The trio touches on that unique disappointment of fulfilling a dream and finding its outcome underwhelming, and later offers some prescient advice about the Tonight Show's budget woes. Things start wrapping up with Sara talking pee about web [...]
These are some really funny shenanigans. Though the music makes it feel like a documentary about three kids who went missing in the Pacific Northwest. Why so serious? (Miss U, The Joker.) But in all seriousness, this very well made documentary really gets into Kurt's comedy brain, albeit briefly. It's the first of Scott Moran's Modern Comedian weekly web series, with nine more to come. Hopefully, they're all equally as hilarious, insightful, and moody sounding.[Via]
