Here's Nick Offerman offering to strip for you, if you donate enough money to Comedy Central’s star-studded autism benefit, Night of Too Many Stars. The event was held this past weekend, and the telecast will be airing this Sunday, Oct. 21, on the cable network, when a live phone bank of celebrities will begin taking donations for autism research. The benefit, founded by Robert Smigel, featured appearances from, like the title suggests, way too many stars, including Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Louis C.K., Ben Stiller, Tom Hanks, Al Pacino, Seth Rogen, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, and host Jon Stewart.

"Two weeks is a passable mustache. It’s like, 'Yeah, that’s a mustache.' But it takes longer for the upper nasal labial whiskers to reach the top lip. To grow the full ’stache is five to six weeks.

Remember how Nick Offerman is the best? Well, later this week, he is auctioning off Ron Swanson's moustache from last season. WHAT!? WHA!? HMMM!? Nick had the thing expertly shaved off and then had the hairs resembled into a full 'stache. Said godlike facial hair was then placed on a bust of Nick's face. The whole thing was then encased in museum-style glass because it is literally work of art. He is calling the resulting stache-ue (nailed it!) the Mustachium (pictured below) and the bidding begins at Thursday's Because of Ezra charity event. Nick told Vulture: "My mustache and I are tickled pink to have the opportunity [...]
Have you had a chance to digest the Emmy Nominations? If not, let me suggest a spoon full of salt and a spoon full of cocaine. Ok, now that that's settled, it's time for some good ol' fashioned gripin'.
Let's start at the top with "Outstanding Comedy Series". Obviously, it would be nice to see Community up there but that wasn't going to happen – it doesn't really thrive when only digested through a few episode submissions, it demands a certain all out immersion.
