Gotham, Electus, College Humor Productions and the gang at DumbDumb (aka Will Arnett & Jason Bateman) have joined forces once again with funnyman Champ Kind David Koechner to launch season two of “Always Open,” which if you don’t know is a series where Koechner chats it up with celebs inside a Denny’s. First up to bat is the fetching actress Jessica Biel, who receives a rather disappointing gift from our host, talks about her climb up Mount Kilimanjaro (which was par of the HP “Summit on the Summit” campaign) and a hypothetical situation surrounding it. It’s dry and may evoke a chuckle or two, just like last season. Upcoming guests this time around include Maya Rudolph and Christina Applegate.

Arrested Development star Will Arnett, who’s no stranger to commercial work having served as the VO on GMC truck ads and co-creator of those Orbit shorts along with Jason Bateman, hams it up in a new holiday campaign from BBDO for AT&T dubbed “You’ve Got a Case.” Here, the comedic actor plays a lawyer-for-hire named Kent Wesley and plugs the telecom giant’s 4G smartphone/Facebook app with a bit more cockiness, charm and pizazz than chubby Luke Wilson. It’s everything you’d expect from the man who’s resurrecting his classic role as Gob in the near future thanks to Netflix. Credits, which will tell you that is not the handiwork of new AT&T creatives Rick Ardito and Grant Smith, after the jump.

Parks and Recreation star/SNL alum Amy Poehler is the latest funny person to engage “Always Open” host David Koechner and somehow eat Denny’s food in the process. Considering who’s already starred in this Gotham//DumbDumb-created show, we can probably expect to see David Cross, Michael Cera or Will Ferrell to drop by shortly. Here, Koechner continues his creepy shtick and gets too forward with Poehler, whom he refers to more than once as his “little sister.” Wonder why he never tried this with Jason Bateman.

Seeing as his DumbDumb partner Jason Bateman already made his appearance and yapped it up with David Koechner in the Denny’s “Always Open” debut, it was only a matter of time that Will Arnett would grace the booth, scarf down diner food and do the funny. Here, the Arrested Development alum, who also does VO work for GMC dont’cha know, plays psychotherapist of sorts and shows his own form of forgiveness. It sure did feel unscripted at the beginning, though, but nonetheless, here’s the latest from DumbDumb, Electus and Gotham. Credits after the jump..

Man, that David Koechner is so hot right now. As promised in our previous post regarding the launch of Denny’s “Always Open” web series, Sarah Silverman joins up with the aforementioned Anchorman star for a sit-down at the diner chain for a few minutes. One of the comedienne’s opening lines, complete with the porn music, kicks things off proper: “I do like it when people see me in a sexual way.” This “Always Open” installment, though, feels less “unscripted” and more improvisational as Koechner hits on Silverman throughout while she eats some toast and what looks like oatmeal. It’s like the awkward blind date you always wish you had. Credits after the jump…

David Koechner, aka Champ Kind from Anchorman, plays host in a new web series for Denny’s concocted by Gotham in partnership with Will Arnett and Jason Bateman‘s DumbDumb studio as well as Ben Silverman‘s Electus.  The idea: Round up a group of comedians, comedic actors and the like for a quick, unscripted conversation at one of the diner chain’s actual locations. The new “Always Open” talk show, which is basically an extension of Gotham’s “America’s diner is always open” campaign, will feature the likes of Sarah Silverman, Amy Poehler and Will Forte in the coming weeks.

The first clip above features Koechner and Arrested Development star Bateman yapping it up, bringing some dry humor and pretending to enjoy their meals. At the very least, it’s a decent branding attempt by the Gotham camp, which took over the Denny’s account last August.
