages a war on the Faa and all other federal agencies, the most popular programming block for teen-and-adult-focused comedy shows is more worried about the FCC as they scrub certain episodes of hit shows from their upcoming schedule.

As it turns out, a surprisingly high number of upcoming airings on Adult Swim would have featured plane crashes and problematic imagery during this difficult time in aviation. Here is each episode that Adult Swim...

The cable channel Cartoon Network and its adult-geared programming block Adult Swim are reportedly taking episodes out of their rerun rotations following the recent plane crashes in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The X account Cn News/Schedules reported on Friday, January 31, that The Amazing World of Gumball’s “The Saint,” Courage The Cowardly Dog’s “Scuba-Scuba Doo,” Family Guy’s “Boy (Dog) Meets Girl (Dog)” and “Yug Ylimaf,” Robot Chicken’s “Happy Russian Deathdog Dolloween 2 U” and The Eric Andre Show’s “Hannibal Quits” will be pulled from the schedule for the next two weeks “due to depicting, or joking about, plane crashes.” ComicBook.com has plot details for each episode: As the site reports, “The Saint,” “Yug Ylimaf,” and “Scuba-Scuba Dog” all depict aviation accidents; “Boy (Dog) Meets Girl (Dog)” contains a 9/11 joke; “Happy Russian Deathdog Dolloween 2 U” features a reference to the plane crash in Donnie Darko...

Cartoon Network has a long history of offering just as many huge disappointments as hit shows. While some cartoons like Adventure Time and Clarence were controversial, they developed a strong fanbase and received many positive reviews. On the other hand, some shows failed to impress most viewers due to weak premises, uninteresting plots, and sometimes simply annoying characters.

From the incredibly disappointing Teen Titans Go! reboot to the ridiculous premise of The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange, some Cartoon Network shows divided fans.

Emilia Clarke became uber famous when she was cast in Game of Thrones as the dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen. Emilia accumulated a massive fan base because her character is an icon in the A Song of Ice and Fire universe. At the time when she took on her role, Emilia had only a few minor roles in three projects, but after the success, many wanted to work with her.

Emilia has worked on over 20 projects since then, and while none of them outshone her portrayal as Daenerys, she has proven that she can play various types of characters. With several Marvel projects, a role in the Star Wars universe, and even an appearance as Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genesys, this British Thespian has built a solid career since her Game of Thrones days. The busy actress has six projects in the works, among them An Ideal Wife, a biopic on Oscar Wilde's wife.

Comedian Margaret Cho wowed Celebrity Jeopardy! viewers on Wednesday night (January 22) with two massive Daily Double wagers that lead to a dominant victory. Cho, who was playing for the charity Friendly House, faced off against The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan (playing for Covenant House NY) and Robot Chicken co-creator and voice star Seth Green (playing for the LA Food Bank). The game started off on fairly even footing, with Cho answering 12 clues correctly in the opening round, Green answering 9, and Brosnahan answering 7. This gave Cho a slight lead with $3,500 over Brosnahan’s $1,700 and Green’s $1,600. Things continued steady in Double Jeopardy, though Green had a chance to take a significant lead after betting it all on a Daily Double. Unfortunately for him, it didn’t pay off. Instead, Cho continued to rack up correct answers, maintaining her lead with $8,100 heading into Triple Jeopardy. Meanwhile, Brosnahan followed behind with...

Still, the host (who many of you may not realise voiced DC's Cheetah in Robot Chicken a few years ago) did leave a handful of jokes on the cutting room floor which she decided went perhaps a step too far.

Among them was a brutal jab at last October's Joker: Folie à Deux.

An insider at The Hollywood Reporter, who I am suuuuure can be trusted 100%, recently informed the world that actor Zachary Levi was disappointed and “bitter” that he didn’t rise to Chris Evans or The Rock level of stardom after Shazam. Nobody can be sure if these were his true feelings, but to many, the science has been settled, and this is how he feels. So the dude became a Robert F Kennedy Jr. fan, which resulted in a Trump endorsement and running away from… or rather, escaping, LA. He now spends his time on a ranch in Texas, where, apparently, he is going to focus on making faith-based films. So, did they cancel Zachary Levi, or did they set him free?

As an actor, his silliness is always believable, especially when he pretty much plays himself, a lovable man-child who can do action scenes, like in the hilarious show Chuck.

Robot Chicken produces many hilarious sketches, but the show’s Christmas skits are some of the best. Robot Chicken is one of the best Adult Swim series of all time, and throughout the last 11 seasons, the show has kept audiences laughing. While there are multiple dedicated animated Christmas episodes of Robot Chicken, some of its greatest holiday-themed sketches are also from regular installments of the show.

Many think of Rick and Morty when discussing the best animated TV shows ever, but a lot of viewers aren’t aware that Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken is a fantastic watch, too. Robot Chicken uses claymation to bring their ridiculously wacky and comical sketches to life, and like many other titles, they release Christmas-themed skits during the holiday season. There are loads of Robot Chicken Christmas sketches to enjoy, but some are better than others.

Quick ViewMelissa Rauch’s Net Worth: How Much Did She Earn From The Big Bang Theory?How Much Did Melissa Rauch Make From Her Lead Role In Night Court?Melissa Rauch’s Net Worth Compared To Other Tbbt Stars

Melissa Rauch made her debut on The Big Bang Theory in its third season as Bernadette Rostenkowski. Rauch initially appeared in a recurring role before the audience’s appeal for her character forced the creators to make her a series regular. With her terrifyingly sweet performance and unique voice, which is very different from her original voice, it was no wonder that she quickly became a fan favorite.

Rauch played the love interest and later wife of Howard Wolowitz. She began the series as Penny’s co-worker at the Cheese Cake Factory and later went on to become a high-earning microbiologist.

In the earliest episodes of Rick and Morty, nearly all of the action was focused on the two titular leads, but as the seasons have rolled by, Morty’s teenage sister Summer has become a considerable presence on the show in her own right. She’s worked for the devil, become the queen to a bunch of aliens, had an incest baby with her brother and single-handedly killed a group of bad guys trying to “do a Die Hard.”

Spencer Grammer is the woman who has given the teen her voice — as well as helped further hone that voice after all these years. I recently spoke to Grammer about Summer’s most badass moments, how she’s found herself becoming as vulgar as Summer and the lines she knows every Rick and Morty fan wants to hear (they’re also very vulgar).

What drew you to voice acting?

It’s sort of a sad story.

Jackson, on the other hand, had only worked on video games through voice acting, but his career in movies and TV took off after working on a Burton movie.

Aside from voicing the Ghostface, Roger L. Jackson has brought dozens of characters to life through his method of acting. His biggest role outside the realm of horror would be voicing Mojo Dojo in The Powerpuff Girls, including the 2002 movie. As for video games, Jackson has...
