Eugene Mirman's Reddit AMA Session Got Really Weird

by | February 5th, 2013

Comedian Eugene Mirman did a question-and-answer session on Reddit today, and things instantly got super weird.

On top of that, the internet masturbator recognized Mirman and asked if it was him, and it got written up in The Huffington Post.

Phil was a pal of mine from the Groundlings improv group in L.A. I saw him the night before he died. It was a tragedy. Horrible. Phil's voice is pretty distinctive. Hard to replace. Easy to make new characters so, we just let it go. (I created Lionel Hutz)

Dave Coulier Is Doing a Reddit AMA Right Now!

by | May 24th, 2012

Dave Coulier is doing a Reddit AMA right now. He said he'd answer any Full House questions and more? And more!? Maybe he'll explain why the deceased Pam Tanner had light hair and produced light-haired children, when her brother Jesse and his parents were all super dark-haired Greeks. I hope he enlightens us on what was the "it" he was always cutting out. It's also your chance to find out where to get a good cross-eyed bear on your next trip to Canada.
