On Letterman's 10 Most Genuine Moments with His Guests
These are all great, but the one missing is the Letterman/Zevon summit. Dave dedicated the entire show to Warren Zevon a few months before he died, gave him the chance to perform live for the last time, and we got one hell of a quote out of it: "Enjoy every sandwich." Sage advice from a man who knows he's dying. And it definitely showed Letterman's more genuine side.

On CollegeHumor and Funny or Die Just Released Pretty Much Identical Videos
Or maybe both writing teams got "inspired" by this McSweeney's post from October 7th? http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/occupy-main-street It all goes 'round and 'round, just like talented songsters Ratt once told us.

On Seth MacFarlane to Reboot, Ruin The Flintstones
@cooldude69 I'm sure he'll think of all sorts of clever ways for humans to use dinosaurs as everyday tools, and for the dinosaur to say "Ehhh, it's a living!". I don't understand why there's such reverence for a show that wasn't ever that funny. Old doesn't always mean funny, it just means old.

On This Week in Comedy Podcasts
There wasn't a new Best Show this week, but The Best Show Gems are good for a visit. But I get the feeling you won't be including Tom on any of these lists anytime soon.

On NBC Has a Hit with The Voice; What's That Mean For Their Comedies?
Let's not worry about this. NBC has proven time and time again that they are incapable of making bad programming decisions. Nothing can possib-lie go wrong.

On Summer 2011 Comedy Preview: Movies
@Dr.Zoidberg It's on page 2. You weren't wondering why their version of "summer" seemed to end on June 24th?

On The Graduate: The Father of the Modern Comedy of Awkwardness
"...non comedic films like "Little Fockers". That wasn't very subtle. But I liked it.

On Louis CK Talks About Why He Ditches Funny Jokes on HBO's Talking Funny
So after watching this, the one weak link was Gervais. I liked him in his episodic stuff, but he was just so out of sync at times when put in a room with stand up comics that it was painfully obvious. I was hating him by the end, and wondering who's dumb idea it was to invite him. Then I saw the production credit and realized it was him who put it together. I kept trying to imagine what it would have been like with just Rock, Seinfeld and C.K. chatting instead.

On Louis CK Talks About Why He Ditches Funny Jokes on HBO's Talking Funny
Seems like a semi-similar concept to "The Green Room", which I've liked some episodes of. I'll have to see if I can check this out somehow. I don't have HBO. I'll have to do some digging.

You left out Dewey Crowe though. That dude (and Dickey Bennett) are the comic backbone of the show.
